Time for nhs workers perks to stop 21:25 - Jul 24 with 5303 viewsAndy1300

Let’s be honest, there are plenty of nhs workers that are milking the adulation and perks that have been bestowed upon them these past few months.

There are plenty who have kept working who don’t get what nhs workers get!

There's a difference between a delivery driver and NHS hospital staff, don't you think?

I've worked right through it, we built 4 emergency field hospitals, worked on two covid wards installing extra oxygen lines. That is in no way comparable what hospital staff have gone through. You do realise that other NHS staff, such as physiotherapists, neurology doctors, even NHS chiropodists were seconded to work on covid wards don't you? It was a mammoth effort.


It must have been awful judging by all the pathetic videos on Tik Tok, they didn’t seem too bothered on a Thursday night when they were all crowded outside hospitals to clap.

Tell shop workers that they don’t deserve credit for working through the pandemic, on lower pay than nhs staff, dealing with a hell of a lot more potential carriers than any nhs worker.

Just because someone is an nhs worker, doesn’t make them worthy of all the benefits that’s afforded them

Aye that'll be it, I don't know what all the fuss was about.

Must have been the 5G masts.

I want a mate like Flashberryjacks, who wears a Barnsley jersey with "Swans are my second team" on the back.

I’ve worked right through it too, even doing overtime to keep up with demand for our products.

Plenty work through the pandemic and just get on with it!

Nhs workers chose their job just like you or I.

They knew the risks after the last SARS pandemic.

Working directly with covid patients is a tad more risky that the jobs most ppl do.You cannot isolate yourself from potential infection unlike most other jobs.Social distancing is not an option for docs, nurses and care workers.

I'm sure the work you do is important to you, but the work NHS staff do is important to others.

Last one from me because you just sound very bitter towards them.

Those working on covid wards, were going in for every shift, knowing their life was on the line. Think about that for a minute, a very real risk of them losing their lives. Nobody in the NHS signs up for that, no matter how you want to dress it up.

They have been shat on for years, I'm glad that they did chose to go into that profession, because if everyone had your attitude, we would all be screwed.

Have a pleasant evening.

Good for you!
My son became very ill indeed with coronavirus, he's frontline NHS, you would be absolutely gobsmacked if I were allowed to tell you how many of his fellow co-workers tested positive too.
In fact, quite a few tested positive for antibodies recently and worked all the way through without knowing they had come down with C-19

Bring on the second wave, I am saving a fortune. I seem to be living in different world to the world BBC/Sky News are programming. I have not seen a single cough in the last 3 months and I work with 300+ people.


I'm not sure about you living in a different world, we're all living in different worlds. I know people who've never been so cash rich and people like me on the other hand who've come pretty close to losing everything. There was no rhyme nor reason, you were either one of the fortunate one's or you weren't. Hopefully one good thing that has come from the Tories turning their backs on small businesses is that it will lose them approximately 3 million votes at the next election.

You certainly are living in a different world. I know 3 ppl who have died. I know of another who was on a ventilator, but recovered and can hardly walk up his garden path without stopping for breath.I also know of some who have shrugged it off within days.


I know people who've had it and just got a bit ill, one who's been critically ill - ventilator then coma, then tracheostomy and survived, and one who died.

Deserve everything they get, and more.

Talk about football fans being fickle about their team be f*cked.

You are always going to get a few bad eggs in any workplace.

In the next wave, the NHS should open up their covid wards, and let the general public spend one shift with them. F*cking heartbreaking.


Pathetic isn't it?

I just don't understand how some people think like this. What do they get out of being unpleasant all the time?

I worked all the way through it too, as a Keyworker myself. Zero perks for me to. But then I didnt work on a COVID ward pulling 12 hour shifts in incredibly uncomfortable PPE nor am I a domestic or a porter and worked on a ward for little more than minimum wage putting my health on the line everyday.

If they were fortunate to have the PPE. I know of care workers who took plastic bags into work to use as body coverings, and of masks that were out of date.

Many nurses, care workers etc were infected themselves, probably the majority were.

People are getting complacent, you only have to drive through the Uplands tonight to see punters crammed in like sardines outside Noah's, beaches crammed whenever we get any sort of nice weather.

These same people were shìtting their pants 3 months ago when covid was running out of control, and they will no doubt, be scratching their heads and wondering why this virus has come back with a vengeance again shortly...

Totally agree.

We lost a friend to covid, she wasn't even a nurse anymore, had moved into child mental health but was sent to a covid ward and died at home, she leaves her husband and 6 year old son.
Another friend, a community nurse, seconded to Morriston covid ward, caught it, beat it and returned to work.

Don't tell me they're not heroes who deserve something back, something more than backbiting certainly.

My wife worked on the covid wars in Morriston. when it was at it's peak and still does, although there are no covid patients there now.. She went in to do her shifts without any complaints, except when they weren't getting the correct PPE

She said it's our job and we aren't heroes - i think otherwise.I was on pins every time she went and came home. We had separate bedrooms for a few weeks and kept our distance.Every time she coughed or sneezed i would literally jump and think, is this it

It was a horrible time and I hope it doesn't have to be repeated
