Didn't notice it initially. The stress these guys must be under. They're probably exhausted too.

I’d say they are absolutely bol!oxed, stress, very long days, knowing what’s coming. They must all be wrecked.

I wouldn't be surprised if they were still painting camouflage on half a dozen ford transists yesterday at 6pm

I've seen it replayed several times.
To me it looked like a propaganda exercise.

How else will they get the footage for Reeling in the years.

Typical scummy carry on from a union

Unbelievable carry on. EMT’s crew emergency ambulances all over the world, it’s a sensible use of resources. We’re going through a crisis and all siptu can do is whinge about Overtime.

The National Ambulance Service trained and intended to redeploy over 100 emergency medical technicians (intermediate care operatives) from patient transport work to instead crew up with paramedics on frontline vehicles to fill the gap in staff out isolating, and also to staff covi19 testing cars but Siptu and many of the paramedics taking issue with this.

Despite the fact NAS was built on EMT's and majority of paramedics today were trained to a lesser standard than modern EMT's and handed a paramedic license overnight when PHECC was established.
The same PHECC who recommended this should happen.

Big divide in the service now. Most paramedics agree with whats happening but a sizeable loud minority despise the EMT's who have been part of NAS since 2012.

All boils down to overtime payments. Imagine that in the time of national crisis. Classic Siptu. "The best interest of all stakeholders." Who could that be now?
I reckon they'll be told to go and shíte.

jesus didn't take long for the unions to show their true colours.

scum. and like anyone else using this disaster for other agendas, their actions now will be remembered for a long long time.

That's you're biggest worry through all this?

If that's our biggest issue at the end of all this I'd be happy.

Jesus you whinging whining negative doom and gloom merchants literally suck the life and belief out of normal people just trying to get through this.

The letter simply suggests that ambulances should be staffed by qualified personnel whenever possible. That's how I read it. I didn't see any threat.

It’s normally 60 hours pw, but i think that has been lifted due to the crisis.

Never underestimate what Trump will say and the amount of numpties that will take everything he says as gospel. His ratings among the US public are at an all time high at present.

So was bush during the gulf war. He still lost the election in November. When all the numpties are dropping like flies their allegiances will be tested.

Trump is at 60%, Biden at 87%

No, they are sedated before the tube is inserted.

Don't forget Leos unrealistic prediction of 15,000 cases by the end of the month.

I see lots of people celebrating and saying fantastic job by the Government because we didn't hit the 15,000 cases or 30% increase per day.

FFS, we get 15,000 cases and it's the government's fault. We don't reach 15,000 cases and it's still their fault.
