Away from Cummings, today's case data makes pretty clear we are on an upward slope again. Infection rates are now 25% higher than on May 3. Given what we've been hearing today: what's the plan?

Whoever is telling the truth in the Cummings/Hancock saga it doesn’t change the fact the Government has been criminally negligent & the consequence of that has been catastrophic Everyone needs to watch this

Priti fucking vacant. #JohnsonVariant #PritiAwful #PritiPatel

1. LONG THREAD (25+ tweets sorry) of my somewhat depairing musings on Covid. Where we are, how we got here, why I'm sad about it.

The more you watch this the more shocking it becomes. How is this Government getting away with it?

“Are they fucking mad?” Whatever happened to, 'We must protect the NHS'? Understaffed, underpaid, under-bedded and now a deliberate wave of #COVID19 cases and consequent hospital admissions. Dr Rachel Clarke Dr Rachel Clarke is rightly disgusted.

"Instead of being equated with 'zero covid,' elimination of SARS-CoV-2 in a population could be defined as 'achievement of a situation in which outbreaks of covid-19 are extinguished eventually, with no continuing widespread transmission.'” ow.ly/Dnfw50Fy4g0

NHS workers are NOT being "spared" self-isolation rules. We are being sacrificed.

THREAD: I wrote a piece for The BMJ on England's (lack of) a school strategy and how England is isolated in its apparent unconcern over high cases in kids... blogs.bmj.com/bmj/2021/08/20… 1/9

Three weeks into the new school year I get the distinct impression that this is going to be an intense winter for families. Not just because of COVID. Half of my son’s nursery is ill, not with Covid, but with one of the many bugs the children didn’t get over the last 18 months.

COVID hospitalisation rates lower than previous due to vaccinations but UK still highest amongst comparator nations- 3x France, 6x Italy, 15x Spain. These are real people admitted to hospital with illness and surely ministers should want better outcomes for our citizens

The situation in the Midlands is "dreadful" according to a leaked briefing to West Midlands Ambulance Service #HelpUsHelpYou staff - equivalent of 100 shifts was lost on Monday this week due to delays at A&E units:

The worst eight areas in England for Covid rates at the moment are all in the South West… And the region most-affected by those thousands of incorrect PCR test results over the last month was… Yup.

🚨 In a survey of 451 NHS leaders in England, 87% believe a lack of staffing in the NHS is putting patient safety+care at risk 🚨 Tell Sajid Javid to stop gaslighting staff & take responsibility. #DemandJavidsPlan Sign👉 bit.ly/DemandJavidsPl… Source: theguardian.com/society/2021/n…

Starting to get a bit annoyed about this... Let us be clear: If we are forced into heavier social restrictions (e.g. circuit breakers/lockdowns) the BLAME sits more with those who supported Mass Infection, and NOT on those who tried to stop the spread. Rant 1/5

As they go back to a largely unmitigated classroom, I find it extremely hard to stomach that my children will not be offered the chance to be vaccinated in preference to them being infected by this virus.

Pipe down Avian Flu, no ones in the mood for this bull!
