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!
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!
And tomorrow, I’m going to ponder🤔 on whether to have a shower, brush my teeth, wear some shoes, use loo roll, wear a seat belt, stop at traffic lights…
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 ….
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.
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.
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.
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.
3/
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?
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?
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?
