I call him effing gethin because of the 'F' word he dropped online in his publicly broadcast zoom plenary

And I now have two funerals to attend sometime between next March/April and March/April 2022 where people denied cancer therapy and sent for covid tests before the consultant would see them have been told they are now dead people walking (terminal cases for whom other treatments are being abandoned).


So yes, I can easily believe the 2,000.


I just wish it was 2,002.

As many as 2,000 people could die because of Covid-related delays in the Welsh NHS, a cancer expert has said.

With virus cases rising, Prof Tom Crosby, of the Wales Cancer Network, fears cancer cases missed in the first lockdown may now be harder to treat.

Health Secretary Vaughan Gething said it would be "foolish" to have a plan for backlogs before the pandemic is over.

I guess this is why JOG calls him 'effing gething'.

They should be held criminally liable. What is the point of them if they 'have no plan'? They could work one based on projections and then adjust it accordingly, instead they say just shut up and don't criticise us.

The Welsh NHS is run by some very bigly bad or sick guys.
