pouring massive amounts of money into the NHS for recruitment, training and possibly even some kind of incentive scheme to try to attract some of the international doctors and nurses who have left?
And some new hospitals (or expand existing ones). Same with medical schools etc. Probably takes a decade to make a significant difference.

The problem is that all of the endemic coronaviruses have a track record of evolving to evade immunity. Its just this is the first time we've been able to see it happen with vaccine acquired immunity.
There are no good solutions.
Better vaccines?
"thoughts and prayers" until such time that Covid19 becomes much less pathogenic (or much more pathogenic)?
Lockdowns cause harm, so the best we can do until either of the above happens is have vaccines + sensible light touch restrictions (ffp2 masks, strict controls for mass events etc etc) to reduce the need to have lockdowns combined with pouring massive amounts of money into the NHS for recruitment, training and possibly even some kind of incentive scheme to try to attract some of the international doctors and nurses who have left?
One thing is clear, herd immunity is unlikely to be the solution. Even if it was possible, the long covid cost would be too great.
