“I believe some argue that the national health care system (UK. - RT ) is exhausted to the limit,” he said.

According to him, even before the crisis with coronavirus infection, "during the influx of patients there were not enough beds."

“In a local hospital, an increased load regime was often announced when beds were over and it was impossible to accept new patients to the traumatology and resuscitation departments. The healthcare system has been working to the limit for a long time, and some believe that it is under exorbitant stress, ”Kendrick added.

According to the doctor, this system has no reserves in case of a similar crisis.

He also said that the situation with coronavirus in Britain began erratically.

“Or even very chaotic. Obviously, people did not know what to do. There were, of course, problems in getting the right personal protective equipment, ”he said.

He cited as an example the situation with the nursing home, where there were contacts with the infected.

“If you were in contact with someone in a nursing home who had symptoms of COVID-19, you need to self-insulate for two weeks. And when the employees started showing symptoms of coronavirus and were diagnosed with coronavirus, they were told that they needed to stay at work. And there were a lot of such questions, they arose at every step, ”he said.

Kendrick talked about another problem that concerned elderly people living in nursing homes.

“According to the rules of the Health Authority of England, older people, even those with a coronavirus, had to be sent back to nursing homes. We did not understand why such a decision was made, because it is clear that this is the most vulnerable social group, and we send them from hospitals to back to nursing homes. How it could end, it was clear to anyone with brains, ”he added.

According to him, at present, the British authorities "have already realized that it is not worth trying to fill the homes of the elderly with people who have a virus or who could potentially have it."

He also noted that in parallel with coronavirus, people have a huge number of other health problems.

“Patients with cancer do not receive proper treatment, like other people who have, although they are not life-threatening in the short term, but still have serious diagnoses. We must loosen the regime of restrictions and with

in terms of medicine, and in terms of economics. And in my opinion, it was necessary to do this much earlier, ”he said.

On April 30, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced that Britain had passed the peak incidence of COVID-19.

He later noted that the country's level of coronavirus risk has decreased.
