If you want to support the NHS, read the parties' manifestos carefully at the next election and decide how important the NHS is to you, compared to other issues. If you're willing to sacrifice the NHS to secure some other goal, vote accordingly. If you think the NHS has been (literally) a life-saver and its staff are acting bravely and should be rewarded and encouraged, vote accordingly.
Got my vote - but it must be protected from become the
International Health Service. I anticipate we can just not afford that to happen

And that is what the parliamentary brexiteers have been pushing for.

A friend told me about a visit from a friend. The granddaughter used to come down for holidays with her Nana and became great friends with a similar aged child in the next road.
That child has remained close friends with my friend and is now a midwife. But sadly found her partner to be a complete and utter rat and not worthy of such a lovely young lady. So she is now living near her parents with a toddler. Good she has been able to rent a property near her family as she is doing 12 hour shifts and spends at least an hour a day travelling to and from work and changing clothes so she minimises the risk of bring home the virus. So for 5 days out of 7 she is working, travellling and sleeping barely seeing her child.
But she is not prepared to quit and stay home despite feeling terrified of getting or passing on Covid19.
And every cleaner, porter, nurse, doctor etc feels the same

Ummm, I think you two are talking at cross-purposes.......
Just because I'm paranoid, it doesn't mean they're not out to get me
