'Like many in the NHS just now, I keep my head by looking down — at one patient and then another. I am lucky in this respect: I have focus. Sometimes I fret that most people don’t know how very close the NHS came to being overwhelmed this Easter — how we avoided the hellishness of Lombardy or New York City only by superhuman efforts. I fear, too, that most people are unaware of how exhausted, stunned — shellshocked, even — some NHS staff and care workers are. How daunted we feel as we watch lockdown being relaxed before proper testing, tracing and isolation infrastructure are in place. How incredulous we are as we see government figures breaking the rules they wrote, that so many others have lived and died by.'

Good article, thanks for linking.

Again, that brings the reality home. The human side of this and an individual treating another, rather than just reading numbers being thrown around.

Unjust way to go and as far from a natural end as can be imagined.

Ipswich hospital has coped admirably according to my daughter. What she did notice though was, she makes the medicine for chemo, that cancer patients weren't coming to the hospital because of the fears of corona virus. What a choice eh. I can't imagine how bad that must be to have to decide which is more important . Thankfully it is starting to get back to normal.

There's been the odd negative post on Badger's stickied reviews covering some of his and his colleagues' shifts and their experiences.

Stuff with sensitive content and some moron thinks it's the ideal opportunity to take a pop.

I dunno what the heck is wrong with some people.

I think everyone who has left their homes to ensure I can buy food, drink, diesel and the odd Chinese takeaway is a hero facing the unseen enemy.

Then there public services from transport to healthcare and many things in between.

Most true heroes are just doing their job... It's just the circumstances confer hero status...

If you don't want hyperbole... Just understand your service is appreciated
