Nurses have been pictured wearing clinical waste bags on their heads and feet at an NHS hospital that has been overwhelmed by coronavirus.

Northwick Park hospital, in Harrow, London, declared an emergency situation on Thursday after all of its critical care beds were filled with patients.
It took 24 hours for the hospital to stand down - after hurriedly transferring patients to nearby hospitals - but desperate nurses have issued an urgent plea for proper masks, gowns and gloves amid fears of an inadequate supply.

The hospital has reported six deaths due to COVID-19, and has dozens of patients in intensive care.
Shocking photos of exhausted nurses wearing yellow-coloured waste bags on their head at Northwick hospital have been shared on social media.

'We are so disheartened with what we face day by day, night by night,' read the caption.

'Improvising PPEs (Personal Protective Equipment) to at least try to protect us from our infectious patients, buying our own wellington boots that is said to be re-imbursed. This is how our prime minister says that we are stockpiling PPEs!

'We have to stay brave for our colleagues who are off sick, families and our patients. It just made us cry inside but we show brave and smiling faces to everyone.'

If this happens in Nigeria, Buhari and his entire family will not sleep that night. Different spell from different part of the country will leave them with horrible dreams that will keep them awake.

The saying,"Prevention is better than cure,'' explains it all.

I just love seeing people applying wisdom to what they do.

Many would say lots of thing about them but just know that being in that B Bag would give a little control on impulse; like dipping the hand into the nose, scratching the eye, touching the lips, and also wanting to get stoked food particles in your teeth.

I hope by now many Nigerians have changed their ways of reasoning about the virus. Some say," it can not enter Nigeria", others say," our politicians want to loot. ''

There is one thing I want people to always do: stay protected.

All thanks to the FG, state governors, NCDC, and other bodies who have contributed and dedicated themselves to make sure the virus[COVID_19] doesn't spread throughout the whole country, a very big applaud to them all.

We shall keep protecting our tomorrow today.

We know they have tried their best, the British government has also tried it's best and is still trying.

One good thing about this COVID shit is that there's no traveling abroad for treatment, all of us are in it together. God na your hands we dey Sha.
