    Can anyone explain why ⁦@sajidjavid⁩ is wearing an FFP2 mask when most of the rest of the NHS is issued with masks that provide less protection. Front-line-lives-matter, too. ⁦@trishgreenhalgh⁩ ⁦@CNOEngland⁩

    My triple jabbed friend has cold like symptoms. Now tested +tive for O’crn. Needs a PCR test. Elderly, no car, no tests available on line. They are in the Covid cul-de-sac. Can’t use public transport. No great on-line skills. What next @BorisJohnson welcome to reality

    Copy this and send it to your MP, show your partner, neighbour, re-Tweet it give it to the shops in the high street to put in the window and display it in GP surgeries and A&E… this is why the NHS is choc-a-bloc

    Just for the record; > In 30 days the NHS has delivered 5m jabs > Trusts are running at a 92.9% occupancy > GPs have seen 196.8m people ytd, compared to 175.5m same period last year >> 3.5m people have been seen within 4hrs in A&E

    Just listened to someone called Helen Wakeley , who is apparently a health minister, on the @BBCr4today talking about millions for this and that to speed this and end that with no mention of staffing or workforce. This is entirely bonkers! And borders on a fraud on the public

    There’s misinformation about GPs. Here’s facts: In August, GPs did 25m consults;14m were face2face, 9.2m were β€˜tele-med’, the rest house-calls and allied-professionals.Β They also did 1.5m jabs.I can see why @BMA are upset.The row is fake news and fabricated and I can’t see why?

    Can anyone explain, please, why NHS are wearing surgical masks for droplet protection when FFP2 masks are designed for aerosol transmission - which is what Covid is all about? Is it why 19,000 NHS staff are off sick @CNOEngland @trishgreenhalgh what am I missing?

    I don’t want to be unnecessarily morbid but this queue of ambulances will only be dwarfed by the queue of hearses outside crematoria.The evidence of ten years of austerity before Covid and the lack of system capacity.All years of Conservative government. Life is about choices

    I’ve just read your book which is about so much more than Sophie. A really interesting insight into psychology, illness, politics, the nHS and family life… and Paxman! Well done, it’s a good read
    Having refused until a couple of weeks ago to go upstairs #sophiefromromania is now refusing to come back down! I’ve had to take her room service

    just watched @MattHancock on the 11o’clock @SkyNews saying we shouldn’t use β€˜more PPE than is needed’ What does this stupid man think nurses are doing with it! Wearing it to fancy dress parties for fun? @Jeremy_Hunt have a word with him

    If I'm ill I first want to speak to a doctor. I do not want to speak to an assistant doctor or someone masquerading by design or cunning or accident, as a doctor.
