Is it just me, or do other landlords find Shelter's latest advert highly offensive?. In their advert, they mentioned the landlord who evicted a NHS doctor. Shelter have stooped very low. It is painting landlords in cruel manner.
It related to the story below. The NHS doctor was a lodger. He lived with his landlady. I know many people are scared. We saw that in the panic buying in the supermarket. It is understandable the landlady feared, the doctor lodger would bring the virus home.
I know many families, who have loved ones, who still have to work during the lockdown, such as supermarket workers, pharmacists, bank clerks, deliver staff, opticians, postmen, post office workers, construction workers, tradesmen, diy staff, petrol station staff, refuse workers, social services, car mechanics... .... all are worried when they go to work, they can catch the virus. They are worried they will bring the virus back home and infect their loved ones (some of whom may be vulnerable and for whom the virus could be fatal).
Was the landlady right to be worried?.
Currently one in four NHS doctors is 'sick or in isolation'. Inadequate testing of NHS staff. Inadequate PPE. NHS 111 not picking up phone calls. GP's office shut or only doing telephone consultations.
Statistics :
UK: 2 doctors lost (and a doctors's daughter).
Italy: 61 Italian doctors have died. 8358 health workers tested positive.
Spain: 5400 workers contracted the virus
