It’s exactly the same as absolutely ludicrous instructions to the 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿public to “proceed with caution” & “remain vigilant” given by @BorisJohnson & @Conservatives in July.

In the weeks since Jul 19, we’ve seen the slow but sure abandonment of #COVID restrictions
V few 😷s in indoor public places, 5-10% ppl are still wearing them, if that.

Festivals are happening, nightclubs are open, there’s virtually nothing that’s out of #Covid19UK bounds.
2/
#SocialDistancing gone!

Restrictions on numbers gathering anywhere gone!

“But don’t worry guys, as long as you wash your hands singing Happy Birthday” & coat yourself liberally in hand gel, the #DeltaVariant (OF AN AIRBORNE🦠) won’t get you!”

❗️England is now a very dangerous place to live❗️

That is not a hysterical “I don’t want to #LiveWithCovid type statement.

That is a fact!

There’s a global pandemic going on but ppl here in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿have been fooled into believing that they are DIFFERENT… EXCEPTIONAL perhaps?

I say this w/ some confidence having just spent 4/7 in Palma, a city one must surely describe as a lively, sociable place which thrives on human interaction.

I’ve resisted mentioning I left the UK but it’s my duty to report the stark differences btn the 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿/🇬🇧 & 🇪🇸 approach.
5/
I must just add that we were due to spend the bank holiday/our wedding anniversary weekend in Cornwall, here👇🏼….

Not surprisingly we agreed it was far too risky to go.

#G7 #Boardmasters #Holidays @PHE_uk

Slightly anxiously we agreed to head abroad.
#Palma did not disappoint - it is as beautiful & enchanting as I remember it & to our added delight it felt incredibly #COVID safe EVERYWHERE!

It was v obvious that ppl CARED!
7/
From the moment we boarded the plane, the difference was clear.

At the 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿airport ppl behaved as if #COVID had gone away & stared at us with bemusement when they saw us wearing 😷s!

In 🇪🇸, everyone >6 is expected to #WearAMask indoors - shops/bars/restaurants/museums/taxis…
7/
In 27deg heat, waiters/ chefs, kitchen/hotel staff, tour guides, shop workers, taxi drivers…. - ALL STAFF WEARING 😷s indoors & OUT!

The minute you step indoors, you are expected to don a 😷 & only remove it when sitting eating/drinking or when you leave - no ifs, no buts!
8/
The only ppl of any nationality that we observed NOT following Spanish public health advice during the entire 4 days were from 🇬🇧, in particular 2 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿ppl staying in the same hotel, who were repeatedly seen maskless indoors.
9/
The sense of disappointment when travelling back through an 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿airport, stopping at a busy service station & going to a supermarket back in Newcastle was quite overwhelming…..Dystopian in fact!
10/
It had been truly liberating to be somewhere where there was a sense of #CollectiveResponsibility again, where ppl were having a really enjoyable time WHILST still respecting the health & wellbeing of others around them.
11/
And I must just add for my HCP colleagues that #PPE Majorcan style is far superior to ours…..This is the chap doing PCR/LFT swabs…Not a plastic apron or FRSM in sight!

@PHE_uk @TheBMA @KatyMcconkey @sonia_chester @drmeenalviz @DrSimonHodes @yvettedoc50 @HelenRSalisbury
12/ Image
As 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿schools return with virtually no #COVID19 mitigations this week, the sense of dread amongst HCPs, parents & staff is real.

Tragically, v few others seem to be bothered….. A dangerous mix of ignorance & selfish #MeMeMe attitude has engulfed our nation.

Now I’m getting really angry @GavinWilliamson @educationgovuk

This document isn’t t worth the paper/screen it’s written on!

Who advised you on this unscientific, dangerous nonsense?

@PHE_uk by any chance?
The same PHE that has failed HCPs on #PPE throughout the pandemic?
1/16
Just for a moment put the children, staff & families who’re being unnecessarily exposed to #COVID19 day after day in schools that are almost completely MITIGATION FREE.

Who’ll be caring for #COVID patients in the INEVITABLE, but AVOIDABLE surge that we’re at the start of?
2/
WHO Mr Williamson?

My HCP/NHS colleagues have for 18/12, & will continue to, put our lives, & those of our loved ones, at ⬆️risk to provide the care that patients w/ #COVID19 need across ALL healthcare settings & in their homes.

