https://mas.to/@ZeroCovidScot/10...Right now, 37% of patients needing emergency care in Scotland wait more than 4 hours. Guess when the figure first went above 20% (and stayed above it)? Start of Covid pandemic? No. Overwhelmed hospitals after delayed lockdown Christmas 2020? Nope. Answer: The week of Scotlands equivalent of "Freedom Day", mid-July 2021. Deteriorating further early 2022 when remaining protections were scrapped. So much for "it was the lockdown"...
