Thread by @AlisonGeorge10

Good afternoon @RishiSunak & @BorisJohnson

Claims that “we can’t control the spread of the virus.The virus is doing what’s doing….”, that we must learn to “live w/ #COVID” & exert “personal responsibility” are incorrect, disingenuous & dangerous!

What you actually mean is that YOU (& your government) have deliberately CHOSEN to prioritise the ECONOMY over the HEALTH & WELLBEING of the British ppl…..but are dishonestly & patronisingly pretending there is no other option?

W/ easy access to scientists & public health experts, anyone used to researching, looking for & assessing evidence, can find plentiful, accessible information on how to reduce #coronavirus transmission!

For highly educated ppl like yourselves, it would be an absolute doddle!
3/

I’ve just read this entire 60 tweet thread by @jljcolorado which summarises virtually everything you need to know about airborne transmission of #coronavirus & how to reduce/prevent it.

If you actually care about the ppl of this nation you will read it too.

Millions of ppl who are CV/CEV, work in “frontline” jobs, who live in deprived areas or large multigenerational households, with co-morbidities etc…. are relying on you to do what is best for them, to protect them & their loved ones & TO MAKE SAFE CHOICES.

As a Dr I’ve spent my working life being honest w/ patients.

Giving them all the appropriate information, the pros & cons on available options, equipping them to make REAL CHOICES.

Reading the evidence, then assessing/offering advice on RISK is what we do every day.

So it is particularly hard to stomach the constant flow of unscientific, irresponsible & callous nonsense from the mouths of every @conservatives MP, which has removed FACTS, PREVENTED INFORMED DISCUSSIONS & made CATASTROPHIC DECISIONS for ordinary ppl like me & my patients.
7/

Don’t take my word for it, read what experts are saying, look & listen to what is happening across & outside the UK.

There is SO MUCH INFORMATION on how to tackle #COVID19 effectively that doesn’t involve a #letthebodiespilehigh #SurvivalOfTheFittest attitude or “strategy.
8/

England is alone internationally in removing virtually all mitigations & encouraging ppl to behave as of #Covid is “over” whilst the pandemic continues & the #DeltaVariant is very much alive & kicking in the UK👇🏼………..I’ll say that again - 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 IS ALONE!

#COVID19UK
9/

Schools in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 are about to reopen, WITH NO #COVID MITIGATIONs.
Students (my youngest daughter is one of them) will return soon to university/college.
There are no enforced protections in shops, hospitality, workplaces.

You don’t have to be a scientist to know what’ll happen!
10/

So, I urge you (& beg you) - reconsider your #HerdImmunityByInfection “policy” which will lead to 1000s more AVOIDABLE DEATHS, cases of #LongCovid & UNNECESSARY GRIEF….etc.

Read the science & invest in the health/wellbeing of ppl who are not like you…THOSE WITHOUT CHOICES!
11/

Update @PHE_uk @GOVUK advice to reflect the facts.
Dispense w/ costly & falsely reassuring #HygieneTheatre of surface cleaning.
Admit early errors, TELL THE BRITISH PEOPLE they need to consider THE AIR - #HEPA filters, #CO2 monitors, open windows, socialise/educate outdoors.
12/

It is not rocket science……We KNOW how to do this…..but we need the political will & resources to do it!

Over to you @RishiSunak @BorisJohnson @Conservatives @JonAshworth @Keir_Starmer @EdwardJDavey
