Chris Philp just said lockdowns cause cancer treatment delays. I'm sorry... Which tier is it where you CLOSE THE F**** HOSPITALS?!
Lockdown doesn't delay treatment. COVID DOES. It overloads hospitals so they can't do anything else.
Why doesn't #BBCqt have scientists on anymore!

It's bloody infuriating. These @IsabelOakeshott types who say almost everyone should get back to normal, justify their position by referring to delayed NHS treatments... And shows like @bbcquestiontime let them get away with that BS!
DON'T TALK SCIENCE WITHOUT SCIENTISTS!

TLDR:
If infection rates run out of control, then not only does that mean more hospital beds are used on Covid, but it means with the increased risk of infection, hospitals have to take more safety measures, both of which, effectively lower their capacity for standard healthcare.

I hope @IsabelOakeshott now understands why I reacted so badly to her taking advantage of a widow whose husband died because the hospitals couldn't treat him, so she could promote a strategy that would make more widows just like her.
