Hello @Matthancock
Since you seem to think NHS staff are wasting PPE, let me introduce you to the official guidelines. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/wuhan-novel-coronavirus-infection-prevention-and-control/covid-19-personal-protective-equipment-ppe

We’re going to take a quick example: gloves and aprons.

Please note: This is a protection for the patients, not the staff.
There are currently 78991 patients tested positive = in hospital as this is the only way to get tested.
Let’s take a 25 patients ward. Let’s make it 4 visits each on a 12 hour shift = 100 gloves x 6 nurses https://twitter.com/stilldelvingh/status/1248771170717048833

Just that -that’s 2m. Then add the doctors. Add the ICUs where 1 nurse is needed for two patient / 1 for each requiring a ventilator. And that’s just for hospitals. Not including care workers, not including suspected cases. You want to do the maths do the maths @matthancock.

Now @matthancock you may have see this video about what Chinese-style PPE look like
Kind of topping surgical mask/apron/short gloves.

Something to consider when dealing with a very infectious disease that can be deadly.

Don’t let this be framed as a govt/opposition debate.
It’s about the govt providing what it itself deemed necessary.
Let’s talk numbers.
