UN chief @AntonioGuterres: 360 million people worldwide need humanitarian assistance – up 30 percent since the start of last year. Chronic underfunding is “a crisis within a crisis”. @UNECOSOC #HAS meets in Geneva to find solutions.

#VoteReject. Shame on @theRCN for accepting this poor offer. I pay my membership fee for the RCN to fight for nurses and NOT the ‘Agenda for change’ pay. You’ve got it so wrong and this is turning into the 2018 misrepresented nhs pay deal disaster, when you lost members!

[The RCN @theRCN]

The new NHS pay offer in England:

- Has vital commitments on safe staffing
- Adds to this and next year's pay
- Wouldn't have happened without your action

Members have the final say.

Vote now in our consultation: https://t.co/1WMhCWhZNw

Please read this and vote ‘No’ for the government’s ludicrous NHS pay offer. 👇🏾

I have reworked my thread on the NHS pay deal having read more about it. The argument I make is the same, but the data is slightly different, so this is version 2 of why the NHS is at very real risk because of this deal. A thread….

We all paid Michelle Mone's company millions of pounds for useless PPE - but our nurses are having to strike for a fair wage. Follow the money with @DrMeenalViz

@Jeremy_Hunt seriously consider the impact this is having on patient safety. Please don’t continue making the same mistakes - pay nurses what they deserve. This profession is undervalued. Serious action needs to be taken although it sadly may be too late!

Living with #covid…shouldn’t mean ignoring covid #CovidIsNotOver #WearAMask The pressures on #nhs is enormous.

[Dr Dan Goyal @danielgoyal]

Flu normally kills 4 per day.

Covid is currently killing around 100 per day.

This is higher than any other infectious disease.

Therefore, in absolute terms, the risk of death from Covid (as a population) is over 20 X higher than Flu.

Based on the spike gene target data from TaqPath, BA.2 made up 82% of COVID cases in England on 6th March - It has now almost taken over
We know that BA.2 has higher transmission than Omicron and there are a number of examples from Denmark of BA.2 reinfection shortly after BA.1
