Richard Horton Coronavirus epidemic is a national scandal

Honestly, sorry to say this, but it’s a national scandal. We shouldn’t be in this position.
We knew in the last week of January that this was coming. The message from China was absolutely clear that a new virus with pandemic potential was hitting cities. People were being admitted to hospital, admitted to intensive care units and dying and the mortality was growing.
We knew that 11 weeks ago and then we wasted February when we could have acted. Time when we could have ramped up testing, time when we could have got personal protective equipment ready and disseminated. We didn’t do it
I’m hearing that not just personal protective equipment is not available, it’s the wrong kind of personal protective equipment. What we have isn’t even WHO standard.
We’re putting our health workers who we’ve just all clapped here in the front line without the armour they need to defend themselves. They’re wearing surgical masks which are not WHO standard, they’re wearing thin plastic aprons which are not standard and they’re wearing rubber gloves which only cover their wrists exposing their arms to danger, jeopardy.
That is nothing short of a national scandal. How could we allow this to happen? The hypocrisy of clapping NHS workers and yet the government not supporting them to go into that front line is tragic and it was preventable.
尋找「閃光點」，努力不懈，堅毅不屈，機會總是留給有準備的人。但是，有準備不一定能找緊機會，因為....命運就是這樣的敲門。要找緊機會，就要戰勝自己和戰勝命運。
遇到逆境，堅持，不要放棄。黑暗是可怕的，極難耐的.....但是，渡過了黑暗，不就是黎明了嗎 ?!
