Me: "should I use *?"

Well you're depleting *someone's* PPE stock for what's a totally non-essential, voyeuristic gawp at patients whose own families can't visit. You're getting in way, & risking safety, of
@NHSuk
staff & patients. For what? A bit of a thrill. Stay the fuck at home, Kemp.
I’ve just been fitted for PPE and we’re about to go into an intensive care unit at Milton Keynes Hospital to witness the incredible efforts of medics treating Covid 19 patients. Please note we won’t be depleting the hospital’s PPE stock
