NHS volunteers needed

[Badger-Roy]

At the risk of falling out...
This evening I had an old customer, who is a GP in Bath, call me and ask is I had any face masks she could have because the NHS can't provide them.
2 weeks ago I was working for an MIU nurse in Chippenham who said they have to work in pairs when seeing suspected Covid19 cases but only have protective suits for 1 person at a time.
There is only 1 reason why this is happening and it's 100% political.
Volunteering is a wonderful thing but let's not forget why there is a need for it the next time we vote.
People either support the NHS or vote Tory. One cannot do both.

Are those little blue buggers at fault for every country having PPE shortages as well!
A pandemic being 100% political, how does that work exactly,? I thought it was a virus?
As for your old customer asking you for face masks you should ask her to ring around other surgery’s as my local doctors are providing face masks to anyone entering the surgery (against WHOs advice) which tells me they at least have plenty.
The reality of the current situation is NO-ONE could have seen this pandemic coming and if any government (blue or red) had spent billions on the thousands of ventilators, PPE and other equipment that is currently needed just to put in storage on the of small chance it may be needed then the public would have whinged and moaned about the wasted public money as all these things have limited shelf life’s, should they have a huge store of boats in case of mass flooding or others things for worldwide disasters that are very unlikely but may happen in the future?
Oh and yes one can vote Tory AND support the NHS and I’m extremely proud do say I do so.

Dunno mate but sick of people trying to turn a **** situation into a soapbox to scream politics from. All I was trying to do was raise awareness and get volunteers. Last time I do.
