BREAK: PM announces a full UK lockdown to tackle #COVID19

You can only leave to:

* Travel to work but only if necessary
* Providing care or going to a medical appointment
* Shopping for basic necessities
* Exercising once a day

Police will have powers to enforce rules
* All non-essential shops closed

* Gatherings of over 2 people not from same household will be dispersed

* All social events, including weddings, baptisms and other ceremonies, but excluding funerals cancelled

* Playgrounds, libraries, gyms and places of worship will be closed
Measures are in place for three weeks - the government will re-assess at that point.

NEW: Have spent the morning talking to several doctors across the country, in London, the North East and the Midlands about how the #NHS it dealing with #COVID19.

What I’ve been told is eye opening. Please give this thread a read:

1/6
Multiple doctors told me that me that #COVID19 tests are taking up to 5 days to come back. In that time patients cannot be kept in isolation because of lack of space.

So in that 3-5 day period, if they have Corona virus they are exposed to staff and other patients.

2/6
Doctor in North East says they are running low on oxygen cylinders and ran out of FFP3 masks (those are the good ones) on Tuesday for all wards other than intensive care units.

NHS staff on other wards are at risk and wearing flimsy surgical masks, which aren't as good.

3/6

NEW: Theresa May has written to Jeremy Corbyn outlining her response to Labour’s Brexit proposals.

At first glance, seems like May has conceded very little to Corbyn (rejecting 3 out of his 5 demands).

Here is the letter and a quick summary:
Corbyn called for a permanent UK-wide customs union and an agreement that includes a UK say on future EU trade deals.

May rejects this outright, says Corbyn wants a say in future EU trade deals rather than the ability for the UK to strike its own.

Minimal movement from May.
Corbyn called for close alignment with the single market, underpinned by “shared institutions and obligations”.

May says she does not understand what Corbyn means by "shared institutions.." and her deal is the “closest relationship possible outside the SM”.

Minimal movement.

1/... Bothers me when I highlight clear examples of Islamophobia and discrimination and people who could in no way understand tell me I'm wrong.

Those who have not experienced it just dismissing it and saying it isn't happening demonstrates a total lack of understanding
2/... This is completely true with Labour anti-Semitism. If members of the Jewish community are raising and highlighting this issue, it is 100% there and you cannot dismiss it.

It is being highlighted for a reason.
3/... BELIEVE ME no one wants these issues. I can guarantee you that no one wants to be having these debates and arguments.

Given the choice racism and discrimination would be no issue. It is being raised because people want it to stop. There's no other reason for it.

#COVIDー19 crisis response is another area where the performance of Prime Minister #ImranKhan's cabinet is inadequate & late resulting in a rapid surge in #coronavirus cases+infections. His TV address was unimpressive. @ImranKhanPTI can learn from @realDonaldTrump & @NYGovCuomo.
Unlike #USA+#Europe, #Pakistan is right next door to two epicenters of #COVIDー19 spread: #China & #Iran. China was initially late but later took impressive steps to contain the spread, incl quarantining #Pakistani citizens. Unlike Iran where Pk citizens visited in large numbrs.
What steps did PM #ImranKhan take for a #CoronaFreePakistan when it was obvious #Pakistan faced #COVIDー19 spread threat from #Iran; & when it became obvious that almost every neighbor incl #Iraq+#Turkey+#Gulf traced 1st cases to Iran & when #Tehran failed to warn neighbors?

Media reporting Imperial College have redone the maths. Assumptions not correct. UK plan to tackle #covidー19 is in disarray. Suppression now required for 12-18 months in the hope of a vaccine. 250k deaths the best case scenario. Human and economic impact profound. Jesus wept.
“Situation is much more serious than anticipated. Demand on ICU twice as much as thought”.
Concluded that epidemic suppression through prolonged isolation would halve the death rate

Lots of talk about the expected surge in ICU and hosp beds with #COVID. I’ve been hearing about reducing elective case burden (great thread from @ajaykirtane about that). We should also be rethinking our hospital approach to conditions that will continue in the covid era 1/n
Most obvious is with #STEMI care. If your hospital doesn’t have an ED bypass protocol for stemis - probably a good time to develop one. Ours at @VHC_Hospital has 1 min pitstop in ed w ems txp to cath lab - less pt exposure time to ED and less burden on ED resources 2/n
Also with #STEMI care - No icu for stable pts w normal EF should be standard. For most of these pts ICU is not necc and creates unneeded exposure for pt and occupies much needed ICU beds. (I think @agtruesdell had a great thread on this a while back) 3/n
