The current COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a huge strategic and clinical change within the UK National Health Service (NHS) to ensure that it can cope with the surge in demand of respiratory patients. However, when attention is acutely shifted, routine care will suffer and that could be deadly for some and enormously expensive for the NHS in the long term. Fig, A, shows the increasing public interest over time relating to COVID-19 search terms in the Google Trends health category for the United Kingdom (UK) over the last 30 days. Clearly, COVID-19 is of significant interest for the population of the UK.
