@Drgerardwhite @Magnet4Europe @SIVUH @rachelf80702456 @uccnursmid @NMPDUCorkKerry @BridAOSullivan You can’t underestimate the power of a decent induction and orientation to a department. Too few clinical facilitators in the organisation still.

People want it spelt out, here it is. It’s up to adults to be responsible and protect our kids(and their teachers) in schools. #limityourcontacts #handwashing #avoidcrowds #distance #facecovering

@BC_Gemma Amazing to see them!

[Paddy Mallon @HIVTox]

@GregCantyFuzion Here's my plan:
1. Go home tonight, have a beer & scream at the TV at irregular intervals
2. Tomorrow, wake up, smile and avoid other people
3. Wash hands, masks etc etc etc
4. Repeat steps 2 & 3 till numbers come back down
5. Make sure this doesn't happen again!

If we can only have 6 people in our houses, how can we have 30 children in a classroom? It’s a reasonable question. But it’s not a contradiction; in fact, these measures are connected and coherent. The following explanation is a simplification, but illustrates the principle. 1/8

@ESBNetworks Thank you!

[Adrian McGoldrick @AdrianAmcgold]

This morning I tweeted an article from yesterday’s New York Times. The reason was that I had asymptomatic Covid in May. Last week I was diagnosed with Myocarditis -inflammation of the heart post Covid. My message is that this Virus is potentially very deadly-please follow advice.

[Elaine O'Farrell @LaineyOF]

How many close contacts have you had in the past 14 days?

If you got sick this afternoon, how many people could the virus have potentially spread to?

We need to consciously choose who we meet so that we limit our contacts.

Can’t comprehend how people have 50 close contacts?

[Professor Philip Nolan @PhilipNolan_MU]

One fundamental message today. The virus is spreading. The rate of spread depends on the number of close contacts we each have per day. Sadly we need to reduce our social and recreational contacts to a minimum, in small groups, so we can be together for caring, learning and work.

[Simon Harris TD @SimonHarrisTD]

Let’s be honest, often people aren’t keeping physical distance & we are allowing the number of close contacts we have to rise & rise. This is not sustainable. I know how tough it is. We are all tired but we need to all get back on top of this. It’s up to us. We’ve come too far

[Elaine O'Farrell @LaineyOF]

@DorothyBreen2 @CUHimprovers Absolutely. Leaders must empower all HCPs to be vulnerable enough to propose ideas for solutions/change Everyone must feel free/brave to contribute to change. The best ideas may come from the quietest people.

Please look at this great graphic showing why wearing your mask down under your chin is a super bad idea. Thank you #WearAMaskPlease
