The messaging early in the pandemic seemed less about “not burden the health service with your own illness” directly, and more the indirect impact that burden created in servicing non-covid patients. I don’t think that changes much, does it? Still seems like we need to make sure people need to not be overwhelming hospitals. Either via vaccination or other means.
