It’s early days yet. Some reported cases in Scotland. People down south is getting worried. Staff here in A&E are demanding face masks, although there is no reported case in my city.
One day the infection control nurse found a junior doctor whose scrub pockets are bulging to the brim. When asked what they are: it turned out to be pocketfuls of facemasks that he was trying to smuggle out of hospital for himself and his family. Embarrassingly has to be told to empty his pocket or face charges of theft.
Wonder how many doctors have already sneaked out lots of surgical masks unnoticed; well not until the theatre suddenly found that they are running out of masks…
