Loved the family's reaction when we told them there were German Shepherd puppies! ❤ #TheDogHouse @Wood_Green

After these German Shepherd puppies were rejected by their mother, it’s up to Wood Green to find them the perfect homes. And they’re doing a pretty good job. #TheDogHouse🐶

I work the front desk at a small doctor’s office, and I wish people could see what happens on the other side of the phone. Every day, older patients call us confused.

They are told to use the patient portal, upload documents, check lab results online, fill out forms before the visit, and confirm everything through a link. Some of them do not know what a portal is.

Some do not have a smartphone.
Some have one, but they are afraid to click the wrong thing.
Last week, a man in his late 80s called about his test results.

He said, “Ma’am, I don’t mean to bother you, but the computer says I have a message and I don’t know how to open it.”
He sounded ashamed.
That broke my heart.

He should not have to feel ashamed for needing a human being.
Technology can be helpful. I understand that.

But when people who built this country are made to feel helpless because everything became a login and a password, we have gone too far.
Not everything needs to be an app.
Not every answer should be hidden behind a screen.

Sometimes people need a voice.
A patient person.
A real human who says, “Don’t worry, I can help you.”
Progress should not leave seniors behind.

Because one day, the world will move faster than us too.
And I hope someone is kind enough to slow down.

Just watching a report on an ITU in Liverpool where they are totally overwhelmed by covid patients. We are not far away from this in Wales and it is fit and well young patients (30’s, 40’s, 50’s) just like you and I who are ending up in ITU. Something needs to change

As the number of people wearing masks out and about has increased, we must be mindful that this can be unsettling for dogs. Lindsay, a Behavioural and Training Specialist at Wood Green, is on hand to offer some tips to help them cope: https://t.co/CE3ewbVB1z

@HalifaxBank No that's not good enough. We spoke to Halifax at least 3 times last week, none of the calls were on hold for this length of time. The system the bank has set up is not helping those who need help. They need more on the phones and less on social media.

[AliLenihan @LenihanAli]

@HalifaxBank Also, why in earth has it taken you seconds to reply and yet I am still in good after ...1 hour and 31 minutes?!!

[AliLenihan @LenihanAli]

@HalifaxBank Yes in behalf of a 75 year old whose wife has just passed away. He urgently needs to set up new Direct Debits for bills including insurances. He received his security pass code this morning.

Y’all have the money, and the energy to grab all the toilet paper in the store. Are you that full of shit to panic buy like that? Just shop regularly and there should be enough for everyone! Please consider those who really need it. For instance. #panicshopping #COVID19

[Rebecca Gould @beccaleigh99]

As a freelance artist there is no way I could have survived this. There wasn’t a safety net and I was living month to month. When my dad died it took me two years to recover from the lost income and I had to move out of my lovely flat. Which is why I’m supporting #gigsaid

Has no one told @BorisJohnson most of his voters are over 70? What the fuck is this idiot doing? Test people you fucking moron. Close the schools and turn them into local testing centres. Screen airport arrivals. Do something you buffoon. #ukcoronavirus #coronaUK

[AliLenihan @LenihanAli]

@DrDMacaskill What important points you are making about this country's over 65s on @BBCNewsnight Well said. I applaud you. And I just hope we all step up to the mark over the next few months.
