Savage Henry Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Reading that New York has increased its testing by over a thousand-fold, so the picture isn’t quite as horrendous as it may seem. A lot of the case based graphs don’t take that into account. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just been reading on various that the USA is going to be the next epicentre and possibly the worst hit country in both relative and absolute terms. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post pandarilla Posted March 27, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 27, 2020 They're only doing their jobs. Spoiler I understand I may come under some criticism for this. Each to their own but have you ever needed the nhs - like really needed them?I've (unfortunately) got frequent flyer miles at ninewells and every now and then i realise how ridiculously lucky i am. My care has been in their hands so many times, on a few occasions the type of care that keeps me alive.But i remember having the same feeling when my daughter was born in an emergency section through the night. At one point i just looked around at all the staff and all the equipment and it just made me feel small.Yes they're doing their jobs. But they're part of something (a state run healthcare system) that i think is truly extraordinary.If i lived in the United States i could not continue to have the career and life i have. Simple as that.The national health service is something that most people in this country deeply appreciate, and rightly so. But it's made up of hundreds of thousands of individuals going about their job day in day out. Fucking right i took a wee minute to applaud. 30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savage Henry Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Just been reading on various that the USA is going to be the next epicentre and possibly the worst hit country in both relative and absolute terms.It was more a general point. What you are saying may well be true, and none of it is good, but it’s worth keeping in mind if you find the graphs a bit frightening. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KillieCon Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Mrs KillieCon works in a specialised department in the NHS. As of next week she is being moved departments to help out and will be taking on the role of a general nurse.She has already been told that there is not enough PPE for the staff crossing over and there are doctors and anaesthetists who are still waiting to be fitted for the proper equipment. I'm now shitting myself about the potential consequences of this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, incidentally we have c50% of our staff either self isolated for 12 weeks as vulnerable people or self isolating due to displaying symptoms, Retailers are getting decimated at the moment.

I was ok with working putting out deliveries only, but the majority of the drivers across the the company weren't comfortable with this, so head office got managers from all the depots to ring round the branch staff and find out who'd be willing to work and take it from there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
