00:00I know loads of people in hospital. Do they need to be in hospital?
00:05Hospitals can't cope. Where do we go from here?

00:14and obviously keep up to date on vaccines.
00:17Well, I'm a pensioner, you know, like all other pensioners,
00:20and lots of other people have a flu jab, which is preventive.

00:26but, yeah, that's a little bit of a worry, yeah,
00:29especially when it affects the NHS so much.
00:33My nan has had problems with the flu, and she just...
00:38I mean, how long she's lived through the NHS and its ups and its downs,
00:42she's given up at the end of the day.
00:44She just kind of sits at home and takes paracetamol and complains.
00:48But that's all she can really do because she has reduced mobility.
00:53She doesn't feel it's worth it nowadays to walk to the GP
00:58just to be told to come back.
