Roseberry Park hospital is right next to The James Cook University hospital, I’ve delivered to both but not since Xmas.
When we had our coronavirus debrief off Amazon a few drivers expressed concern about delivering to TJCU hospital as they said they had to walk past a coronavirus isolation ward to get to the Amazon locker in the staff corridor.

Coronavirus latest: Two patients die at mental health trust in the North-East
TWO patients have died under the care of a mental health trust after they tested positive for coronavirus.www.thenorthernecho.co.uk
a couple of questions have been asked (to which I don’t know the answer)
were these patients moved to an ICU?
were these patients ‘informal’ (ie voluntary) or ‘formal’ (ie detained)?

It's a bit different as you would know whether you had a bomb or not. This idiot could have had the virus without knowing it.

Tick tock.
She has just been taken into hospital with severe breathing difficulties. This is exactly 1 month after onset of symptoms. She never got her test result - was one of the very last swabs taken just as they stopped community testing and it seems it got binned - medics are pretty sure she has it on clinical presentation though. She's been having difficulty breathing for at least 4 weeks, but has gone downhill in the past few days after it seemed the worst had passed. Fingers crossed.

Not really. If I'd been the government I would have done exactly the same thing with the tests - the main thing I would have done differently would be not to let anyone make stupid comments about how quickly such tests could be available.
Validating such tests was always going to be an important part of the process, and one where many of the tests would not have been expected to live up to the claims of the manufacturers. Partly because the manufacturers dont have as much available to actually do full and thorough testing evaluation with.
Would I have purchased over 17 million tests of various sorts if I thought there was a chance they wouldnt work? No, I wouldnt want to waste that money or have a warehouse full of useless stuff. But I doubt thats what the government did, they probably signed contracts for those quantities but only on the basis that they passed validation. If they dont pass then the contract should have get-out clauses for that.

These sorts of masks are fast becoming the new normal in countries that are planning ways to slightly relax their lockdowns.
The UK seems especially resistant to the idea. I will be interested to see whether this attitude persists.

I haven’t seen anyone wear a mask sanctimoniously.
Then you haven't been to my local supermarket. There's a huge misunderstanding in the general public that they're protecting themselves. They're not.

They buy quinoa, vegan bacon, and oat milk.
The WHO has advised people not to wear them. I can see it's a natural human reaction to want to wear them but the cynic in me suggests most people are wearing them to protect themselves, not others. They're not protecting themselves, in fact putting themselves more at risk.

There is a 'false sense of security' argument against masks but it gets mixed up with all the humbug reasons not to support mask wearing in this country. So I will keep an open mind about how masks and the attitudes around them may evolve.
