Utterly soul destroying when patients say they spent xmas day with extended family and now everyone is positive for covid. Especially when I am hearing this from patients gasping for breath in the resuscitation room of ED. Completely predictable and entirely avoidable.

I’ve been in hospitals all over the country this past fortnight, they’re all running hot. #NHS teams who haven’t stopped since March are facing a rapid new surge in #Covid19 cases. They need your help. Stay at home where you can. Wear a mask & keep your distance where you can’t.

Sad but true. Not so much for the miners who were in the NUM and have a tradition of solidarity, but certainly true for the next generations. No unions in the sandwich factories and warehouse many work in now @chakrabortty

A typically thoughtful piece from @DavidJ_Brindle, using all of his 32 years’ experience reporting on #socialcare. What a loss to the @guardian he will be. theguardian.com/society/2020/d…
