Are you serious?

In the UK we get our hospitals flooded every single winter with flu.

Last year we built field hospitals for covid but they were dismantled due to lack of demand.

In the US it's not super common to go to the hospital for anything short of an immeniently life threatening condition. Poor people do sometimes cause it's covered for them.

Hospitals in the UK - especially in metropolitan areas - are over capacity, and have been for months, due to COVID. Hence the lockdown. Johnson &co certainly don't want to require lockdown, but their forced to do so because of the rising infection rate, the highest in Europe at the moment.
