Re: PPE's
[QUOTE=Dodge;1892120]Even if the governments emergency PPE stockpile was at the high levels it used to be, it would still not have been sufficient for a full on pandemic lasting months. It has been stated by 'those in the know' that many of today's PPE has a shelf life due to the fact that some of the materials used to make PPE degrades over a long period of time.
Now just how is it going to appear to the public if some whistleblower said that the government is spending upwards of £20-30 million a year to replace stock piles of PPE for that 'just in case' scenario of the country facing a pandemic. Opposition party leaders and their MP's would go on the warpath, claiming the government is wasting money which could be better spent on other things because the chances of a pandemic are very slim. The media would also do the same, the purpose of shaming the government in wasting money on replenishing stocks of medical supplies for an event that is not likely to happen.
If the government kept stocks high they would be accused of wasting public money for something that was never likely to happen. If they kept stocks at a more manageable level then they would get accused of not keeping their eye on the ball. Funny how that actual scenario
As l have posted before dodge, surely the government is not directly
involved in ordering and procuring medical requirements for the
NHS? Dont they have a civil service for this, and what are the NHS
Trusts for if not for these tasks??
Politics should never have become involved in healthcare imo
And what about my point about going back to the old system of
cotton workware for nurses etc in tandem with in house laundry?
This does away with the need to throw away and constantly
reprovide the garments as at present?
This system used to work ok?
You also state that the risks of a pandemic are very small, but
they grow every year due to the excessive use of rapid transit
systems for the massess?
I think the world has a lot of rethinking to do in more ways than one!
Donkeyman! 🤔🤔🤔
