Well I'm doing my bit as a retired nurse. Volunteering to make doctors scrubs (tops and pants) out of my old sheets, I have 3 king size should should be able to sew about 4 outfits from all that lot! Hospital in Shetland put out a plea for fabric and sewers to make them - seems they just can't keep up with the demand for fresh outfits and laundering - what has this country come to anyway I'll be a bit busy for a while, wish me luck
What a brilliant idea Polyanya
It's years since I last used my sewing machine, and when I tried I couldn't get it to work. Unfortunately I don't think knitted scrubs would work.
It is shocking that stocks and stores of everything from food to hospital essentials have been allowed to get down to ridiculously low levels. There simply are no reserves, or they all come from China and this time they have needed everything they produce themselves. And there is no Planet B to import from to the Earth
I am sizzling that Boris has given the contracts for ventilators to Dyson and JCB - neither of which has made them before so will have to set up the tooling ability before they can even begin to think about producing the ventilators we need
now. But of course they are major Tory party fund donors. The contracts should have gone to those who already manufacture ventilators, and support have been given to them to ramp up production. Politics versus lives!
