  • I'm missing so, so much ominously Thomas Harvey, a symbol of N HS service in life on emblem of its failings in death, well, tributes have been paid to a highly regarded heart surgeon who has died after contracting covert 19 in Wales.

  • The University Hospital of Wales, the very hospital of course to which he devoted so much of his career.

  • Jitender Rutherford was in his early sixties.

  • He had two Children.

  • He was a cardio thoracic surgeon known as jittery to his friends, and he'd worked for the Health Board on and off for around 30 years.

  • I understand that he'd be in self isolating for a lot of the last month and that he hadn't been working at the hospital prior to his admission, the first Minister of Whales Mark Drakeford said this was desperately sad news and described him as a very highly regarded doctor.

  • The chief executive of the health trust said he was devastated by what had happened on early this afternoon.

  • He had this to say about the surgeon.

  • He was a much loved colleague.

  • He was one of those colleagues that everybody talks very positively about.

  • I've had texts and messages sent to me over the course of the last year and in all of them.

  • It's about how much people really liked him, felt supported by him, and he was one of the pillars in the organization.

  • So a real loss towards here within Cardiff from Bill Len Richards went on to say that they had around 100 and 60 patients at this and another of their hospitals have tested positive for Corona virus, a minority of whom are in intensive care and that roughly the numbers they're seeing a doubling every 4 to 5 days.

  • But currently their capacity is good and that they're coping well.

  • What's the latest on testing in Wales?

  • Handy, A new drive in test center opened in Cardiff today by appointment only for social care workers, police in prison staff.

  • They're going to be opening another three such centers across Wales in the next two weeks.

  • On average, about 200 test per day at each center on all of this part of the world.

  • Governments Dr Thio, increase their testing capacity from 1100 today to around 4000 day over the next two weeks.

  • That, at least, is Thea ambition of the Welsh government.

  • Andy Davis.

  • Well, joining me now from a hospital in East Anglia is Daniel a liar, a locum doctor currently working in a covert unit attached to an accident and emergency department.

  • And Daniel, I can see your surrounded by colleagues as well.

  • If any of them would like to add to what you're saying would be delighted to hear from them as well.

  • I mean, we just heard too heartbreaking stories of n hs professionals.

  • Well, what is the situation with your unit?

  • Do you have a ll the protective equipment on the testing that you need?

  • I think it's a tough one.

  • It really, really is a tough one.

  • We're here.

  • We're trying to keep positive.

  • We're trying to focus on the patients That's my number one to go.

  • But of course, you know what we were thinking about peopie?

  • We think about the testing.

  • I can only speak for myself and everyone's individuals.

  • But if everyone on here was tested, I'm sure you know the results.

  • He wouldn't surprise us and it would be able to react and respond to these results.

  • Would have confidence to say that No, I shouldn't be here or Yes, I'm okay.

  • Toe work.

  • I'm OK to be close by in proximity to patients.

  • I'm not giving it to my colleagues.

  • I'm not giving it to the around me.

  • We do need testing.

  • That's you know, there's no doubt about that and we need it faster.

  • We do know that, you know, some tests have been rolled out, but it's just about speed, you know, and we support our government.

  • We know they're trying to best, but we're just trying to give them an extra, you know, pushed to say, Come on, let's let's move on this new bit faster.

  • The next thing is, is pee pee again.

  • You know, we do have some peopIe.

  • We do have some measures to stop the infection to start affecting us and are the people of thinking other people.

  • But we want the best.

  • You won't want the best.

  • And right now we're not getting the best and that's that's wait.

  • It's what you guys think.

  • No, I think that I think it's a scary time for everybody.

  • And I think this is something that it's affecting doctors, health care professionals, on a global level, in terms of like the support that we've got from everybody, and the encouragement that we're receiving is it's truly humbling.

  • And I think that in the hospital, the vibe is also very sort of looking out for each other, looking out for other health care professionals and making sure that everyone is wearing the correct equipment and working together.

  • So currently at the Cova Juna alongside Daniel and I think it's always quite nerve racking when you're seeing a patient who's suspected covert or tested positive for cover it.

  • But I think that most important thing is just to stay positive, be sensible toe, wear your proper people, the equipment and I think just to fulfill your role as a za health care worker and I think that they support the getting from everybody has allowed us to do that and it's just a matter of pacing ourselves and trying.

  • Thio, stay calm amongst the storm, which I think that as as a whole hospital, as a unit where we're doing quite well, I'd say, What what What is that?

  • You know the situation on capacity.

  • The government keeps saying at the moment capacity is greater than the number of patients coming in.

  • Is that your experience where you are?

  • So I mean, it depends where you are.

  • Different places have different levels of covert around.

  • We can't we can't compare stops.

  • There's something more busier places.

  • But right now I was personally, you know, we do have capacity to to see patients and you know why?

  • Perhaps the measures that the government had taken and that we've taken to stay home are trickling through because we do have capacity.

  • And perhaps that curve has been flattened because we can.

  • We are dealing with the patients coming through.

  • Absolutely.

  • I think the measures, just as I was saying that have been taken and you can actually see that when you are working at A and A and it's it's good to know that the general public are really sort of doing their best to try and control and maintain this pandemic as best as they can on how easy is it for professionals to distance yourselves from each other?

  • I mean, obviously, you're all crowded around the computer screen right now.

  • I mean, is distancing something you're able to do in hospital.

  • I mean, it is the rule and the guidelines, but we gotta be realistic if way crowded around patient doing CPR.

  • If we're close to a patient, if we around a computer, you know, we're gonna try our best.

  • Gonna try best way, our social distancing here you probably can't see on the screen.

  • But, you know, we are trying our best, but we gotta be realistic.

  • You know, being in a hospital working close proximity is we have to be realistic.

  • That's all you can say about social distancing.

now we applaud them from our windows were inspired by their courage.
