Wards were divided into Covid and non Covid handling ones to limit spread of the virus. Hospitals in london were absolutely smashed and this post is ridiculous. NHS own statistics show that normal hospitalisations were down bc ppl didn’t want to leave own homes
Debbie Hicks was arrested, convicted and fined for filming a completely empty hospital in December 2020—at a time when the hospitals were allegedly "overwhelmed"—in an attempt to show that the so-called "pandemic" was fraudulent.
A Scottish Covid-19 inquiry recently heard from hospital staff that hospitals were indeed "half-empty" during that period.
Hospital porter, Neil Craig: "We were used to the wards being full to capacity... but then you'd go into the wards and they were, like, half-empty."

In the UK the company already providing this is called SMOL for anybody interested. You can get a subscription from their website or buy in bigger Sainsbury’s. Some in capsules and some concentrates
Most consumer products are just water.
Billions of tons moved per year is water that can be up to 90% of the product weight.
What if you added your water at home?

iPhone 16 is an amazing phone, but it just doesn't feel like an iPhone anymore.
This video from @jon_prosser made me realize I'm not the only one thinking Apple is losing track of what made them Apple.
- What made Apple software special was its clean, robust, and easy UX.
- It was about Apple making UX decisions for the user, rather than giving them control; avoiding gimmicks.
- It was about Apple being as late as possible to the party, but when they came, they had the best, most-refined UX of the said feature.
Yeah, this approach was restrictive, but it ensured the OS stayed clean. There were minimal options, but all of them were great.
Today, there are more options and features, but many of them are just mediocre.
Let's take the Camera Control button, for example.
The old Apple would never have put an extra, redundant button on the iPhone and sacrificed minimalism.
It's very finicky, and very much a gimmick. Apple should NOT be doing gimmicks.
Another example: Apple Intelligence.
For the time in history, it felt like Apple is acting threatened and is fighting like any other company would.
They rushed to introduce Apple Intelligence... which wasn't even ready.
It's unlike Apple to announce something that's not ready yet. They should've waited and cooked AI internally, until it was refined and ready.
- Not caring about what others are doing.
- Being as late as needed.
- Making great decisions on behalf of the user.
^ This is the old Apple style, and we loved it.
For the first time in history, it's possible to make your home screen look so terrible it resembles an Android from 2011.
Some of you would argue it's not a bad thing and it's up the user. You would be right.
But it's also right that some of us have a knack for minimalism; we liked Apple for not throwing in so many features that the OS gets redundant, messy, and convoluted, which affects everyone.
All that being said, I really hope Apple gets back on track and starts doing things the Apple way again. Otherwise, my respect for Apple and love for its products will keep going down as it has started happening.
@Odds75@PeterDiamandis AI is very resource intensive to run. Storage, electricity, compute. You can just unplug it or throw water at a server. It’s not very hard to “kill” AI. You assume it will replicate itself. But those models are hundreds of gigs large and require powerful hardware to run.
