First do no harm - a thread

At the very outset of #covid feb 2020 we really had 1 main expert to listen to.

Before the myriad ten a penny experts in this, that and the other we listened to @CMO_England

And many of us still do when we can but his voice is often drowned out
1/ And at the start of the pandemic @CMO_England talked of something I have never forgotten.

Because it was holistic and not just unilaterally focused on the single threat of covid.

He talked of four categories of death we would face with the pandemic

A (very personal) thread from me and @adam_cannon

So we just spent Jewish new year as we always do - friends, family, eating, honey cake, synagogue...

And it’s all been the same as normal as it has been for the last 40 years that I can remember until last night... Last night the conversation moved on from schools, and TV, and work to the subject on every Jew’s mind at the moment: Corbyn.

And we sat for hours planning with our friends where and how we would leave if he became Prime Minister. We swapped potential passport options.
