Dear Tweeples,
I'm thinking about starting a campaign.
Healthcare provision for people with Covid-19 is far too inadequate in the UK. It does not even meet WHO standards for a low-resource setting.
With #Omicron on the horizon, I felt it was time to call for more #CareForCovid.

To date, Covid-19 cases in the UK:
1. Receive no initial assessment (triage)
2. Have no formal follow-up service - not even the high risk patients.
At the moment even an 80yr old can contract Covid and receive no contact from any healthcare professional. UNACCEPTABLE!

Finally,
3. Healthcare capacity.
To try and tackle a pandemic without increasing healthcare capacity (beds) is perhaps even more barmy. The UK is the only country I know of that has reduced their bed capacity during the pandemic. Everyone suffers!

So, I will be posting on each of these issues and making the (quite obvious) arguments for providing these basic aspects of a pandemic response.
I would hugely appreciate your support.
And anyone wishing to join in or if you have an idea for a post please DM/reply.
Warmest,

Thanks @Neesh_bloggs
In England, oximetry@home is available for all symptomatic COVIDs over 65yrs OR those at high risk, OR anyone the GP is concerned about. It is a great service...likely saving lives daily.
Access is an issue. You are not automatically offered the service. Ask
