Morning @RishiSunak if you’ve got a moment, please could you read this👇🏼& explain to the 🇬🇧public, many of whom are experiencing significant hardship atm…
I’d have hoped you were chasing every penny to support ppl through this unprecedented crisis, rather than turning a blind eye to such blatant corruption & cronyism!
Just think how many ppl you could help if you FOUND that money?!
The situation in the #NHS is as bad as I’ve ever known it.
Multiple HCWs in our area are off sick with #COVID - nurses, consultants, GPs…all likely to be triple vaxed so they should avoid serious illness but still a risk of #LongCovid.
Operations, procedures, investigations, treatments, therapies….are delayed & cancelled every single day.
Waits for urgent care in A+E/UTCs is ⬆️, pressure on the ambulance service⬆️.
Care ACROSS the #NHS is being negatively affected by staff absences & a lack of beds.
2/
Care in some areas is no longer safe, in many it can only be described as ‘adequate’.
As @RachaelMaskell points out, hospitalisations are ⬆️….A LOT! Even admissions for other problems will be made more challenging if the patient has #COVID19.
The government’s plan for ‘Living SAFELY with Covid’ is a terrifying joke. The key to their ‘strategy’ is to conceal the truth & allow spread to continue unchecked.
Even the @UKHSA is urging caution - surely that should raise alarm bells 🚨!
After all, they gave us the limited & inaccurate list of #COVID symptoms, mixed messaging on testing & ‘you can only catch #COVID from ppl you don’t know’ BS.
2- If 🇬🇧school kids had been offered vaccination like their international peers, the health, wellbeing & education of 1000s would’ve been better protected & countless lives could’ve been saved!
British exceptionalism has caused so much avoidable harm & suffering!
3- At what point will @10DowningStreet@educationgovuk & members of the #JCVI reflect on whether they’ve abused their power & failed an entire generation?
2/You know the pain of losing a loved one to #COVID19, but are willing to subject millions of others to that pain to save @BorisJohnson, a man devoid of a moral compass or a shred of integrity & humanity!
#PrimeMinister do you really understand the seriousness & gravity of what you’ve done?
You have today signed the unnecessary death warrants of 1000s of innocent ppl & consigned many 1000s of others to long term debilitating illness.🧵 @BorisJohnson@10DowningStreet@sajidjavid
2-Despite the determination to use a #RideTheWave analogy…
THIS IS NOT A GAME!
The lives (& avoidable deaths) of ordinary people may not bother you #PrimeMinister but they do bother my #NHS colleagues & I, & it pains us not to be able to care for people appropriately & safely.
3-The #NHS is NOT “in danger of being overwhelmed”
IT IS OVERWHELMED RIGHT NOW!
How anyone w/ even an iota of understanding of healthcare can’t see, that for ppl having an MI or other v serious event the need to make their own way to 🏥 is both UNSAFE & UNACCEPTABLE! #nhscrisis
