Covid is a serious disease and our hospitals in Bucks are under real pressure.

One can accept this while opposing lockdowns and restrictions

Hear from Dr Mitra Shahidi from @BucksHealthcare on the pressures facing our hospitals. 👇
@BucksHealthcare Cases and hospitalisations are at serious levels across Wycombe and Bucks.

We must all ensure we comply with the restrictions.

The quicker pressure eases, the quicker Covid restrictions will be lifted.

@BucksHealthcare There are reasons to be positive.

We have vaccinated 3 million people and we are the fourth country in the world for vaccinations per capita.

Yesterday, high street pharmacies across the country began to deliver vaccines.
I was very pleased to hear the Adams Park vaccine centre is running "like clockwork”.

With it taking 25 minutes for those arriving at the vaccine centre to be vaccinated, Adams Park sets a great standard.

With each person vaccinated, we are closer to lifting restrictions.

Vaccinating the top 4 risk groups by 15th Feb will account for over 80% of Covid deaths.

The Govt must set out its plan as soon as possible for when these draconian restrictions will be lifted.

💬 Now that the President of Azad Kashmir has accused India of genocide, Govt must take allegations of human rights abuses in Kashmir seriously.

Disappointed I can’t speak in today’s debate as I am now self-isolating with Covid symptoms awaiting results of an NHS test 🏥
In an article published by @BBCWorld on 16 May 2019, they write “there’s a real concern that those who wield power in today’s India are embracing a culture of impunity”

@BBCWorld The same article from @BBCWorld reported in January 2018 an “eight-year-old Muslim girl…in Indian administered Kashmir…was drugged and repeatedly gang-raped and tortured before she was murdered”

💬 Sad day. Lockdowns have failed in slowing the transmission of Covid.

Now Govt expects people to sacrifice sharing Xmas with family & friends, just a few days after promising the opposite ❓

❌We need a clear exit strategy from this nightmarish, cycle of damaging lockdowns.
🚨 As we deliver the vaccine to the most at risk groups, the public needs to see how this will translate into a return to normal life, with restrictions being lifted at every stage & a clear roadmap to all our freedoms being restored as soon as this work is done
