    in the medical field most people understand a doctor to be a medical doctor. a nurse calling himself a doctor, even while technically he is a one, is disingenuous. thousands of his new viewers think he is a medical doctor now. his username is "Dr John Campbell". anyone with time and some money can get a PhD. very few people can be medical doctors.
    From his Bio on YouTube
    Hello Everyone,
    My name is John Campbell and I am a retired Nurse Teacher and A and E nurse based in England.

    Should we seriously not just consider the cocoon strategy for at risk groups. Anyone in this group should keep themselves isolated. Leave everybody else get back to some normality, perhaps people who can work from home continue to do so. But get the kids back to school.

    Why the kids they can carry it from what I remember. If you work your always in a group so that means restrictions like this have to stay anyway

    What happens if you have a mother or father living with you who are high risk? What do you do in that situation? How do you isolate them when they live with you?

    I haven't seen my parents for over two weeks because I have a partner who works on the frontline. Its difficult but perhaps the government can provide supports to elderly who are cucooning.

    Anyone know?

    That's exactly what the Chinese got so right. After realizing 75-80% of all infections were in family groups, they didn't have infected people isolate at home, they quarantined them in dedicated fever hospitals so there was less chance of them infecting everyone in the family as well..

    A 21 year old has died in Coventry.

    A 36 year old has died in London and was told she wasn't a priority the day before she passed.

    I heard on the grapevine that a teenager has died in Northern Ireland.

    Stay the fuuck inside.

    Some mighty BS right there. My ex could have sailed through the medical degree she started, later getting a Phd in Electrical Engineering was harder.

    i said not everyone can be a medical doctor. nothing you have said proves otherwise.

    Sure our teenagers are too busy spitting and coughing on people and acting the ****ing bollix to be worried about things like this - that might change when it starts cutting a few of them down.

    they should bring all our doctors and nurses home and pay them, and if the die battling this pestilence they should give the family their lump sum!

    When they say “had no underlying medical condition” does that mean they had no known condition or it’s confirmed that they had none in the hospital?

    I wonder do at least some of the younger people who have died have conditions they didn’t know about.

    500k views: between $ 375 to $ 1000 according to google, so a fair bit if he monetised it, considering he is doing 2 videos a day and they get between 200k and 500k each. Plus his viewer demographic is probably at the higher end than a lot of channels which just have kids watching.

    I thought it was 5? And why not stay and help out in Oz?

    How would you feel if the Philippines sent planes over to Ireland to fly back nurses, or other nationalities?

    Hospitals, nursing homes - there are thousands of non Irish working in the healthcare in Ireland- would you be happy for these to go back to their own country and leave us?

    The independent said it was 65 Irish doctors, and some were in senior positions.
    According to the article they're all ready and have quit their jobs!

    I don't think anyone would want all of the non Irish working in healthcare to quit their jobs and leave the country in this crisis, but if they've quit and want to go back to their own country then i'd understand that.

    I think he was talking about mental health problems people with high anxiety and people in isolation with there abuser. I am agreeing with you on your last line

    I'm also talking about people who die as a result of a tanking economy. Poverty is the biggest indicator of early death. I get that this illness has the potential to be serious but we were never going to be Italy or Spain. At the start it was hard to not see is being like thos countries but I think when we stand back we realise there many reasons why we won't be.

    Well it forces me outta the workforce so hope the government provide good compensation for it.

    Do you mean like a heart defect? That's quite possible

    He has a Paypal donation option below the videos so monetised in a way.

    That gouger is whinging about people calling him out for his gouging.

    Did he could not see it. There is one on youtube of a guy who bought all the hand sanatizer up in his are and tried to sell for $70 until ebay took them down showed no remorse and then got threats and then tried to look remorseful

    Impossible to know , think the safety blanket of underlying conditions or younger is being ripped away. Odds are better if u don't have underlying conditions or younger but u can still die.

    at least we now have public contact tracing for one case...

    That's very suspicious. Potential regicide. Probably saw it as his only chance to be king. Might mean William end's up king. Bold move by Charles if that's the case.

    Watching too much period dramas.:D

    I don't know. I don't live in NY. What has the demand of ventilators in New York have to do with the fact that you need to be specially trained nurse to mind a patient on a ventilator?
    But also, what is your opinion on vasopressors? How do you manage them? How do you manage ventilator associated infections?

    We need more staff properly trained to use them. That is the main limiting factor. Not availability of ventilators.

    We need both. And experienced staff brought out of retirement.

    Italy got next to no notice about the ventilator shortage.

    We won't be able to use that excuse.

    Yes but many young people die of the flu every year and yes I know this is not the same as the flu but if we were to use the logic of someone aged 21 dying is a reason to shut down the country then we should do it for the flu.

    firstly...i dont know enough and open to correction on anything i say on this.....but i seen a piece on the telly and it seemed to say that these were doctors who were coming to end of their current contracts or something.

    this page contains a tweet from fergal bowers on it..
