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.

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

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
