This is a perfect example of where much of the media have an agenda and target an individual or organisation with skewed reporting to set a narrative.

From August this year...

Ambulance services in the South Central, South West, North East and East areas of England are being supported by the military.

The union, Unison, said it was a "sign things are not right" within the ambulance service.

I don't see how this is agenda driven by the media, mate.

The only agenda I see on a regular basis comes from the SNP party. The media are just reporting that Sturgeon has been denying that Scotland is in crisis but yet they've called for military assistance. She should have done it a while ago by all accounts but her stubbornness to show that Scotland doesn't need assistance has spectacularly backfired on her yet again. The media aren't reporting that using military assistance is a Scottish only issue, just that Sturgeon is all over the place with her briefings.

I'm not supporter of Sturgeon mate but the volume of reporting and borderline hysteria over the past 24 hours is markedly different to a footnote on a BBC website 3 weeks ago when England needed the same in almost half of their NHS Trusts. That btw is still ongoing in those Trusts. Not to mention that Northern Ireland have also had support through private companies such as St John's Ambulance service. It's a problem all over 3 of the 4 home nations.

Sturgeon: Military support for ambulance service called in amid 'unacceptable' waiting times | HeraldScotland
Covid Scotland: Army asked to support ambulance service as Sturgeon denies 'crisis' | Nicola Sturgeon says staff under 'acute pressure' and apologises for 'unacceptable' long waits | The Scotsman
Scottish Government requests military support over ambulance pressure - STV News

It's being reported all over Scotland, too. They've had people waiting over 40 hours for an ambulance, I'm not sure if anywhere in England has been stretched that much. If Sturgeon hadn't have been so in denial and requested assistance earlier it would have probably made as much news as England and NI. She's held out because she hates using anything British and doesn't want to be seen to be needing our help which has made their situation far worse. She denied to the Scottish parliament that Scotland didn't need military help when they absolutely did and that has gone on to cost lives, this absolutely deserves to be reported on.

Proof of a negative test should be all anybody needs to be fair. I don't like the way we are heading as a society with the way unvaccinated people are starting to be viewed almost as second class citizens. What next, make them sit in different carriages on a train journey?

Not sure what the concern is in Italy. The images of the hospital having patients on beds outside overfilled wards in early 2020 were not harrowing at all. It is just the Flu and the immune system and horse worming tablets are all you need.

Negative test should be enough. I suppose the problem is managing and collating that info with people needing to be tested every week. It’s probably easier to just have proof of vaccination, but in principle I agree, a negative test should be enough.
