MY elective surgery scheduled for two weeks ago was cancelled at the last minute, after two days of fasting and purging, presumably because a private hospital bed might have been needed for a COVID patient.
Perhaps those smug enough to disbelieve the medical profession and rely on their own rude health might also choose, when they get sick, to give up their right to publicly-funded ambulances, hospitals and our dedicated nursing staff - or else choose to pay for them privately.