Day in day out!

For anyone who hasn’t realised just how deep the #BackToNormal lunacy runs, take a look at some of the “nearly 50” @Conservatives who are actively supporting @UsforThemUK’s dangerous & irresponsible campaign to make 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿schools #COVID19 MITIGATION-FREE!

1/12
The ring-leader is @SteveBakerHW, of #CRG AND #ERG fame. Neither he or his #CRG mate @Mark_J_Harper appear to have any understanding of #airborne viral transmission.
Mr Harper’s clearly also a fan of the unscientific & reckless #LivingWithCovid mindset.

2/
But it’d be unfair to give @halfon4harlowMP ALL the credit for causing unnecessary harm & suffering.

Several other high profile @Conservatives are members of the @UsforThemUK support group.

Some of the “usual suspects”-

This is v disturbing from @halfon4harlowMP
Could it represent a CHILD SAFEGUARDING ISSUE on a NATIONAL SCALE?
It’s clear that the CHAIR of @CommonsEd has absolutely no understanding of the significance of the #COVID19 #DeltaVariant & is a cheer leader of #COVIDIsOver idiocy!
1/9
Watch it for yourself….his entire focus is on PRE-PANDEMIC “NORMALITY” for SCHOOLS, pushing back against bubbles, any sort of restrictions & makes no mention at all of how to protect CV/CEV children, families or staff as cases rise.
@ChildrensComm @Rachel_deSouza @cv_cev
2/
His views on consent for 12-15yr olds are obvious.
Is it possible he will be able to intervene in @CMO_England’s decision?
Does he have training in advising <16yr olds on such important matters?
Has he even heard of #GillickCompetency?

If we consider the age groups of schoolchildren & their parents & the overall numbers of #COVID cases currently, the return to 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿schools will almost certainly result in a rapid increase in infections that is avoidable, unnecessary & predictable.
1/9 ImageImageImage
That the vast majority of schoolchildren <16yrs have been DENIED ACCESS to an @MHRAgovuk approved vaccination & that the #JCVI assessment did not include deaths from #COVID, #LongCovid, effects on parents/close family, educational disruption etc is shocking in itself!
2/
How can the #JCVI not consider at all that most schools have zero effective mitigations to ⬇️transmission of #airborne🦠s & that children/staff will no longer #WearAMask , putting schoolchildren & unvaccinated staff at significant risk of exposure to #coronavirus 5/7 a week?
3/ Image

Why would the #JCVI make such a narrow & limited assessment?

And why would their remit be confined to serious illness & hospitalisations in children from #COVID19 when there are so many other issues to consider?

Anyone?

@MHRAgovuk @RCPCHtweets @CMO_England @uksciencechief
1/9
Not to consider #LongCovidKids when so many children are affected is utterly bizarre?

Who advised them not to include #LongCovid?
Does this omission not make their conclusion null & void?

@dgurdasani1 @chrischirp @Zubhaque @Dr2NisreenAlwan @IndependentSage @LongCovidKids
2/
Why not “look at” deaths #JCVI?

The number of children dying of #COVID is thankfully v small, but it is not zero.

We should be aiming for NO CHILD deaths from a disease that we have a safe vaccine against & know how to ⬇️ transmission of.
Why aren’t we?

The thread from April👇🏼 is especially relevant as 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿schools reopen w/ almost ZERO MITIGATIONs to ⬇️#coronavirus transmission/protect people.

Sept 1st 21 -“numbers” many English ppl have become immune to, a stark reminder of a @Conservatives brutal #LivingWithCovid “policy”.
1/16
Almost 36,000 new cases.
842 hospital admissions.
207 deaths.

That is roughly 37,000 individuals/families affected by #COVID, yesterday alone!
And potentially 3,600 more cases of #LongCovid to boot!

This is what #LivingWithCovid looks like folks!

@sajidjavid @JonAshworth
2/
And by pure coincidence this is what a lazy, ignorant, selfish, cruel & greedy “strategy” against a global pandemic looks like too.

It is NO ACCIDENT!

This is the purest form of #SurvivalOfTheFittest, a plan so grotesque I didn’t think it possible in modern Britain.
