If I move a bloke with a broken leg (NOT A BLOKE WITH COVID-19) from one general ward to another, a simple patient transfer. I have to first don and then junk, within metres of putting them on, three full PPE uniforms, visor, mask, gloves and apron. With a bit of common sense and ward assistance, I don't actually need to don any PPE at all.

Hello decadence
If I move a bloke with a broken leg (NOT A BLOKE WITH COVID-19) from one ward to another, a simple patient transfer. I have to first don and then junk, within metres of putting them on, three full PPE uniforms, visor, mask, gloves and apron. With a bit of common sense and ward assistance, I don't actually need to don any PPE at all. I am wholly unconcerned whether you believe me or not.
If you are following infection control guidelines you are not wasting PPE. You are using it properly.....how do you know a man in a hospital with a broken leg isn’t asymptomatic for Covid or some other bug? Hospitals are very good places for picking up and transferring infections.....remember C Difficile?

If there is a risk involved (assumed, known or not) then 1 uniform of PPE could be used for the situation I described, not 3 uniforms.

PPE is being wasted in an astronomical fashion??? Could you provide some evidence for that? Because quite frankly, I don’t believe you.
Well we have the 400,000 gowns and the 26M of eye protection which 17M was sent out before they tested them.
Which turned out to be the same ones Mrs 73 has been using for weeks :sad:
 
Scram News covered this and must have a good phone directory because they spoke with Richard Inman, the Rbinman I mentioned earlier. He denies the website he runs has anything to do with the appearance of flyers but goes on a video rant agreeing with most of it anyway.
Fransen did indeed register a similarly titled company two weeks ago. Whether it is a case of Popular Peoples Front of Judea misunderstanding or not Fransen and Inman have documented form as cohorts. She has not surfaced to confirm or deny but is probably reveling in the attention.
I wondered when the haters would surface, they have been quiet for months. With their fans attention being distracted from Muslim and foreigner hate the only way to get attention is to focus on "gubbermint" mistrust, hate and the "stasi state". The ground is very fertile for the disaffected and anti social right now with the crud circulating online amplified by states including Russia.
Must dash, 5G masts ahoy!

Fwiw - the biggest waste of £4bn was the 2009/10 re organisation which imo achieved nowt and has had to be slowly undone.
Are those dates correct? The reorganisation led by Andrew Lansley, which was certainly both extremely expensive and destructive, took place between 2011 and 2013, I believe.

I got to the bit when she tried to explain why she wasn't entirely sure if there even was a virus. :crazy:

As I understand it Italy is reopening for travel, with no quarantine period for entrants, from June 3.

And restaurants can reopen as long as folk aren't closer to one metre to those not at their table. Which sounds to me like "as normal" since I'm not in the habit of picking food from neighbouring tables.

had the 'how ya doing call" from gp surgery yesterday
She knows about my anxiety and depression issues - she asked if I had thought about harming myself - I almost replied
"no but I thought about harming other people!!!!"

Like you, our GP is aware of mine and my fella's depression and self harm. For lack of anything better to do, we decided to give opposite answers when asked if we'd thought about self harm. Got essentially the same reply of "Well, it's a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Keep your chin up and do your best."

Fortunately we've both had a positive week and could laugh about it, but saying things like that can be really unhelpful. Seems to be the stock response of the crisis team too. Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful for what services they provide, and I appreciate they're in a difficult and stressful situation, but at least try and change the record; a discernible remix would be at least encouraging.
