Coronavirus has currently infected at least 50,000,000 people world wide and has had over 30,000,000 recovered from it, however the number of peopel that has died from it is increasing massively and will continue to rise if nothing is done about it. A vaccine is almsot done and will be released soon if all things go well, but the hospital has suffered so much since coronavirus and has had the worse year since 2008.

The number of people waiting over a year for hospital treatment in England has hit its highest level since 2008 and that is due to coronavirus being at its peak yet again and being so deadly. For some surgeons, they say it was “tragic” leaving paients of theres in pain while they wait for the treatment, this would include knee and hip operations.

Even one of the paients that is currently waiting for treatment has spoken about her experence waiting for a treatment to be sorted for her. She has rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis.

“The pain isn’t something that affects me every now and then, it’s a problem every single day, Imagine two pebbles grinding against the bone in your feet. It’s constant. It causes a lot of problems in my life, physically and mentally. I psyched myself up for having the surgery. So the day I was told nothing would be happening, I was so upset. I work from home at moment. And some days, my husband comes home and I’m crying, feeling really down. I’m fed up with seeing Matt Hancock say “the NHS is open for business” because it’s not true. I’m being overlooked.” said Donna Doyle.
