That’s the girlfriends granny away. She’d been diagnosed with terminal cancer a year ago and had been confirmed with Coronavirus last week.

Fucking awful.

Sooner this is over the better.

My condolences to you both. 

My mother in law, was asked to sign a DNR last week, by surgery staff, who were clearly upset at having to do this.

It's an awful state of affairs.

FFS, Matt Hancock want to give all us carers a wee badge. My life is complete.

Probably sums up the response to this whole tragic affair. 

"Thousands have died, and over 700 people are dying a day. We absolutely and completely forgot to consider our society's most vulnerable people in care homes, and those receiving care at home, to the point where we don't even know how many of them have died.

We didn't ensure, or even regulate, the standard and supply of ppe to staff, or through the care commission, provide guidance on visits from outsiders to care homes, or isolation of people with symptoms. No testing either.

But never mind that shit, we've worked hard all day at drawing them a logo. They didn't even have a logo ffs. We've fixed that issue now. 

So stand on your doorstep and clap please."

That's tough. When grannies die the grandchildren sometimes take it harder than their parents.

Some Welsh talking head was on the news saying mass gatherings should/could be banned for a year. He failed to mention how many people constitute a “mass”. 

A priest + one other...

The awful Piers Morgan interviewing Matt Hancock on GMB at 8.30am.

Will he give him as hard a time as he gave Helen Whately yesterday?

He’ll tear him a new hoop. I will be watching.

My girlfriend is a care worker & had the first death (confirmed) at her care home today.
She spent 3 hours with the unfortunate gentleman last night, she has sat with plenty others when they’ve passed and said this mans last few hours were horrific. fortunately (for her), the resident made it through the night. He received 3 separate visits from NHS nursing staff between 10pm & 6am to administer morphine etc.
He passed away this morning. I’ve always taken this seriously, but when your partner comes home from work after going through that, it does make a difference. One of the NHS nurses commented that the care home staffs PPE was equivalent to what would be expected in a sandwich shop... Stay safe everyone.

Regarding the lack of suitable PPE, it makes me think of Chernobyl and how the brits were quick to shake their heads and tut tut about the army guys and labourers being sent in to sweep up all the radioactive gear that would almost certainly result in serious illness or death.

This is over 30 years on and our own government are effectively sending frontline care workers and NHS workers into a similar situation and similarly ill equipped.

Yes, it's being talked about but that's not good enough, our media and mp's and even the unions need to be doing far more as it's a national disgrace which is quickly becoming a national tragedy by the day.

What is this let's raise money for the NHS that on BBC this morning, it's really infuriating me.

Taxation should adequately pay for it.

Charities are picking up the tab more often than they should already, due to austerity.

Yeah let's pay twice for NHS, because government can't manage it correctly as theyneed more cash for their pals, second homes, coke and whores 

You really couldn't make this shit up and people are buying into it, morons.

Just started watching and noticed on the bottom right of the screen a NHS National Charities Appeal - text CLAP and donate a fiver to NHS.  Now just a advert about it.....wtf is that all about, why is the government not paying for this.  I'm I missing something here, has the UK just one big charity country now run by the handouts, while the Tories, well Tory away.

Heading in the same direction as the USA where 'philanthropist' billionaires, who have done their utmost to avoid paying tax, donate to charity and are lauded for it.

 

Having said that, I'd like a system where I could choose where my tax was spent. Not on the monarchy, nukes, etc.

The Daily Mail has this:-

Quote

An extra 2,600 people a week are dying from non-coronavirus causes as 'disturbed' experts say Britons are struggling to get treatment amid the crisis

On the comments section most folk  seem to be interpreting this as ' too much time, money, resources being spent on a stupid virus'.

There is a 99 year old army veteran who’s doing 100 laps of his garden to raise money for the NHS and he’s raised £12 million sheets and counting. The NHS isn’t a charity but if it can guilt trip a few Tory c***s then so be it.

Let's see a scoreboard of Tory c**t donations v the Rest.
