PPE

On the frontlines, compared to other developed nations, our supplies are merely ‘adequate', ‘appropriate'.

Sanitiser disappearing from hospitals.

Masks stolen from staff who will need to breathe virus laden air time and time again.

NHS Providers says that more is being delivered, that we’re ‘catastrophising’ that things will all be dreadful, declining to comment on what exact local distribution problems there are preventing us from getting what we need.

But tell me this.

What is more catastrophic than the thought that you are doing all you can, when the family you cannot isolate from remains at risk?

Would it be right to strike, to save those you love and many more by placing pressure where it’s needed, but depriving those who across the bay from you, chest tight, burning up?

Left bare by a starved system, these are the calls we have to make.
