Johnson's legacy of pursuing a mass infection policy.
One fact will dismantle the Johnson Government’s entire defence at the Covid Inquiry and harm them irreparably at the General Election…

[#JohnsonOut #JohnsonTheCorruptPM #YourNHSNeedsYou]
The PM embarked on ‘freedom day’ without making provision to treat the inevitable increase in severely unwell cases. Just pause for a moment and consider that…
The UK has less inpatient capacity than before the pandemic. Freedom day has led to so much Covid Pneumonia it has TRIPLED the healthcare burden from 'normal' pneumonia - one of the highest burden diseases in the UK - and still the capacity of the NHS is less.
If there’s ANYONE at @educationgovuk @CommonsEd with a heart or a conscience, please understand that forcing millions of unvaccinated children into mitigation-free schools day in day out is a level of #WilfulNegligence I didn’t imagine possible in modern 🇬🇧.

Whether the motivation is a flawed #DeliberateMassInfection policy to reach “Herd Immunity” or part of a wider plan to crush & crash the #NHS (hastening #NHSPrivatisation ) by letting #COVID “rip” …..it is wholly unacceptable, unethical & immoral to “experiment” on our young.
We can now say with confidence that the government's NHS strategy is leading to more people dying (all-cause).
This report by the Royal College of Emergency Medicine is a shocking and sickening indictment of the Johnson leadership.

Message from2019:Imagine a new deadly airborne virus swept across the world that without simple protection, would result in death & long term disability for millions. Imagine if powerful rich companies didn’t care, especially as
Affording the temporary protection meant disruption to cash flow. Would you believe it if I told you that the elite decide to dupe the population into thinking it was all a hoax, a bit like a cold, and normalised the idea that the most vulnerable weren’t worth saving,
That preventable death & disease wasn’t a thing? And that great chunks of society fell for it? That despite over 5 million deaths globally, mounting evidence of harm, vaccines, still the elite got their way? 2021 update: it happened
Hi Mr Javid 👋, I wanted to check in with you briefly today.
As Health Secretary, currently overseeing the management of #Covid19UK from a HEALTHCARE perspective, I know you’ll be keen to be up to speed on the current situation ON THE FRONTLINE.

Incase you think I’m being hysterical, I’ll recount 2 examples from my experiences of the past week.
As a Dr in A&E & UTCs I’m well placed to see how the government’s catastrophic management of #COVID19UK is effecting patient care in both Primary & Secondary care.

Why are so many willing to let the NHS go under?
I have found a lot of bad assumptions at the heart of those who want to see the NHS fail and a new system take its place. A few tweets to add to the debate..

Some argue that no health system has copied the NHS.
The reality is that most high-income countries have copied the NHS-model and have a very similar model. Few have however, managed to make healthcare provision the sole duty of the state...

Although in 2012, I believe this current government pushed through an amendment to make it NOT the responsibility of the Health Sec.

More people will die this week from COVID-19 than died of FLU in the whole of 2019.
And just to be clear: if you are in hospital you will be tested for the flu. And excess deaths last week = 1400. That is, 1400 people are no longer here that would be here if we stopped behaving like spoiled children - gov and others included. Norway excess death = -6.
Ok. Just to be very very clear!!!
FLU and COVID are like Ghandi and Boris Johnson….yes, both human but one causes much more damage and destruction.
Thread explaining the ACTUAL facts!!!! Happy to answer any reasonable question

As panic gripped a rudderless nation, worst-case scenarios were being projected and simulations cast doom over the healthcare service’s ability to cope, the relative unknown fatality of this new infection foraging the globe loomed over our heads.
It was March 2020, and within this culture of fear, speculation became an acceptable basis for decision-making. Fear of needing to ration became rationing itself; protecting the NHS became failing to protect the people, and government policy suddenly became 'clinical guidelines’
Restricted access to the NHS during the pandemic...

This paper was developed from a collaboration between primary, secondary, and public health care specialists. Its aim was to examine and highlight the policies that have led to restricted access to healthcare in the UK.

It shows:
1. No triage for suspected or confirmed COVID-19 cases
Despite WHO recommendation to triage all patients with this novel coronavirus, patients are told to NOT contact their GP and instead use an AUTOMATED, online patient-led triage system,... BUT only if concerned...

Our PM is a populist nationalist liar, a corrupt opportunist charlatan, a bigoted antidemocratic cheat & a regressive global embarrassment who serves the interests of a cabal of rich disaster capitalists & has overseen 140,000 mostly completely avoidable deaths - so far.

The NHS response to the Pandemic.
The public have a right to feel ABANDONED...
...in many ways they were.
But give me a moment to convince you: it was NOT the NHS that abandoned the public...it was our Leadership who abandoned us all.

We're forever being told by the press & the government that our schools & universities are hotbeds of 'woke Leftist indoctrination'.
Are they fuck. They're places where a range of expert voices debate ideas, evidence & knowledge.
If anyone's been radicalised, it's this lot:

The NHS needs MORE CAPACITY!
NOW!
At the start of the pandemic The UK Government reduced NHS bed capacity. The further into Winter we get the more catastrophic this failure/decision becomes.
There is still time...

The math is quite easy:
Going into the Winter we normally have 15% bed capacity available. We currently have 5%.
6% of beds taken up by COVID-19 patients
+
4% of beds cut at the start of the pandemic (was 8%)
That is the 10% loss. Or a 70% reduction in bed availability.

Almost every other country in the world increased basic care capacity..
It was one of the first things the World Health Organisation advised.
More people to treat = more capacity to treat them.

Why didn't you follow the WHO guidelines and increase basic healthcare capacity?...Why leave us with less beds to deal with more patients?
And why, after 20 months, do we still have less beds than before the pandemic?

To those that use the NHS,
You will have no doubt heard about the pressures on the NHS just now. It is true, we are worried. We have begun this Winter under considerable strain - more than usual. And, I won't lie, we expect things to get worse.

We have little capacity - both emotional or beds. We are short staffed, and on top of all this we have a pandemic to deal with.
I understand you too may be running out of capacity... to face even more calamity after a calamitous 20 months. You too must be worried.

Firstly, can I say, we are still here. We get up in the morning (or night) and come to work. We donn our PPE, roll up our sleeves and face the avalanche of patients, requests, relatives, battle-hardened colleagues, and a pathogen that we have lost many colleagues to.
