Dr Fauci said it would be great if Brad Pitt played him on TV. So Brad did. Heartwarming ending too. #COVID19

Fake news has been circulating on social media that the first volunteer in the Oxford vaccine trial has died. This is not true! I spent several minutes this morning chatting with Elisa Granato via Skype. She is very much alive and told me she is feeling “absolutely fine”

My interpretation of Boris Johnson this evening: the pandemic of COVID-19 in the UK is much more serious than we have been led to believe. Johnson was unusually serious, fists clenched, no jokes about squashing sombreros.

The switch to “stay alert” is an act of appeasement to those in his party who don’t understand how serious this disease is (remember, Boris Johnson does). Be clear about what he said: we are Level 4 in his new alert system, and that’s after 7 weeks of lockdown. Not good at all.

He was clear that we are only just R<1. That gives us no headroom for error. The epidemic in care homes is definitely not under control and we are nowhere near ready for test, trace, isolate.

So excited to join this incrediable Team!!🥳

I missed this. Wow

My extremely hard working other half Tommy Rampling had his much loved Bicicletas Giant defy 4 2009 stolen from our Islington Council bike hangar last night. I have reported Metropolitan Police. It had this very unusual bike seat and shimano ultegra wheels. If anyone could share to help find 🤞

A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT!

Exactly 9 months ago, just after 5am UK time on the 12 January, the first BBC TV report ran about the death of a man in central China from a peculiar new disease. Officials insisted it was all under control and would be nothing like the 2008 SARS outbreak which killed 770 people.

Here is a webinar that should be great to tune in to! If you are keen to work out what all the fuss is about with regards to #RegionalAnaesthesia & #PlanABlocks - this is not to be missed. I am sure it will be enlightening for all! Book here... rcoa.ac.uk/events/rcoa-ra…
