>>Out of interest what action would a GP take if a COVID sufferer rang to report that their breathing was laboured?
Same as we do with any acute undifferentiated (undiagnosed) condition: assess, examine and advise.
My experience of Covid patients who sought advice at least in wave 1 & 2 was they were either (a) fine but not enjoying symptoms, or (b) actually much more unwell than they thought they were.
The current Omicron-y flavour seems much less likely to cause the pneumonitis and pulmonary emboli of the Delta and earlier variants.
Assume Zippy is ok - bit concerned he hasn't replied yet!
