oyoolima:My dear leave people. Imagine the multi million pound lawsuit if a builder fell off scaffolding because his employer did not not give him the safety wear he needed to climb heights. At one point I was earning less than £2000 a month as a doctor so it boils my blood when people claim we are greedy. Imagine me sacrificing my life for a job that pays me less £2000 a months so that I will win altruist of the year. 4 Likes |

Aphrodite007: I have done you the favour of showing you the recommended WHO protective wear and what is obtainable in the NHS. My trust is even Hoarding scrubs. And no this IS NOT what I signed up for. I’ve spent all of today on my feet without even sitting for 30 mins, doing blood tests, seeing patients and holding people’s hands to tell them their swab results have come back positive and we can’t really treat them. Today a 13 year old boy worn no know underlying health problems died from corona virus. It’s a luck of draw how mild or bad each person’s case may be. For someone who has suffered this illness it is shocking that you think doctors and nurses should just suck it up and expose themselves to a virus that could potentially kill them and ignore the negligence from an employer because they took an “oath”. What sacrifice? Would you be taking care of my young kids if I succumbed to the virus because I took an “oath” and knew what I signed up for? 9 Likes

Uglyduckling: It’s even good. If you don’t, you’ll catch it and sit at home. Or maybe you’ll fall sick and be admitted, then no horse will attend to you because they don’t have PPE. They won’t change your drip even when your blood flows out, they won’t even give you water to drink- cos no PPE. I said you took an oath to die? Pls show me where I wrote it because it’s as if we need to fix your reading skills. |

It's very easy for some people to sit comfortably in their homes and start judging people who are putting their lives on the line. Someone on here mentioned something about if soldiers die, they die. What kind of callous, stupid and disrespectful statement is that? If you have lost a brother or sister or child in the military then maybe you will understand. A soldier is a human being with a name and family. They sign up to do what most people can't and sometimes pay with their lives. No healthcare practitioner is paid to put their lives on the line. They are human beings too and have families who love them and don't want to lose them. Every employee regardless of doctors and nurses should be able to carry out their duties without fear of risk or harm. Please please please keep your insensitivity to yourself and try to have some empathy. I am curious to know when you have ever put your life on line for anyone else or even a stranger? 13 Likes |

Aphrodite007:You have a very nasty attitude, can you please pause for a moment and appreciate the efforts of all health workers and stop judging them. If it pain you too much, maybe you should go back to school and get a health care degree so that you can become a hero and save lives, but before then just keep your insensitive opinions to yourself. If you don't have anything nice to say to health workers, then keep your mouth shut 14 Likes 1 Share |

Aphrodite007: Another person who took an oath to die according to you while earning barely £15/hr if not less. Hopefully you will be going to play his role as husband, father and grand father. I wonder if health care assistants also took an “oath”. The very one you are so obsessed about. PS: these are the ones who would give me water in the hospital and thank God I am not selfish enough to expect them to wait on me like hotel staff whilst putting their lives at risk without adequate protection

fadhilat1:I watched this 3 or 4 days ago. It's no suprise that they quickly flattened the curve with minimal impact to their economy. They should bring in all ministers of public health, management and decision makers from different countries, lock them up in a room and ensure they watch the video like 10 times on repeat. There should be an exam or test after watching the video as well. 2 Likes |

Aphrodite007: The perfect way to describe the PPE kits presently provided, is akin to a sandwich factory..... Those selling your favourite bap at subway, wear gloves and apron, to sell your favourite lunch meals..... It's this same PPE, they expect you to wear, to combat an unknown virus, with no known medical cure + tissue mask (I feel the FRC, know the cure), but keeping mute........

Aphrodite007:I salute your passion in demanding responsibility and courage from the system. But let me take on the buzzer issue first. I have ignored buzzers a couple of times for some moments and I have observed diligent and caring managers do same. It's called prioritizing, I don't claim to know the circumstances of the unit when the buzzer of your co-patient went off, but I can bet there was most possibly important and life threatening issues being dealt with by the staff. There was a particular night duty, I had two elderly and delirious patients under my care, one pressed the bell because she needed the commode, on my way to get one for her because the healthcare assistants were busy with another patient. Then the second delirious patient had a fall and started bleeding ( for whom I have requested for 1:1 specialling, but was declined). I pressed the emergency bell, every one left whatever they were doing and came round to help, We assisted the patient back to bed with a full hoist and started full observations, I went to the phone to make a MET call. The first patient that needed a commode started shouting. Of course passersby would think, the nurse left this patient in limbo and was making calls. This is just one example out of many real cases. Forget what happens in movies, hospitals are real time places where real time and time bound decisions are made. A nurse committed suicide in Italy as reported, when she tested positive to Covid19, she left a note, that she feared she must have spread the disease unknowingly to other patients. Without PPE, no one is safe, the staff, the patients, the system and the society. Some bays are closed because, no staff to man them, because the staff are either in post-exposure isolation or protective isolation. I got news this morning that some colleagues on a particular ward that I have worked tested positive, one was reportedly being intubated. These are people that I have worked with, friends that we have have shared chocolate and cookies during breaks, jokes and pranks, healthy people without preexisting conditions, would I be ok to see them in the situation they are now. As I have said before on this platform, the whole world can do with a lot of positivity and encouragement right now. I rest my case here. 14 Likes |

In Iceland, around 5% of the population were tested. 50% of those that tested positive show no symptoms (asymptomatic), confirming multiple studies that show that asymptomatic, or mildly symptomatic, people have played an important role in spreading the virus. 2 Likes |

sassysure: If you disagree with the data emanating from China regarding Covid19, you will also disagree with the WHO data. The WHO has monitors in China who are there partly to understudy the chinese model for dealing with the virus, but mainly to ensure that the data from China is accurate and validated. Let's assume that the data from China and the WHO are both wrong, it still doesn't explain why data from other countries like South Korea, Germany, Italy, France etc actually mirror the chinese data in terms of disease spread, trajectory, mortality rate, importance of mass testing and mass lockdown procedures etc. When China shutdown a lot of their cities to combat this virus at the early stages, a lot of countries slagged them off as a communist regime perpetuating draconian policies. The same countries have since adopted similar strategies to combat the virus. We owe a lot to China on understanding how this virus works. The only reason the worldwide deathtoll isn't worse than it currently is is because China has been very open specifically regarding data on this virus. I could talk more on the relevance of the data from China, but let me rest here for now. I disagree with China on a lot of things, but as an avid lover of public health science and epidemiology, China has been spot on on this specific issue. 6 Likes |
