@MattHancock What about those who are shielding in greater Manchester, what advice to them come 1st of August?

[Michael Yee Chiu @MichaelYeeChiu1]

@BBCBreakfast @louiseminchin Little Common sense in current approach. Better to meet nearer home in a garden. Also not appropriate in a garden centre or park with dozens of people around. Minimise exposure amd need to travel etc.

How well do you understand COPD? Great quick test to try.

@DrSarahJarvis @Amy_bclarke Many patients have been missed. We have generated our own letters to our patients. In first few days we have had 60 to 100 calls a day to our helpline asking for advice. #COVID19 #rheumatoidarthritis

https://t.co/tdQofMLHwh #COVID19 make sure practice is based on solid peer reviewed evidence. HQL for Covid19 treatment. Further research needed.

@MartineBBC mat Hancock appears to be just making up the testing targets as he goes along. Hasn't even achieved his first targets! Like trying to run a marathon when you can't even do a 5k.

[Michael Yee Chiu @MichaelYeeChiu1]

@MaxKonigMD Absolutely, we cant take short cuts and throw out common sense.

[Michael Yee Chiu @MichaelYeeChiu1]

@DrSarahJarvis Totally agree, what is wrong with him?arrogant disregard...will he be on a ventilator? YES, will he infect others? YES, will he regret it? YES....

What do people think of the Covid -19 risk stratification for patients on immunosupression from the BSR? Is it me or does it seem overly complicated. The message needs to be simple. It is already hard enough for public to follow, social distancing and government/PHE advice.

Ethiopia Medics 2020 https://t.co/2rVFWHwDf4. Thank you to all who supported our mission. We saw 400 children, adults and school staff. Issued 69 pairs of glasses, issued hearing aids, clothing and food aid. FAITH, GOD AND MISSION. Next mission 2021

[Michael Yee Chiu @MichaelYeeChiu1]

@theRCN @vascuk Ridiculous waste of money. Hospitals need more staff to alleviate the stress and pressure of work. Who has time to sleep in a pod? Perhaps the managers?

@Sarah_L_Mackie @MdWarrington @petercgrayson @EBRheum @anisha_dua @RulaHajjAliMD We spend a fair amount of time managing steroid related adrenal insufficiency. Some pts converted to Hydrocortisone replacement therapy. We migrate onto AZA MTX etc also. Esp those diabetics are high risk.

Taking a walk in Bek'Oji outside school. My low O2 Sats at high altitude meant clinics were exhausting. Beds made for locals means family doesn't sleep on the floor.

Doubling a volume of a cube sounds simple but isn't. On the left Hippocrates has a stab: a/b=b/c=c/2a. And de Vinci on the right, portaite view.. Cube A length 4, vol 64. Cube B length 5 and a bit? Vol 125 and a bit. Close but no cigar.

Any comments?
