Replying to @BorisJohnson
Doctor here. Front line NHS. A plea to continue testing in the community Without it we lose our only chance to keep on top of this, to know what's coming & to prepare. We will be operating in the dark and make no mistake, it will be a dark place.

"We got a decision that is not competent, certainly negligent, and a betrayal of health care workers. @BMA_NI's Dr Tom Black says Northern Ireland should be placed in a national lockdown, rather than the circuit breaker extended by a week. #KayBurley trib.al/tztl9sm

Too early to declare the ‘Best Christmas advert’ for 2020? I think we have a winner.

In six weeks time remember how we got here & how the DUP vetoed medical advice We're reopening with community cases at a very high level, hospitals at >100% capacity & our ICUs full of COVID An unnecessary third wave will surpass anything we've seen before This helps no-one
We're going to see this a lot more over time Hoping (& expecting) milder illness second time round! Best of luck Rachel!
Someone is having a fucking laugh! Antibody positive in mid-July after being ill in March and now PCR positive. If any of my lovely research friends want any samples, let me know! You will have to wait 10 days though. Get tested Liverpool! #masstestingsaveslives #masstesting

Vaccine distribution is going to be messy Finite doses & finite ability to distribute Let's hope the private sector are barred from involvement Should go to the most in need not, as is always the case, those who can pay

So Trump oversaw 100,000 COVID cases a day in US Biden's been voted in 48hours and we have a vaccine
Everyone (even cardiologists!) are entitled to personal opinion even if at odds with the vast majority of their peers & professional bodies But they need to be aware of the consequences of writing public letters - for some, this will be justification for downplaying pandemic

Over the second peak by the looks of it. This felt much worse & will probably have a slower decline but well done to everyone Let's try & ensure we don't see a third wave in January/February!

Have to worry that Trump, as bitter as he is, will do everything he can in the next two months to make life as difficult for Biden for when he eventually takes office Tough job ahead for Joe Biden

Get in Joe my son!
For anyone doubting the validity of the UK “projections” we only have to look at France for what could have happened if we didn’t intervene early Thoughts with our friends across the channel
French Health Minister Olivier Véran: "The second wave is here, and it's brutal."
Strong warnings from across our Health & Social Care system on the scale of current pressures, those messages are being heard loud & clear. Thanks to all our health workers across the entire system and their families, for all you are doing, it is appreciated. – at Northern Ireland, United Kingdom
