Hancock went into self isolation last Wednesday after PMq iirc. Boris went into isolation the day after

 

Government guidelines state 7 days from when symptoms first appear and not to  one out until the fever disappears.  Judging by how he looked at PMq,  he took that as his first day.

This ppe lark is a strange one.

Even the top bods in the NHS said there was enough in storage, but for whatever reason the distribution was shite.

I would have thought enough haulage was available to prevent shortages, but for some reason the army had to be brought in.

This set up will need to be reviewed for sure.

We even had a situation a day or two back with front line staff at odds with their own hospital management and saying they may have to reduce a&e service, as supposedly stuff wasn't getting to them/being requisitioned enough.

This whole system of supply seems to require some sort of overhaul as part of a planned nationwide emergency response.

Seems to me the biggest oversight has been about protecting those who look after the sick, as opposed to looking after the sick

You may well be right.

Traf made a pertinent point about this, how often would nursing staff need to be tested?

Perhaps blondie or Kent could shed some light.

Who would you test, patients or staff?

Clearly theres not enough tests or labs to process them to do both

Fwiw, the 'have you got it test' is a bit of a waste of time, imo

Potentially, a nurse is going to need testing tens and tens of times before we get through them all

We are never to have the capacity to do this

For me, it looks like until we get the antibody test, the chosen strategy is to hope for the best

 

On PPE, the tories either lied about the availability, or they massively fucked up on delivering it

Either way, im not buying excuses

My first hand knowledge is of a nhs building that has currently received just two boxes of masks

Theres over 30 staff, so thats 3 each

We've for 4 full time nurses off with syptoms at the moment. It's back breaking and mentally draining at the moment. Trying to explain to 87 yearr old 'Ethal' for the 6,000 time why she can't just 'nip to M&S' 'why do you need that mask on?' 'bloody daft, all I want to do is go and have my perm' 

 Is the reason I'm drinking on a school night.

Aye.

Did you see the article about these machines that can do a test in 90 minutes?

Whether it's feasible to test nurses at the end of their shift using one of these I don't know. At least they'd know whether to stay home before the start of their next shift.

And if I see any more stupid bastarda shopping with masks and gloves on, I'm going to tut and shake my head more vigorously than usual. Thick fuckers. 

Think the word is scared..
