Here's Ralph's take on the UK's P.P.E. scandal. This concerns the lack of safety equipment i.e. "Masks and Gowns" for Uk's medical staff, and care workers.

Surely the NHS simply has the money to stock pile PPEs which would have cost them millions. The Government should have everything in place to cover the crisis. Indeed, it seems that did have, until they decided to withdraw funds. It's not as though we didn't know a nasty virus was coming. We've been warned for years.

The first line of my previous post should have read.
"Surely the NHS simply hasn't got the money to stock pile PPEs which would have cost them millions".
