"This crisis will only become real to most once someone they know dies"
Sadly I think this assessment by @benatipsosmori is all too true.

@ruskin147 Watching the NHSX tracing app debacle unfold, my mind goes back to Jeremy Hunt's announcement at 2017 NHS Expo that there would be an NHS app - and the obvious pressure on NHS Digital to deliver asap no matter what...

[Breda Corish @BredaCorish]

Exactly....

[Andy Cowper @HPIAndyCowper]

How will anyone know that the NHS test and trace advisors are legit?

Mainly over here 👉 @N16Breda

[Breda Corish @BredaCorish]

Today I gave bed linen to the North & East London team of #ForTheLoveOfScrubs who are making laundry bags for London Ambulance frontline staff. #LondonTogether
It's inspiring that #volunteers are doing this - but shocking that it's needed.

@SecretNHSCEO Not sure if the Home Sec is applying the "RTs are not endorsements" rule today 🙄

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

Actual Downing Street trolling now.

"With each passing day, what is currently in charge of our country and its health and care system feels less like a government and more like an auto-satirising machine: one that is Dadaist in philosophy and Heath Robinson in design"
Exactly @HPIAndyCowper

Excellent points made here by @mayorofhackney about the need for #coronavirusuk #ContactTracers plan to draw on local authority expertise - especially given the impact of #DigitalExclusion. Not everyone has a smartphone @PHE_uk @MattHancock

[Mayor of Hackney @mayorofhackney]

So if @PHE_uk only have 220ish contact tracers, rather than centrally recruit 18,000 volunteers why don't they build out from local multi-disciplinary teams led by councils & CCGs. We've a strong local health system in Hackney with expertise in the Council, @CityHackneyCCG 👇1/4

A moving tribute to a full life lived in adversity & triumph. Example and testament to the rich immigrant contributions that have helped shape Britain. Condolences @chakrabortty 💚

It's not enough to just #ClapForTheNHS Questions need to be answered by government. How did this happen? "...gowns, visors, swabs and body bags were not included in the pandemic stockpile."
#BBCPanorama

[BBC Panorama @BBCPanorama]

There were no gowns, visors, swabs or body bags in the government's pandemic stockpile when Covid-19 reached the UK, BBC Panorama has uncovered.

The government said it has taken the right steps and is doing everything it can to increase stocks.

A tale of "How hard can it be?" - a mad tale indeed 😬

[Peter Foster @pmdfoster]

NEW: The inside story of the Ventilator Challenge - the muddled thinking, the wasted time the political egoism. It's a mad tale. Stay with me. Me with my superb @ft colleague @Michael_Pooler 1/Thread

".it is sobering to reflect that the reason these latest two reviews are needed is at best logistical (why are the PPE supplies in the wrong place?) & perhaps also political (why wasn’t procuring & distributing adequate supplies for all groups of staff prioritised?)"

@DigitalGerry @UBSixT @HSJEditor @RishiSunak @doyle_yg Did you see this Gerry?
"researchers from International Long Term Care Policy Network (LTCPN) found the most robust data was available in Ireland where, as of Saturday, 54% of deaths from coronavirus occurred in care homes"

@_kittybitty Enjoy! Layers of health policy wonk stuff but much more informative than regular news media.

[Breda Corish @BredaCorish]

@_kittybitty Katherine, for detailed technical & policy analysis of how the UK healthcare system is coping, I'd recommend @HSJnews - equivalent of a specialist trade journal for all things NHS-related. You can register for free access to Covid19 news coverage.
