Health Worker\u2019s Comments on the Covid-19 Crisis<\/h1>\n

Commentary \u2013 April 21, 2020<\/h2>\n

These comments from nurses and health care professionals reveal that all is not quite what it seems with coronavirus. If nothing else they call into question the media\u2019s portrayal of the crisis.<\/h5>\n
We simply copied the first few comments in a string of over one thousand comments. We leave readers to decide for themselves\u2019 what is really going on. Ed.<\/h5>\n

London hospital.<\/span>
\nHalf empty. Some wards have less than a handful of patients, some wards are closed. Most staff have been moved to wards so are falling over selves. While their regular work goes undone.<\/span>
\nA&E very quiet. I\u2019ve sent patients there who are seen immediately. The heart attacks, strokes and appendicitis cases are presenting too late. People with covid are waiting too long to present. If you get breathless then for goodness sake come in. I\u2019m so cross at the initial advice to stay home until struggling.<\/span>
\nHad a look through covid ward lists and vast majority patients are aged over 70. Hardly any patients under 60, those who are have underlying health problems for the most part. Lots more men than women affected.<\/span>
\nIt\u2019s just a snapshot but echoed by colleagues in other hospitals.<\/span>
\nI think we can \/ should start to move back to normal life soon for the well young people among us. I fear for the short and longer term economic hit. It\u2019s crazy to have all these young well people furloughed or made redundant.<\/span><\/p>\n

Same. Our patients are being denied their regular treatments and interventions so we can all twiddle our thumbs and wait<\/span><\/p>\n

Dh (hospital consultant) is saying the same about where he works – it\u2019s driving him mad! Empty wards, lots of staff, and so many important procedures \/operations \/ treatments cancelled. God knows how they are ever going to catch up!<\/span><\/p>\n

I was thinking this, work really quiet. Everyone busying themselves doing nonsense jobs whilst the world claps for us and we ate millions of donated food. Disclaimer: my ward is like this not all nurses<\/span><\/p>\n

Agree, I’m very concerned about the long term morbidity and mortality due to delayed\/missed diagnoses…<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m glad we\u2019ve coped with it but for goodness sake let us return to some normal business now. There won\u2019t be any money to pay for the NHS if this carries on much longer.<\/span><\/p>\n

Exactly the same here! I’m an AHP and we’re just waiting to see if the rehab phase is any busier<\/span><\/p>\n

Hi<\/span><\/p>\n

I’m relieved to hear it frankly. How do you reconcile that with the threads saying they’re at capacity & the threads saying they couldn’t get an ambulance to come out to them, that they were told not to call back until their lips were blue and they couldn’t say two words??<\/span><\/p>\n

Not disputing what you say and I guess all hospitals are different, but it’s very difficult to get a feel for what it’s really like in general!<\/span><\/p>\n

I’m SE.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is shocking to hear as the news reporters are not talking about this at all!<\/span><\/p>\n

Are there regional variations?<\/span><\/p>\n

Couldn\u2019t agree more OP.<\/span><\/p>\n

When the economy crashes who will be left to fund the NHS?<\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s get the country back to work – those that need to can self isolate can; the trouble is, politicians aren\u2019t businesspeople, they\u2019re like teenagers who just want to be popular.<\/span><\/p>\n

My fear is that the gov will agree to an endless lockdown because they\u2019ve scared everyone so much they\u2019re too terrified to ever leave the house.<\/span><\/p>\n

Interesting and also frustrating for those awaiting non covid related yet critical treatments for other conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n

I can only speak for my hospital but colleagues in London all saying the same. It feels like a massive overreaction. I\u2019m sure we\u2019ll get other waves of infection but if testing and tracing ramped up and the elderly to social distance until treatment agreed (if not a vaccine) then we should be able to get people back to a sense of normality now really. If we get quick turnaround testing we can work towards covid positive \/ covid negative hospitals.<\/span><\/p>\n
