Re: What makes a hero
Brian , maybe the safety officer intelligentsia hasn’t reached the hospitals yet. Or do they have to sign a waiver before entering and examining a patient. Maybe they are relying on the old saying Doctor heal thyself. Is on a par of sending an advancing army into battle unarmed. Cheers JS

Re: What makes a hero
From comments by our niece and her husband, both senior hospital employees there has been a very severe shortage of gowns and masks.
Little wonder with the numbers falling down just now.
Happy daze John in Oz.
