You can help to take pressure off the #NHS this winter, with this one simple trick....
Did you know that everyone can reduce the spread of airborne infections such as:
Colds; the 'flu, COVID-19, Strep A, RSV
Even when you didn't even realise you were infected. This trick still works...

You get to be a real NHS hero. By doing this thing, which you can do surprisingly easily, you may have even done it before.
It's IMPERATIVE that anyone with chronic lung disease #Asthma be given continued protection with a 6 month #CovidBooster this winter.

Am I surprised to read of the number of cases in @DVLAgovuk offices? Not at all.
I’ll say again....@GOVUK (& @educationgovuk) advice for INDOOR settings is COMPLETELY INADEQUATE & UNSAFE!
#COVIDisAirborne....
BUT THE THEY DON’T WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT ! 1/10🧵

I ask EVERY patient where they work & I have to say that many workers & employers have been dangerously mislead.
#COVIDisAirborne, the advice needs to change URGENTLY!
Screens, sitting back-back/side by side may stop someone coughing in your face but it won’t stop air mixing.2/

Take a look at the advice-
In large rooms/whole floors full of office workers sitting 2m or less apart THE AIR WILL SOON MIX.
If the windows are shut, highly likely in winter, the exhaled breath of worker w/ #COVID19 won’t take long to be everywhere.
Think HOW SMOKE SPREADS! 3/

1) If both #NHS & @GOVUK websites have ONLY 3 symptoms with NO comment about other possible symptoms 1 of 2 things will happen. People WITH #COVID19 won’t realise they need or be able to access a test. OR those people that know there are more symptoms will have to lie to get one.
2)So there will be 1000s of ppl W/ #COVID19 oblivious that they have it & returning to work/school as soon as their symptoms have gone. Add to this that headteachers can only request a test for a child OR send a contact home based on those 3 SYMPTOMS huge numbers will be missed.
3)Then consider that the much hailed #lateralflowtest s have a very high FALSE NEGATIVE rate AND that they’re going to be used widely across educational settings to AVOID children & staff isolating.
This is a recipe for an ABSOLUTE DISASTER!

There seems to be confusion about the very clear monitoring that UK govt has put in place to adjust lockdown measures in the near future.
So I clarified the clear graph that was provided.

In case more clarity is needed, here is the formula provided by the govt applied to another one of its clear graph.
It clearly says encouraging people to get back to work now is willingly deciding to risk their health and overwhelm the NHS.

Joke aside, what govt clearly said is
It doesn't understand science, not even a bit
It lacks info about on the epidemic, so can't "monitor" anything
2nd peak is coming, it's going to be bloody awful
And it won't be science's or people's fault, but govt's

1. NHS staff are genuinely frightened for their lives and some have been warned not to speak out about the crisis.
2. N.H.S staff supplied with plastic catering aprons as opposed to medical gowns.
3. Inadequate stock piles of PPE to protect staff and patients.

I watched the Prime Minister’s press conference in despair. In a public health emergency communication and information saves lives. Yet time & again the Government keeps failing to push out a strong clear message to everyone. For all our sakes they urgently need to get a grip.
In a national emergency when lives depend on it the Prime Minister needs to ensure that strong, clear messages reach everyone on what they MUST NOW DO given the sheer gravity of what we face because we have a collective responsibility to save lives
Instead at the press conference the Prime Minister encouraged people to “follow the advice on social distancing.”
