He is indeed mate.

A good friend of mine is finally able to now have some spare time to spend with his family after a very intense 4 months on the Covid wards, he said that at it's peak it was 50/50 as to whether they could treat and cope with patients, he said it has aged him and he is mentally and physically drained...I guess the 1.5% pay rise offered by the Government will help ease the burden then!! Disgraceful and disrespectful springs to mind.

Thanks for that. I'll be humble though, beside volunteering to administer vaccinations and helping out with the research and data, I don't have any real contact with covid patients. The nurses having close contact with em are the real heroes of this crisis.

I know things have really flared up in France and most of Europe, I wish you the best of luck and sincerely hope the bastard disease is brought under control as soon as possible. When you do get a chance to return to LOS I think you will have definitely earned a bit of quality Mongering...respect!

While younger people do die, they remain outliers even now. Everywhere I read newspapers, they are pushing the fact that young people die and get seriously ill to the point where there is the sentiment that this is common. It still isn't. The median age of people in the ICU is however decreasing. In my hospital the youngest person in the ICU is 47, out of 68 ICU beds that are all occupied. Even non vaccinated, I would worry a lot more about traffic than about covid in the LOS.
