11:42 pm
figures are calling it terrifying, the british health foundation are quoted in this saying it's usually concerning. so a big strong headline from the daily telegraph on this, and some things that we kind of weren't surprised by, i suppose, and some things that we kind of weren't surprised by, isuppose, but it feels like an indication of what the long—term effects are of the coronavirus pandemic, for sure. yeah. �* , yeah. laughter i yeah. laughter i think— yeah. laughter | think that's - yeah. laughter - i think that's right, this is yeah. laughter _ i think that's right, this is the storym — i think that's right, this is the sto , , ., ., i think that's right, this is the sto , ., ., story... this is on the front of the teleu-rah story... this is on the front of the telegraph about _ story... this is on the front of the telegraph about a _ story... this is on the front of the telegraph about a number - story... this is on the front of the telegraph about a number of - story... this is on the front of the i telegraph about a number of people who have died. it's the idea that many people would've had checkups or appointments, things would've been discovered, and now it may be too late, they've not had enough time to get the treatment that might�*ve prevented these disease becoming fatal. i prevented these disease becoming fatal. ~ �* , ., prevented these disease becoming fatal. ~ �*, ., fatal. i think it's a good point, it's a good _ fatal. i think it's a good point, it's a good analysis _ fatal. i think it's a good point, it's a good analysis and - fatal. i think it's a good point, it's a good analysis and it's . fatal. i think it's a good point, - it's a good analysis and it's making the point _
