This is a long piece. But it’s sheer class all the way through. https://t.co/bVZVV6pcBN

A plea. If you are a library that regularly provides inter library loans, please consider waiving the requirement that they be read only in the library. We have a pandemic on, and some researchers are vulnerable.

We would like to say a massive thank you to The Coopers who dropped this off today! These will certainly keep the team going for a while ❤️

@tiger22378424 @ianburton1976 @MattHancock If you work in intensive care then I'm glad where you are is clearly coping. If you dont work in intensive care, then dont make sweeping comments about things you know little about it. The reality is hideous.

The help that came in the first wave is now gone, months ago.

[LizzieG @LG92tbmd]

@tiger22378424 @ianburton1976 @MattHancock It's not coping though. It's not the general wards people are thinking about that are struggling, it's the critical care/intensive care bed pressures that cant cope, because there isnt enough intensive care trained staff for the demand, let alone bed capacity.

@johnlmoore @LarcombePeter @Injustice1987 I would be interested to know how that correlates to which hospital and how. Where I work we have additional areas set up for critical care capacity which are full because of covid. Be interested to know if the stats include these additional beds as normal occupancy capacity.

@Injustice1987 @gregsmith_uk @SteveBakerHW The hospitals struggle with staffing as it is. It's all well and good saying use the Nightingale hospitals which havent been used. But there isnt the work force to safely staff it.

[LizzieG @LG92tbmd]

@Injustice1987 @gregsmith_uk @SteveBakerHW Not in intensive care it's not.

[LizzieG @LG92tbmd]

@Injustice1987 @gregsmith_uk @SteveBakerHW And tell me, who can staff it?

[LizzieG @LG92tbmd]

@IanSensed @gregsmith_uk @janekin24 Come work in intensive care and then decide if the NHS is coping.

It's not the wards that struggle always, it's intensive care capacity and the specialist staff who you cant just train up overnight. That's where the struggle and hold up lies at the moment.

[LizzieG @LG92tbmd]

@paultinay @gregsmith_uk Cook it all anyway and make your own freezer meals. Or portion it up and send some to the people who were meant to be with you and enjoy it together separately

[LizzieG @LG92tbmd]

@Injustice1987 @gregsmith_uk @SteveBakerHW We dont have critical care capacity for every patient who may need it, individuals can deteriorate quickly with covid and without measures like this, then peoples chance against the virus is reduced if there isnt the advanced healthcare to help them, should they get that poorly.

Boris Johnson is watching from the sidelines while a generation of young people are being robbed of their future.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

NHS staff are absolutely brilliant but have suffered a pay freeze, under-funding and under-staffing.
Now it’s time to pay them properly, guarantee secure jobs and end privatisation.
My support to all of our wonderful NHS workers protesting for a pay rise today.
