even the original story was only "expected to", so I don't know how the whole picture will turn out. It's a great waste of life, but a lot more lives would have been saved by monitoring Covid in care homes, for instance.
(I know this shouldn't be an either/or choice, but the truth is that Covid is taking a lot of the money that would normally go into other health matters. Politicians' eyes are being taken off the ball a lot these days, but I have some sympathy for them.)
