I think they are worrying that the next phase will be more severe, resulting in more people becoming seriously ill or dying, the amount of ecmo machines in the UK is frighteningly low, so it would really be a bit of a lottery to see who gets the use! I think vaccinating is a bit of a waste to be honest as the vaccine can apparently lead to some horrific side effects! That's it, I am hiding under a rock.
