No organisation should be using Covid as an excuse for failing to provide a service 20 months in to the pandemic. I say this as someone who runs a Customer Service function. We have 100% of our people capable of working from home.

Any suggestions as to how to speak to a human at BA who can look at this?
The level of staffing hasnt been changed due to covid I dont get why BA have that message, personally. BA has everyone it can working either from home or in the office. Try calling early afternoon there often seems to be a lull on the weekend then.
