Yahoo Finance UK healthcare staff: have you been affected by people who think Covid is a hoax?
We’d like to hear from NHS staff and healthcare staff about who’ve been affected by any actions from people seeking to prove the coronavirus pandemic is not real.
On New Year’s Eve hundreds of people turned up outside St Thomas’ Hospital on New Year’s Eve to protest the “covid hoax.” In the first case of its kind, a woman was fined under Covid-19 regulations after posts appeared on social media claiming parts of a Hampshire hospital were “empty”. Four men who were filming inside hospitals in the West Midlands and Worcestershire were arrested .
If you’re working in UK health services – have you experienced any security issues in the workplace or anywhere else? How do hoaxes and conspiracy theories about coronavirus affect you or your work? Have you ever had to treat patients or deal with loved ones who do not believe Covid is real? Have you encountered colleagues who have also appeared to have been swayed by conspiracy theories about the virus?
