Hoping its a glitch but very close to going through to the next escalation area as capacity increases and as I said biggest one day death toll I've seen. Hope for the Berkshire area that's our hiatus as it's been tough for everyone on the unit. Add in the numbers for tonights shift not looking good and not my best day in the NHS

Cheers. From a personal perspective I sometimes feel my role is irrelevant when you see the hours and the effort all of the nursing staff and doctors are putting in, working the long hours in hard conditions with all the PPE and now the increasing heat. Think they found today hard with the patients arriving and then the deaths as well. Even in death corona is making life hard and there are now strict rules regarding the way they prepare the body for the porters to pick up to take to the morgue. Thanks for the thumbs up though. Much appreciated. As I said hoping today was a glitch and we're peaking out

Was called in for a Skype meeting 40 min ago with head of our department, director and HR and was asked to take furlough until 31st May. 2 weeks or so would’ve been one thing, but this long.

Doesn’t feel good at all tbh. Some may know that I’ve had some issues in the past at work, but still feel a bit down and lots of thoughts running in my head.

If you need to chat, you’ve got my number mate

Dominic needs to stop saying "is that ok or do you want to come back?". Makes him look weak. Answer and move to the next reporter.

Ministers were being accused of stonewalling or answering a different question to that being asked with no opportunity for the questioner to do a follow up - so they changed things about a week ago I think. Better now.

So your saying that the patients in figures given at a national press conference are wrong.

I think it’s that figures presented for any single day may be compiled from numbers over a span of days, due to delays due to reporting centrally or through verification delays. From one day to the next the comparisons may not be on a like for like basis, and so we have to be careful drawing conclusions on trends from a few days numbers...I think the Scottish FM may have said something about that today or maybe yesterday.

Accused by who, I've watched them all and they are continued to be asked the same questions that have been answered. Just because they don't like the answer doesn't mean it wasn't dealt with.

What are these?

Are you volunteers for certain NHS things? If so, what range of things does it cover?

Number of things you can volunteer for bit of a hold on things at the moment as they have to check volunteers out. I got cleared at the weekend possibly as I'm CRB checked but not a necessity.
