Muck spreading - the air reeks tonight. Normally I don't mind as thats the sign that things are coming back to life and good weather and good times are around the corner. Just don't get that optimism from it today - its so quiet out there too.

A lot of ambulances seem to be moving about tonight in Manchester.

I am starting to think that they are too worried about existing contracts. They are obliged to use certain suppliers for anything from ventilators to testing labs and even though the demand is overwhelming those suppliers those at the top are concerned that breaking contracts could jeopardise existing and future commitments

They've been doing it all day. I live just off oxford road near the mancunian way. All I've heard all day is ambulances. It's been pretty sobering tbh.

I'm over 60 and if I could sign a donor card to allow doctors to prioritise younger people over me I'd sign it now. If I catch it, one of you youngsters can have my respirator and I'll take my chances at home. Pawning the future to save me a few years and possible Alzheimer's wouldn't be my choice but, then, as someone (the girlfriend) reminded me today, it's not all about me.

And she right.
Plus what if these younger one are the pricks party every night or mass gathering. And passion g it on to others Fk em
And you no the score pics off gf.

The military should have been deployed to monitor PHE and NHS outside of existing management structures.
The government could then identify bottlenecks and then order tactical and strategic changes to get things done.
It's never too late to improve things.
