Gents, The previous and longstanding NHS attitude to PPE and other medical supplies was and is unsustainable, the prolifigate use and wastage, never mind downright theft(of masks and gloves by the carton, in the early days of the pandemic) cannot be provided for.

And "the usual suspects" will do their dammnest to blame the Conservatives.

How about asking the multitude of "managers" to do their jobs, instead of blaming the Government, the whole thing happened in slow motion, with plenty of heads-up/warnings from the Chinese experience.

BTW

A Prison Officer, very recently, like last week, related to me his account of beinging in an ICU here in NI.

With a prisoner/paitent.

Said prisoner/patient had recovered sufficiently so as to be discharged from the ICU.

The Nurse said"I'll put these 2 bottles of antibiotics to go with the paitent"

What about all the rest of the bottles and stuff? asked the PO,

Oh, it will all be dumped said the Nurse, along with the rest of this stuff,

as she commenced clearing 2 wardrobe sized cupboards into a yellow clynical waste bag,

standard procedure, this stuff could all be contaminated,

So WTF was it in there?

Marcus

Also, from observations during my stay in hospital some 6 months ago, many staff are less than rigerous re personal hygine protocals, so the supposed lack of PPE may well be a bit of a red herring.

Plus the possibility/probility staff contracted the virus outside of their work.

There are many dedicated and very good NHS/nursing staff, there are also a significent number who are  neither good nor dedicated, but again, what are the highly paid managers actually doing?

 

 

Do you really believe that? That it's down to dysfunctional management primarily and not a lack of money?
I'd love to spend a day in your head.

Why would he not believe it if he saw it first hand?

Remember that time The Lancet posted their article on the link between Vaccines and Autism and had to retract it 12 years later?

Because it does not fit in with his narrative. First hand empirical evidence? No thank you! I'll find an article on-line to validate my Confirmation bias.

By the same rationale we should blame the lack of planning for a worldwide pandemic on Trumps predecessor as well then?

 

FFS man wake up!

 

Obama set up a whole agency to prepare for future pandemics! Who do you think dismantled it?

I think you'll find Trump had epidemics well covered. He put his son in law in charge of that one ?

 

And now he's withdrawn all funding for the WHO, clearly in an effort to scapegoat them for his abysmal handing of the crisis.
