As someone who works in critical care, I think some in senior management Health Boards have not been as on the ball as they could have been. However, our local response now has been pretty good. I think of we'd started what we did two weeks ago, a month ago, we could have been even better prepared, but I think we're pretty much there now. We're training and attempting to simulate scenarios. We have redeployed staff, reconfigured wards and sourced equipment.

We seem to have adequate stocks of PPE currently. I would point out that PPE shouldn't be described as "full" or "partial" as this isn't very helpful. It needs to be described by the exposure risk: i.e. contact, droplet or airborne. The majority of exposure will not be airborne, unless an aerosolising procedure is being performed. Hence the current WHO, UK and Scottish guidance says surgical mask, apron, eye protection and gloves are adequate. FFP3 masks and waterproof gowns are not necessary, if e.g. examining a patient.

I don't think any country has anticipated such a worldwide crisis. Most planing has been based on local outbreaks and therefore no stockpiles of PPE existed, as it was assumed that this could be sourced out with the outbreak area.

Huh, an actual balanced view.

The SG really could murder infants live on TV and you'd still be cheerleading. 

Jeane Freeman is a fucking idiot which doesn't help here. That doesnt mean she's any worse than that chubby simpleton Hancock. 

The SNP could be doing a lot better on health, even with the constraint of being tied to this dead union. 

Either you back this up with an incontrovertible and objective appraisal or risk having the mark of Malky as a stain upon you.

Despite the very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very best efforts of the pathetic Unionist press to sow the seeds of discord......the SNP are still on track to record a huge win in next year's Scottish elections.

That must be a huge kick in the nads for those desperate to find the silver bullet will slay the independence cause, and were banking on the Salmond trial being it. 

Lol. f**k them.

Oil price is at record low, good job we voted no, otherwise we would have been screwed right now.  Unless you think Sturgeon would have given us 80% of wages?

Why couldn't an independent Scotland afford an equivalent bailout ? 8% of 330bn is 26bn. It's not some mental unachievable number unless you live in unionist Fantasyland.

We’re lucky that the UK, out of selfless charity, wants to keep control of a reckless basket-case shitehole like the cringing and leeching region of (unionist) Scotland. We should all be on our knees thanking our glorious masters.

Out of one of these I hope, and be quick about it. You’ve still to sign the petition to have Glasgow’s “Louisa Jordan” temporary hospital renamed something neutral, like “John Bull’s Great British Winston Churchill Red Telephone Box Rule Britannia 1690 1966 God Save the Roast Beef of Old England Me Old China Memorial Hospital (Glasgow)”.
