It is a reasonable assumption that one could catch Covid,


Trivial to avoid that happening.

need oxygen, and find that there are no beds available and no spare
oxygen cylinders for home use as supplies have run out.


I can see that you can buy an oxygen concentrator for around £250-£300.
I also see from https://bnf.nice.org.uk/treatment-summary/oxygen.html


Makes more sense to avoid getting infected or get vaccinated to avoid
severe disease and the need for oxygen.

That seems on the face of it to be a brain dead response.

Avoiding catching Covid but also doing basics like shopping isn't a given.

Vaccination may not be available until the middle of the year.
