Do you remember the old adage about waiting for a London Bus, one can wait a long time and
then two arrive at the same time? We all get affected by delays and changes to expected
timetables whether on a journey or in an NHS waiting room. The NHS is finding it difficult to
attain to the 4-hour waiting time in A & E.
The problem of coronavirus will drastically affect both waiting and admissions at most of our
hospitals in the UK. The virus has become pandemic approaching 5,000 deaths globally so far.
In the UK it is expected to peak at the end of May, making the whole population vulnerable to the
infection that is spreading from continent to continent. The news and views about how long we will be in
lockdown changes on a daily basis.
