While that may be true in mainland Europe, I've not seen any credible reports or evidence of a high infection rate among UK medical staff, has anyone?

On an even more positive note it does sound like infections are slowing in China which should be good news after only three months.

The thrust of the article was that Chine underestimated the effect on medical staff and did not do enough to protect them in the early stages. Britain according to Johnson is two weeks behind Europe (The infection) so these are the early stages and there does appear to be multiple press reports of protective clothing shortages.
I am only reporting what I read.

My local GP is refusing to see any patient citing Covid19 risk! Yes, you are right, not many infections in UK medical staff because some of them decided to self-isolate themselves and hence not turning up to treat patients.

Then you should know by now that the media you are reading from are far more concerned about sensationalising a non-event than they are about telling the truth.
Social media here has numerous stories from those on the front line, many saying they don't have those problems.

The Italians are certainly upset with their European friends. Seems as unity only extends so far.

I have a P3 mask and it’s tough wearing it when properly fitted. It’s much easier to breathe with the mask a bit loose so I am breathing through the leaks rather than the filter!  Even so, it provides some protection. 

I am off to hospital in a few minutes for a blood test that’s important. I’ll wear the mask pretty tight whilst in the hospital, plus gloves. I’ll walk there and back, to avoid public transport.

If there is any gap at all in the mask you may as well just take it off. Viruses are microscopic and it doesn't take much to infect someone. Without formal fit testing you have no idea if it will work for you anyway - plenty of NHS staff fail the fit testing well before the 8 mins that it is supposed to last for. The gloves are actually the most useful form of protection that you have got, and our consultant microbiologist seems far more bothered about touching surfaces than he does about being in a ward with COVID patients.

It’s Sunday. A good day for house viewing.
In most of Europe that will not happen but in England I imagine the Mother’s Day gatherings will reduce the number of houses for sale visited.

Must be questioned.Change of party officials coincided with flattening of curve.
