The main PPE shortage is the overall type smocks (that I think are paper based) that cover the arms etc and tie round the back, and provide full protection for those on COVID wards. They’re now asking for these to be reused or to just use the plastic pinny type things that don’t cover the arms instead.

Hancock said they’ll have another 55,000 of them by Friday, which I read was about 8 hours national supply. So yeah why not try and get the manufacturing industry to help out? Or maybe they should have seen this coming a month back and asked then.

My daughter is front line and is only getting the plastic pinny things, she’s complained it’s not safe and the answer was ‘we haven’t got anything else’.

Dyson said he was going to make ventilators a few weeks ago. Great way to get some publicity. He hasn’t made any that are in the system yet.

I was surprised that there were so few role for volunteers that did not require a DBS as not that many people have them from my understanding (though I could be wrong)

When the volunteering first came about, the first thing that went through my head when I heard about it was DBS. What part of that did the government not figure out! They should have split on the request the people into three groups....1. DBS....2. CRB....3. Neither...I could organise a piss up better than this lot.

My Mrs bought one of his hair dryers, I wouldn’t have thought sick people want a ventilator that dispenses 30,000 gallons of air per second via a cyclone system anyway.

I think after this crisis is over, I can see loads of criminal cases. I'll defend them in the sense of world crisis, but in the next breath, i'd be asking why didn't you use the resources of your 70 million population and manufacturing industry. If an army can build a hospital in a week, then there is no excuse for not having aprons/masks, other than raw materials, but you just resource an alternative.

With the PPE I suspect it is because you can't 100% guarantee that a wipedown eliminates the virus completely.

That said it would still be better than no PPE and the distribution, or rather lack of it, to care homes, borders on being a war crime.

I was referencing brb's comments about the war in the post I was replying to ... it was more allegorical than literal.

It is however a prime example of negligent gross incompetence and whoever is responsible is not fit for the job and should be made accountable for needless deaths of some care workers and also residents. <ok>

In fairness mate,

1) suggesting that teachers get in the showers with kids is not an awkwardly worded comment...it was simply bollocks

2) Duggie sdmits he said it to make a point so it was deliberately done.

It was a clumsy, non deliberate, comment from someone who is clearly a generation above even you and me.
Teachers did used to go in changing rooms, they did when I as at school.

As for the showers bit, while obviously incorrect, it's taking a ****ing hard line for it to be turned round that he meant transgenders and gays are all *****s.

Tbh I assumed he was in his 50s like me.
As for the second bit, I didn't suggest that and not sure I saw that said but could have missed it I guess.

Yes we are both the same if you put it like that in a wonky way of thought .... We are in truth polar opposite on our beliefs though.... she hates the underclass that includes you I hate people who fk and eat children like the royals.

A study done on the Chinese victims, calculated you were 14x more likely to develop serious respiratory symptoms from CV if you’re a smoker.

The story that it somehow helps appears to have come from the artist David Hockney.......
