    When thousands are dying outside of hospitals I beg to differ.

    I not going to listen to your incorrect rubbish mate. The NHS has not denied people hospital treatment. You are being disrespectful.

    I know of people who have been in a bad way and treated over the phone, if you can call it that. In normal circumstances they’d have been right to go to hospital. It’s not disrespectful but just your usual tactic.

    Testing capacity now 40,000 a day!

    Let’s have a little sweepstake for the closest guess to how many tests are actually being done.

    I really can’t be arsed to fact check this for another source to back it up but this suggests £1.3bn rather than Hancock’s £0.

    Perhaps not ‘denied’ but I’m told that it’s much tougher to get in now than it was a few weeks ago, and there are definitely protocols in place for access to ITU/ventilation. I would not be surprised at all to hear that a care home manager has asked for Edna, 89 and very frail with dementia and now with breathing difficulties, to be hospitalised and for the request to be declined (by a doctor).

    It might be the decision I would make too, if I were in the unfortunate position of having to make such horrendous choices.

    Something must have been ramped up as we’ve ramped ahead of Mauritius and are now pissing on France’s supposed efforts.

    That’s handy, they can chuck a lot of overpriced rubbish at us when the BBC’s ****ing crusade, dressed up as news, to make us all wear face masks becomes evidence based policy.

    We were asked, but said 'No thanks, we've got Dyson on the case'. They didn't make anything available because we didn't ask them to. Weasel words.

    Not denied Sb. I sat listening to that NHS spokeswomen the other day who seemed disgusted by that same question. She said no one will be refused hospital if they need it. She really did press home her point as well.
