Too many healthcare professionals are now having to isolate due to experiencing symptoms of the virus. Stretching the NHS further. Nurses and doctors will die from this if no action is taken.What will the goverment do if frontline staff choose to isolate.The solution is to supply appropriate protective equipment so we are not putting our own lives and our families lives at risk.Looking at other countries protective equipment we stand no chance.The basic ppe we use is not suitable to protect us.
