Bananabixfloof we should do an organised one. The equivalent of the clap. 
I have a serious question, I only feel comfortable asking here, if that's OK. Just watching GMB and they are talking about the ONS figures and talking about the large amount of people dying, not related to covid.
They are also talking about the fact that the vast majority of people are nor seeking medical help for other issues and its leading to serious illness or death.
I get that covid is costing the NHS a fortune. But given that most things have stopped (my dp has now missed 2 scans) and people aren't seeking medical help, even when they need it. Isn't the NHS also saving a fortune? There's all this money being raised but not much clarity on how much more, overall, the NHS is spending.
Is the Covid spending out weighing the savings? Are there any figures that show the NHS spend vs Savings or even overall figure of how much the NHS usually costs in March/April compared with this year.
Also, are nhs staff being furloughed? Dp still can't get his specialist hearing aid fitted, which is fine. But when I spoke to the receptionist on the phone, she said they are all still working, some from home but don't have anything to do and can't really be redeployed. She was looking forward to getting people back in, with measures in place. She also said the 2 consultants working in that department haven't been redeployed (not sure if they can be) and working from home doing paperwork.
Will they all be kept on, on full wage?
