'Critical incident' at UK hospital

A London hospital has confirmed a "critical incident" due to a surge in COVID-19 cases.

Northwick Park hospital in Harrow said its critical care unit has hit capacity due to the number of cases.

The northwest hospital has contacted neighbouring facilities to ask for help dealing with patients.

Yes, I can see why the headline could be misinterpreted. The good news, as I say, is that there are plenty who are not in the at-risk group.

Of course it remains to be seen how many can be mobilised and there may be some red tape issues to overcome. Still, it’s a very positive move.

You could well be right, Karen. Almost by definition, there’s empathy and a strong sense of duty among nurses and doctors. I expect some of those who respond positively will do it despite it being an unwelcome intrusion.
