[quote][i]Originally posted by gavin18787[/i] [quote][i]Originally posted by SetH[/i] [quote][i]Originally posted by gavin18787[/i] Agree with Ian I quite like looking back at relevant topics to see what was going on at the time with people's opinions etc. Unfortunately as said unless it happens to pick up under Facebook memories there is no easy way to come accross the again on Facebook. I don't buy any of the conspiracy theories floating around online but I do enjoy reading them :lol: would be very interesting if they can trace back the origional source and patient zero though. How the world pans out when this is over will be very interesting too in terms of economy and world relations. I see Iran is already pointing fingers at the USA :| I have worked for the NHS for over 12 years now at our local hospital and have never seen anything remotely close to this. Occasionally we run through contingency plans for a local serious event or simular. However they always revolve around something like a terror attack or simular with a known outcome/treatment plan. Biggest problem with this current pandemic is the unknown. All we can do is treat symptoms and have a rolling plan based on incoming data. Every day last week you can see a marked change in what was coming through the front doors. I am not at work this weekend and fully expect chaos tomorrow as everything was put in place Friday with the thinking shit will hit the fan from this weekend. Eye opening on a personal level on Friday as I was covering the ward we have set up for covid positive patients that are end of life that are getting no treatment. Not a nice thing to see and possibly just as bad for the relatives stuck away and unable to see them :-( This is the kind of thing you want to get across to the few still not taking this seriously enough. [/quote] Thank you for sharing, it's good to get information from someone on the front lines rather then relying on what Sky News and the BBC are broadcasting. I won't go into that here but some of the reporting by Sky News is questionable IMHO. One of my friends partner is a Nurse and he said that she has been doing 14 hour shifts, sweating her arse off in a hazmat suit. Although at the University hospital in Norwich I heard there were only 5 cases, probably gone up now. There are rumours all over social media that most hospitals are not any busier than a Saturday night right now. I have no idea if there is any truth in that. There was a video on you tube of a german journalist that went to a hospital that was meant to be 'teeming with Covid-19 patients' but when he arrived no one was there. Also on the same video there were esteemed German doctors and specialists debunking the official narrative. I did not get to see this Video as it was deleted by the elite controlled powers of You Tube. Again no idea if there was any truth in this but with current trends on You Tube the fact it was deleted is a huge red flag to me. Anything you are able to share (that's if you are permitted, or even want to) would be appreciated as its hard to discern facts from hysteria and/or fake news right now. [/quote] If you was to walk into our hospital now you would think this as it looks like a ghost town. Car park, corridors etc all empty and out patients closed. This is only because all non essential stuff is closed and staff have been redeployed. Visiting also completely banned. Critical areas and a+e as busy as ever. Half the hospital is in the process of been converted ready to accept COVID patients. New equipment, plumbed oxygen and drug supplies etc. Quite a few empty beds at present but this won't last. Some also ear marked for London patients as they are full now from what I have heard. However this crisis has highlighted how abused the NHS system is. All the usual repeat offenders etc have been no where to be seen as of late... [/quote]
