In a stunning move, the British National Health Service, which operates the government-run medical system, ordered the cancellation of over 50,000 “non-urgent” surgeries in every hospital across England, leaving sick patients in limbo as they wait for procedures.

The order came on Tuesday, as hospitals dealt with large crowds stemming from a winter outbreak of the flu. Some patients were forced to wait 12 hours, standing in the corridors as seating areas became overwhelmed, according a Washington Free Beacon report.

British Prime Minister Theresa May offered an apology on Thursday during an interview with Sky News. "I know it's difficult, I know it's frustrating, I know it's disappointing for people and I apologize," she said as she visited patients at a London hospital.

12 hrs of standing in a hallway filled with mucous, snot, flying spittle, people coughing and gagging all around.

NHS attempts to save £3 per flu jab have fuelled winter crisis as 'Japanese flu' spreads through hospitals


Attempts by health officials to cut costs on flu vaccines have fuelled the NHS winter crisis, senior doctors have warned.

Health service documents suggest GPs were put under pressure to save around £3 per jab by buying vaccines which do not protect against one of the key strains in circulation.

Dr Nick Scriven, president of the Society of Acute Medicine, said around half of flu cases being treated in hospital might have been avoided, if a more comprensive jab had been chosen.

It comes amid rising levels of influenza across the country, which could reach epidemic levels if current trends continue.

Half of cases in hospital are suffering from A strains, the most deadly of which is a strain dubbed “Aussie flu”, because it fuelled Australia’s worst flu season in two decades.

Is there a flu vaccine that protects against all flu virus.?

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/this-years-flu-vaccine-may-only-be-10-effective-experts-warn/

The best seems to only be 30% effective and that is in years past, this years is 10%, so is this story really accurate? Would a few more pennies have made a difference?
