Very sad news.It shows that the NHS has finished.
Αυτο ειναι ενα ολοκληρωμενο ρεπορταζ. Μπραβο Michael.
It really is very sad to hear that so many of our compatriots have died from this terrible virus.It is equally sad to hear that some people “ attack “ the NHS .These people are heroes who are fighting a battle against an invisible enemy. They are doing everything possible without the right equipment, without the protection needed. It’s like going to war without guns and bullets. We should direct our attack against those who for so many years left the hospitals to go backwards with their cuts and austerity measures.We need to support the NHS and those that work in it not attack them.
Nicolas. Why is it Greece and Cyprus have got the same amount of deaths but theres is out of a combined population of 12 million and our community the 95 deaths is out of a population of 400000 simple …lockdown far too late
The NHS has worked so hard and with dedication. Maybe the lockdown came to late and idiots are not taking g this virus as the deadly threat it is.
Very sad news may they all rest in peace???
Hoping the remaining people in hospital get better soon.
Thank you NHS and all the brave people who are risking their lives to be there for all of us in our hour of need.
