As the coronavirus scourge bites harder in Britain, retired doctors and nurses have been drafted to help contain the pandemic.
Just last week two young health workers had died due to over exposure to covid-19 patients.
Two nurses die after contracting coronavirus, and it has emerged that nurses and frontline health workers are being offered grief counselling and psychological support, with the loss of more NHS lives anticipated.
Areema Nasreen, a 36-year-old NHS nurse from Walsall in the West Midlands, who was believed to have had no underlying health issues, died shortly after midnight on Thursday in intensive care at Walsall Manor hospital, where she had worked for 16 years.
Tributes were also paid to another NHS nurse, named locally as mother of three Aimee O’Rourke, who is is believed to have contracted the virus before she died. She was described as “a wonderful friend and colleague” to those who worked with her at the Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother hospital in Margate, Kent.
To further help to fight the scourge, retired health personnel have been drafted to support health workers on ground.
It became apparent last Saturday that the shortage of medical personnel in Britain would lead to more deaths as this development necessitated the deployment of retired medical experts.
A medical expert(name withheld) privy to this development told TNG that most medical personnel due for retirement have started giving their retirement notice to avoid the pandemic.
“Those of us still active are just praying for God’s grace because there are no enough protective kits to go round those of us on duty.
“By next week we are expected to resume by 7am and close by 7pm on a daily basis and we do not have enough manpower to man these hospitals.
Barley two weeks ago the British had converted the ExCel centre to a hospital with a massive morgue to enable it further contain the virus.
