If you get ill and have to be treated in hospital you are not "clogging up," "swamping" or "bogging down" anything. That's what hospitals are there for. A decent government in a wealthy country such as ours should ensure that contingency plans are in place in case of major outbreaks of illness, and that includes spare capacity. Instead, we have a government that lets both the health service and care sector rot while it contemplates the next hundred billion vanity project. Of course, it's far easier to blame an innocent holidaymaker or a homeless bloke on a bus...

By the way, "rumour suggests ...." is classic weasel words which entirely destroys the validity of anything that follows.
