1/10👋Morning @krishgm, a number of issues are being completely missed out of current #Covid19 discussions.

Despite protestations from @sajidjavid & @Conservatives to anyone who knows anything about healthcare, this is no longer just about #Covid_19.

ALL HEALTHCARE WILL SUFFER!
2/Everything from cancer care to care for non-urgent but life-affecting conditions is already being affected & will inevitably be more effected if we continue with the current #DoAlmostNothing approach.
@doctor_oxford @doctorshaib @dgurdasani1 @Zubhaque @Dr2NisreenAlwan
3/When the entire system is under such extreme pressure, as it is RIGHT NOW, there is nowhere for ppl to turn.

Across the UK, ppl are waiting for advice, for appointments, for treatment, for ambulances, for therapy, for help RIGHT NOW!

@theAliceRoberts @chrischirp @martinmckee
4/This will result in AVOIDABLE, PREVENTABLE morbidity & very sadly mortality from a wide range of causes….

Cancer, ischaemic heart disease, chronic respiratory disease, chronic musculoskeletal problems…mental health problems & just about everything in between!
@cv_cev @_f4vl
5/ Follow ups are getting further apart, often now offered remotely & advice between such appointments is harder to access.

All of this has consequences!

@DrSimonHodes @HelenRSalisbury @mancunianmedic @DRTomlinsonEP @HZiauddeen @ahmedaftab68 @danielgoyal @DrRaviJ @drmeenalviz
6/ And as for offering any sort of level of PREVENTATIVE HEALTHCARE…that’s for the birds!

Obesity, diabetes, exercise, smoking cessation & alcohol reduction, drug addiction…..Pah!

@yvettedoc50 @sonia_chester @globalhlthtwit @KatyMcconkey @CNagpaul @MartinRCGP @trishgreenhalgh
7/ I have a daughter who’s a junior dr, another who’s a medical student, their training is without doubt sub-optimal!

What exactly does @sajidjavid think is happening to the education & training of the next generation of consultants, GPs, nurses, medical educators…
8/ We are all being told that the pressures on the #NHS are NOT currently unsustainable, by an economist who openly says this👇🏼….

@ChrisCEOHopson @CMO_England @uksciencechief @UKHSA @JonAshworth @AppgCoronavirus @LaylaMoran @CarolineLucas @Matthew_Wright @susannareid100 Image
9/ Well Mr Javid, I beg to differ!

The grotesque & brutal #WifulNegligence of your government is taking 🇬🇧healthcare back decades, affecting 1000s of innocent “ordinary” ppl along the way, who’re viewed as irrelevant collateral damage.

I firmly believe THIS IS THE PLAN! Image
10/ Unconscionable & unforgivable #WilfulNegligence of an entire nation.

Reckless, ignorant, brutal & dishonest!

On your heads be it @Conservatives

1-Hey👋@GillianKeegan yep, I know 😷s aren’t v comfortable when you wear them for hours - WE DO EXACTLY THAT DAY IN DAY OUT!
If you lot would stop behaving like spoilt children those of us trying to keep the #NHS going would have a better chance!

#COVIDisAirborne - oh yes it is! ImageImage
2-I’ve just finished my 8th day of working out of 9…Not all were full days & yes, I know this is nothing special.

My point is, every single hour was spent wearing a 😷!!

Are you suggesting those of us in healthcare DON’T #WearAMask because IT’s UNCOMFORTABLE?

Really?
3- For the millionth time - #COVIDisAirborne (shouting now😬) - unless we all start accepting this FACT & behaving as if we care… A LOT OF PEOPLE are going to die unnecessarily….!

@Jeremy_Hunt - please can you point your party towards #airborne viral transmission reduction!

1/10🧵 - Tragically, a lack of understanding isn’t the only reason @Conservatives are so #antimask.

YES, some have made ludicrous statements about only STRANGERS being a #COVID risk, including our Secretary of State for Avoidable Ill-Health @sajidjavid ….

@doctor_oxford
2 - Remember this car crash👇🏼interview on @SkyNews last month @sajidjavid ?

Shall we run that particular bit of public health advice past genuine experts like @trishgreenhalgh @dgurdasani1 @chrischirp @devisridhar @martinmckee @GabrielScally & all those at @IndependentSage?
3 - ….and how can we forget @Jacob_Rees_Mogg ‘s hilarious explanation yesterday for the lack of 😷s on the #Tory benches.

@LindsayHoyle_MP @OliverDowden @JonAshworth @AWMurrison
(As an aside, could it be time to introduce IQ tests into the application process for MPs 🤔?) Image

1/8 What ppl need to realise now is that @sajidjavid & @BorisJohnson have made it crystal clear that they’re absolutely cushty w/ AVOIDABLE PREVENTABLE DEATHS & SUFFERING OF ANY KIND - #COVID & non-#Covid.

Period.

❗️THEY. DO. NOT. CARE❗️

@10DowningStreet @Conservatives
2/ To completely ignore the desperate pleas of so many clinicians & healthcare leaders about the situation ON THE GROUND IN THE #NHS NOW…shows a level contempt for our expertise & professionalism that is hard to put into polite words.

@ShaunLintern @NHSConfed @rupert_pearse
3/ The really frightening thing is that unlike @sajidjavid & countless @Conservatives repeating ad nauseam the “We are watching the figures very closely” b*ll*cks, we know exactly what such grotesque #WilfulNegligence will actually lead to.

There are many layers to the #Covid19UK human catastrophe but IMO it’s all DELIBERATE @mrjamesob

Not even @BorisJohnson is so ignorant that he can’t understand the seriousness of what is currently unfolding.

The crux is - HE WANTS IT TO HAPPEN!

@sajidjavid @JonAshworth
1/🧵
If you were looking for the perfect foil for the #BrexitShambles & #NHSPrivatisation in one fell swoop AND you wanted to divert attention from the cronyism & corruption being uncovered every single day….you’d create as much chaos, fear & desperation as possible….
2/
….carefully positioning your scapegoats (the EU/drs/nurses/teachers/refugees….

You’d allow #COVIDDisinformation to run riot, including from the @UKHSA (& conveniently replace #PHE), whilst churning out a #COVIDisOver narrative through a compliant media.

Is anyone at @thismorning interested in knowing that #BeverleyTurner is advocating the use of #Ivermectin for “home based treatment” of #COVID19?

Not satisfied w/ the relentless spreading of #COVIDDisinformation she’s now pushing a drug that has no benefit.
1/5
@SunderlandLolly
Anyone would think the #WorldCouncilForHealth had a vested interest in promoting it’s guide and the use of Ivermectin?

@Ofcom @ITV @Matthew_Wright #ThisMorning #BeverleyTurner

And imagine my surprise when I saw the list of Steering Group Members included @AnnadeBuisseret - a prominent #antivaxxer who has been inciting HATRED & VIOLENCE towards HCPs?

Well this is interesting…

I didn’t know that @richardm56 was a signatory on this letter👇🏼 from #UsForThemUK to the then Education Secretary @GavinWilliamson regarding the use of 😷s in UK schools?

@susannareid100 @DrHilaryJones @benshephard @GMB

Would one expect someone with a record of being a #COVIDMinimiser & of spreading #COVIDDisinformation to be presenting a daily breakfast programme with such a large audience?

IMO it’s a question @GMB & @richardm56 must answer!

@SunderlandLolly @mariannaspring @ITV
2/
The list includes some of the usual suspects of course ….@hartgroup_org members - no surprises there!

@DrHoenderkamp & #AllisonPearson obviously wouldn’t have wanted to miss out.

I almost smiled when I saw the name of my old friend #FrancisHoar - such a nice chap!
