LOTS of #Coronavirus noise out there, so have been talking to senior NHS doctors about what is REALLY going on.

Some good stuff, some bad....this is NOT meant to be alarming, but it MIGHT make people think about need to take 'social distancing' advice seriosly 1/Thread
First, what's happening as NHS prepares, per frontline sources.

1. Docs with ITC experience are all being asked to self-declare

2. Ongoing (re) training of consultants and docs on intubation/ventilation

3. Assumption staff will need to work 12hr on/off shifts /2
Now we get to the tougher stuff.

- discussions ongoing about WHAT constitutes non-urgent/elective care. There will be a gradual fading out, depending on need.

But, per source, may mean stopping "two week cancer" referrals - the ones GPs do for people needing urgent tests /3

EXC: As this week's #Brexit talks formally canned, understand now top-level acceptance that UK WILL seek extension - just question of timing& choroeography. Details here 1/thread

telegraph.co.uk/politics/2020/…
This marks shift of top-level thinking even from weekend when 'big five' in No 10 REALLY REALLY didn't want to seek extension - and officially that remains position per statement tonight. BUT... /2
Reality is already biting.

- two Director-Generals (that's a rank below perm-sec) on #Brexit negs have already shifted to #coronavirus duties

- Cab Cmme on both EU and US trade talks have been canned. "expectation" is that UK/US talks won't proceed/open even by vidlink. /3

11. United States decided to label #IRGC terrorists. But who are the real terrorists? Who created, trained, armed & financed the worst terrorist groups in the world?

#Hypocrites #DoubleStandards #Liars #Warlords #USRealTerrorists
Wrong US policies in the Middle East. Sanctions against Iran. Sanctions used by the USA as a war weapon🤨👇🏼

🇺🇸 🇨🇳 The threat will probably cause another significant distortion of global trade (volume) with a potential spike in May (frontloading) and then a sharp drop (similar to the situation we experienced in Nov./Dec.)

🇺🇸 🇨🇳 In the short term, it would lead investors/economists to keep overstating the health of global trade growth (as it has been constantly the case since June 2018) Image
🇺🇸 🇨🇳 Once again, tariffs could attract attention while downward pressures coming from weak demand in auto and semi-conductor industries are hitting global economy.

#Brexit news for today:

Nigel Adams, Minister for Wales, and Governement whip has resigned the #Cabinet over #TheresaMay's way forward.

1/n
You can hear #TheresaMay's reaction from here

2/n
So the splitting of the #ToryParty continues. Where will it end? And can we expect resignations from #Labour if #Corbyn is seen as giving up too much to #TheresaMay during the discussions tonight.

So now we have a Withdrawal Agreement and Political Declaration, what next?

The "Meaningful Vote", scheduled for 11 December.

#Brexit

1/10
It looks highly likely that May's deal will not be approved, first time at least.

I have summed up what might happen after that in this blog post: jonworth.eu/there-is-a-wit…

I sketch out 7 things that could happen - summaries in this thread.

2/10
OPTION 1️⃣
** Just hold the line **

Wait to see what happens. See if markets crash. See if MPs begin to show remorse. And then make them vote again.

Chances: low. A 2nd vote on the same proposition is ridiculous.
