My 20 year old student daughter was taken by ambulance to Manchester Royal Infirmary in the early hours of this morning, as she was vomiting, had a very high heart rate, a fever, a cough and felt extremely unwell, so clearly infectious 1/

@MFT_MRI
#Quaddemic @MFT_MRI I'm very glad an ambulance was available but:

-why did paramedics not put a mask on her when they arrived? She may have now infected them. Will they be sick in a few days? Will they asymptomatically infect other patients they are taking to hospital? 2/

What a difference to my amazing dental practice

At my request they arranged early am appt, both dentist & assistant wore fit tested PPE, window was open with CO2 at just over 600ppm, and I had my Smart purifier running during the X rays

Image My amazing dental practice also called me yesterday to say hygienist had sniffles, had tested COVID negative but knowing tests are not 100% accurate, wanted to give me the chance to rebook which I have.

Now that's real health*CARE*

Almost every time people, often still stunned by what has just happened to them, are interviewed after the latest #climatechange amplified disaster, they say the same thing: 'Shocking. I've never seen anything like it.' In a #ClimateEmergency we need a WWII style mobilisation Formed in 2015, The Climate Mobilzation mission is to
initiate a WWII-scale mobilisation to reverse global warming and the mass extinction of species in order to protect humanity and the natural world from climate catastrophe.

Lying in bed looking at the flood map of the UK and thinking about my parents' home in Hull which flooded for the first time in 2007, my relative's home in Cumbria, which flooded for the 1st time in 2015, my sister who had to be rescued from a flooded road during the same storm.. ..their friends who had to be rescued out of first floor bedrooms, my ex whose workplace took in bedraggled villagers as the River Eamont swallowed the heart of the village, my brother's firefighter colleagues who could not save the man whose foot had become trapped..
