That advice to seek treatment was drowned out by the "Stay Home, Protect the NHS, Save Lives" slogan that was repeated everywhere, along with use of death/infection numbers that were spun out of proportion by the media.

It is no surprise that people decided that the risk of seeking treatment was not worth it.

Yeah my local doctors' surgery had massive posters in its windows during the lockdown that basically said 'go away'. If you braved leaving your house and going to them, you'd be put off again before you got to the doors.
