Cancer specialists weren't deployed onto ICUs - what happened in the last few years was that protocols meant that operations had to be done far more slowly or not at all. A close friend of mine had an operation be cancelled because two specialists would have had to be in the same room and that was not possible "cus covid"[0]. So now there's an enormous backlog of which at least some was completely avoidable. [0]"cus covid" - i.e. not actually because of coronavirus, but because we were doing things like following arrows around on the floor, having people isolate for weeks on end during periods in which every tube carriage had at least one person who had the virus, etc.
