Pray for their safety. Only way people can help is to stay indoors and not catching the virus.

GMOA any comments ? Why don't you oppose to this as well ? In your trade union terms it's a far greater sin and a crime. Those who built the hospital should be shot down......???????

Except for about 10% the rest of the GMOA are reasonable prudent Doctors. The high talking President Secy and Co that fall into the 10% must express their views for engaging NFH for Corona patients
