When covid hit, what little "spare" resources that were available for cancer screening etc, then became tied up with covid. Do you not even slightly realise that? Absolutely. It's not like we had a situation where NHS staff were so bored at having nothing to do in the mainly empty hospitals [with patients desperatly needing cancer screenings/treatment prevented from entering] that thousands of staff spent many hours practising dance routines to post on Tiktok, is it?

Hours practicing? Really? 😂 The ward a friend of mine works on did one, they all came in half an hour before their night shift started to practise and film it. Do you honestly believe staff were abandoning their patients to go and dance in the corridors? Edited October 9, 2021 by nikki-red Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow! I am dumbfounded. Has anybody ever made a comment so ridiculous on so many levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What an uninformed, and frankly, repugnant comment that is. If that's a reflection of you as a person you need to take a hard look at yourself.

No, they had no patients- the hospitals had been closed to most of them. Hence why a huge number of people could not access cancer and other treatments.

The rest of the wards were carrying on as normal, as full as ever. I know this for definite, I work on one 🙄.

You comments are just plain wrong and hurtful. There are carers and NHS staff who read these ill-informed and harmful comments of yours and some are struggling more than you realise. Think!

You do know that many people missed out on cancer diagnoses and cancer treatment during that time, don't you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
