Almost all the protective gear is plastic and designed to be thrown away. Why isn't Extinction Rebellion gluing itself to hospitals and that foetus-faced nit Matt Hancock?
Here is a fact to take note of from my Masters Degree (perhaps the only one!). There is very little difference between the success rate of EXPERTS making decisions and the rest of the population. AND more information doesn't always lead to more accurate predictions.
I've said this before, anything else we talk about gets FULL, but we insist the NHS is overwhelmed as though its capacity is unlimited, but due to circumstance it is currently unable to cope. TRUTH is if we let the virus run its course everyone, everything and everywhere in the NHS will be working to capacity and beyond to the point where they can no longer survive. At that point the NHS is certainly full. That is as big as it is. It is overflowing and should have declared itself FULL earlier.
If the NHS is full, the people have to survive or not by their own means and obey or disobey any rules regulating that. The NHS is not the TARDIS, ask The Doctor, or any doctor. It has a size. We dictated it by allowing investment to be at a particular level. We could have scrapped Trident, we could forget HS2, we could have left Iraq alone, we could have invested all the magic money-tree money that now has apparently been available all along because all government money is debt anyway. We didn't. We acquiesced. If we continue to acquiesce the lockdown could become the go-to response for everything. At some point we have to embrace death, those nearing it and those affected by loss. The alternative is to live in a media-generated world in which everything that happens is a tragedy and our every next breath is coloured by fear. Some of us die. They tend to look like me.
