Inadequate PPE and a new variant may be putting the lives of nurses at risk, says nursing union.

Nurses are calling for all UK staff to be given a higher grade of face mask to protect them against new variants of coronavirus.

But the RCN says they may not protect them against the new variant of the virus, and very small airborne viral particles spread in hospitals. "It must stop dragging its feet on this issue. Nursing staff need to have full confidence that they are protected." A spokesman from the Department of Health and Social Care in England said the safety of NHS and social care staff was "top priority" but the current guidance did not need changing.

Maybe pfizer will reply to you if you ask the question, being a respectable news outlet, for they have been ignoring us. All we need to know is how long can the vaccine in the vial be effective outside the minus 70 degrees temp? Thanks

Medical grade masks are not just essential but critically important.

I’ve said from the very beginning those masks aren’t sufficient to stop this virus ! You need proper protection ones that don’t let contamination in !

Now that we’re not counting flu deaths this season can we take the average number of flu deaths each day and deduct them from Covid deaths? This way we get a true number of excess deaths.

So masks don't work unless they're special. Pray for everyone on the frontline in hospitals, care homes etc because they were exposed to it more than others. Maybe not deliberately.

Stop breathing that will help a lot
