Boris Johnson moved to intensive care after condition worsens.

If that where you get your kicks, enjoy.

No, I get no kicks from tragedies but I'm old enough to know that they sell newspapers. You are obviously too young.

[Jimgward]

Can you start provide citations for your claims, because otherwise it is idle gossip.

It is well published. Yesterday, many health professionals released a report with signatories to back this up. So, not ideal gossip, When everyone else starts proving everything they comment on, then it becomes tedious. I thought everyone knew there was a lack of PPE - a serious lack.

Can you start provide citations for your claims, because otherwise it is idle gossip.

It's worse than idol gossip, it's politically motivated sh+t stirring!

Nonsense, its fact.

[Jimgward]

Why you ask Devil, it doesn't take a genius to see that the reporter should not be there, visiting is forbidden, and the protective clothing should go to a medical professional who needs it. Many are going without.

Who says the public adores seeing blood and stricken PMs, YOU ! If that where you get your kicks, enjoy.

The health places WANT the reporting, to highlight the seriousness, the lack of PPE, the conditions people are working in and more. Do you think Ms BBC can just waltz up and walk into a busy COVID ward? Get real.

Oh get over yourself. You were only asked to provide some citations, which you have now done so. Thank you. This stories may be well documented in Britain, but they aren't in the Cypriot press.

[Firefly]

Thank you Dev, at last a compliment from you, too young.

I was referring to a report on TV, not in the papers by the way, so that reference is irrelevant.

Anyway, as I know you love to have a pop at anything I post, I will leave it there, have a nice day.

Why are you becoming more insulting in moderating here?

[Dominic]

How was my comment any more insulting than "For the politically blinded"?

Polite posts get met with polite moderation.

[Jimgward]

My post was to someone who accused me of “ politically motivated sh+t stirring!”

I hadn’t said anything insulting to you!

[Dominic]

Ah ok, fair enough. In that case I am sorry, there is no need to get over yourself. You were merely fighting fire with fire.

[mike strand2]

Can the post headline be updated, as at first read it's alarming.

[Dominic]

No. It is old news now anyway. Nobody is left to be alarmed, as anybody who cares will have heard about this already in the last three days.

[Jimgward]

Ah ok, fair enough. In that case I am sorry, there is no need to get over yourself. You were merely fighting fire with fire.

Thank you - and best wishes!

Coronavirus: Doctor who warned prime minister about PPE dies with COVID-19
In March he urged the PM to "urgently" ensure personal protective equipment for "each and every NHS worker in the UK".

A doctor diagnosed with coronavirus has died - three weeks after he warned the prime minister health workers urgently need more PPE.

Abdul Mabud Chowdhury,53, passed away after 15 days in hospital with COVID-19.

On 18 March he wrote a message to Boris Johnson asking him to "urgently" ensure personal protective equipment for "each and every NHS worker in the UK".

He told the prime minister that healthcare workers "are in direct contact with patients" and have a "human right like others to live in this world disease-free with our family and children".

Dr Chowdhury was a locum urologist who worked at Homerton Hospital in East London and died on Wednesday at Queen's Hospital in Romford after testing positive for coronavirus.

Locking this now as he is now out of Intensive Care.
