Very much the same where I am.
Generally we do have enough PPE (although visors are an issue) but the problem is that the recommendation are changing daily which means we tend to have just received boxes of the previous level and then they change! (at the end of this we we have vast quantises of unused kit) so there's a short period while we catch-up.
Very sadly I agree about the numbers... I was in two minds about writing down our figures... especially when I constantly hear on the news and from Govt about the 'silver bullet' of ventilators (please be aware what they are now classing as a vent is not a true vent, we've had two of these delivered by the Army last week and unfortunately they are really not of any true use).. just to say that, so far, unfortunately all of the CV-19 cases who have required a vent have sadly not made it (we not quite at three numbers).
