Slight change of subject, but it is closely linked, and it is happening as I type.

My next door neighbour had a severe toothache yesterday. He called the dentist but he cannot be seen because of isolation. He was told if it is still bad today, try again.

This morning he collapsed about 6am, as far as we can tell at the moment because of infection setting in. An ambulance was called over an hour ago (on 111 advice) but has still to arrive. We also know that a nephew died of sepsis in similar circumstances.

We hear from the Chief Medical Officer that the equivalent of 5 (I think) hospitals have been 'created' through re-prioritising things. That is, in effect, people like my neighbour not getting prompt treatment.

There will be a lot of deaths that are indirectly due to the virus, I think, which are just as important as deaths directly due to it.
