This can't be a solution 😩

Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust chief executive Martin Barkley said while it was desperately trying to find PPE the temporary measures were helping to conserve supplies.

He added the trust had purchased 6,000 fluid-repellent two-piece coveralls for the mean time, which satisfied Public Health England guidance. He said: ‘We fully recognise these coveralls are not ideal: they are more uncomfortable for staff and are more laborious to take on and off. ‘However, our first priority is to keep our staff safe, and these coveralls will do so in the absence of certainty about the next delivery of long-sleeved gowns.’A delivery of 84 tonnes of PPE for frontline NHS staff did not arrive on Sunday as planned.However, an unknown delay meant the shipment, including 400,000 surgical gowns, was not received.

Coronavirus: A&E nurse unable to reassure 'sobbing' daughter 'without lying' about PPEKate said her eight-year-old daughter had begged her not to go to work, telling her: 'I don't want you to die'. You are way behind on this. Her lies have already been exposed. Maybe you should retract this propaganda. Hopefully she'll be formally disciplined for bringing the profession into disrepute. I tweeted her directly with the link to Lancashire NHS Trust who said they had so much PPE donated she could ask them....so did many others. No response....

Coronavirus: 84 tonnes of PPE arriving in UK tomorrow, says Jenrick - videoThe news comes after the government was criticised for updating guidelines to advise medical staff to reuse PPE amid a shortage in the country Another airplane full of PPE from Turkey whre they have many infected cases and no lock down. Very risky as the virus stays on surfaces pretty long time and turkey is only 3.30 hrs. Pictures or it never happened. I hope all those ppe's would be tested for the virus before NHS staff and carers touches them.
