PPE - Where is it?
I found it hard to write the words for this post. The nightmare of working in a pandemic, without PPE and worrying about bringing the Covid-19 virus back to your family is incomprehensible.
Deepest respect and gratitude to all medical staff, care workers and key workers.
I can’t find the words, so I have tried to represent this post through images.
