NHS paramedic evicted by text due to coronavirus fears of landlady

A paramedic working tirelessly on the front line to help keep the UK safe from coronavirus was evicted by text by his landlady.

The NHS worker received a message saying he was being booted out as his landlady was worried she might catch the virus.

In the message, she claims it was ‘only a matter of time’ before Joseph Hoar, who works for the South Western Ambulance Service, would be in contact with the virus.

The full message reads: “Actually Joe, on reflection I am now super nervous about having someone from the NHS here.

“As it’s only a matter of time before you are in contact with the virus. Can you organise an Airbnb and collect your stuff tomorrow.

“Sorry I normally would never do this but it’s not worth the risk. I’ll charge you for the week and refund everything.”

Joseph wrote on Twitter: “When you work as a paramedic for the NHS and you get evicted over a text by your land lady.

“Because of this I now won’t be able to work my 12hr night shift tomorrow, so that means one less paramedic on the road. At these unprecedented times we need our NHS demand more than ever.”

What a disgusting thing to do at any time, but especially during the current crisis…
