Agree @Hostafan1 ... given that their reporters have gone into some pretty risky places in the past ... Salisbury springs to mind .., they probably have a stash of PPE stuff in a cupboard somewhere for just such an eventuality, never dreaming that the NHS would’ve been kept so strapped for cash over recent years that their stocks have run down and they’re having to bid on a global market for new supplies ... especially as we managed to avoid taking advantage of a bulk buying opportunity when it was offered by the EU.
Having discovered that the NHS doesn’t have the PPE needed to keep the heroic workers safe, the BBC have given them what they have. What’s to gripe about?

Just so's you know, France and Belgium are having similar difficulties getting PPE equipment of the right kind to the relevant staff in the health service and care homes and elsewhere.
On the other hand, the SM I use has been very quick to protect its staff with screens at counters and distancing. Why can't London transport do the same for its drivers?

As someone who worked on intensive care my whole career, I thought it was a great film, the general public know so little about what goes on there, that a thoughtful film like that can only help.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
First, my own stance: I'd rather watch paint dry than watch football, and I do get p'd off when my regular TV favourites are shoved aside for a once-in-a-while sporting event.
But I'd say two things about highly-paid footballers: an earlier post referred to them "finding out what life is like in the real world", or words to that effect. I think most of them come from working class backgrounds. Also, we have no way of knowing how much they contribute to charity or works of public value: not everyone needs a fanfare of publicity around their good works.

Well that's good enough for me.
Ditto 👍

Many of them have it written in their contracts that they have to do six hours a week of community involvement.
