Agree totally. My daughter works in a care home which is in lock down. They had 9 residents in quarantine, 48 residents in total. They have plastic aprons and gloves supplied, however, there are 300 face masks locked in a drawer, which the manager will not issue. They apparently have to pay for a...

...ny more if they run out !! We supplied our daughter with a mask, ( she has a weak left lung and is prone to pneumonia and pleuracy). When she went into work, some of the other staff laughed at her, but she took no notice, and continued to wear it for the rest of her 12 1/2 hour shift. The manager came in the following morning, and told her she was not allowed to wear it. This angered and upset my daughter, but she went in the following night for her shift. One of the residents coughed straight into her face when she was helping her into bed. None of the staff or residents have been tested as yet for covid 19. How disgraceful is this, when she is putting herself on the line for others.

It is contemptible. Is this in UK or Spain? Just wondering if they are as badly equipped over here as appears to be the case in UK. In UK it’s even more despicable as MPs are now being paid £10k extra for worfrom home. Outrageous!

She works in the UK. She's normally a tough cookie, but this has her in bits and in tears all the time. She is a single mum, and her children are 11 and 8. She has to come home to her kids after her shift, but worries something may be passed onto them. She has good support from from her children'...

...s dad, and us, and we are all in regular contact with each other. I am used to being the one that makes everything alright for all 3 of my kids, even though they are 20, 34 and 36. I've contacted our mp and she is going to lobby parliament, as she is appauled by our situation. L

This is the most terrible situation I have read about, staff who have health situations should be on furlough, to tell her she cant wear a mask in that situation is a disgrace! I pray she has the courage to keep challenging her workplace if she is unable to stop work, hopefully someone will devel...
