@StuartWHOGG_15 Don't beat yourself up big man, shit happens! At least no one was hurt and you definitely won't do it again! #backingblue

[Duncan Stewart @RDuncanStewart]

@Emilyong93 @SamuelCJChew @DundeePublicH Could be worth it to protect vulnerable groups from contracting flu #fluscenario

[Duncan Stewart @RDuncanStewart]

@Emilyong93 @JHouston8888 Also invite healthcare workers to speak to school kids about dealing with the flu #fluscenario

[Duncan Stewart @RDuncanStewart]

@niamh__mcmahon @RebeccaShaw3 @TMelaugh elderly patients and very young children too #fluscenario

[Duncan Stewart @RDuncanStewart]

@christiedundee Could close schools for a few days to prevent infected children that haven't become ill yet infecting others #fluscenario

[Duncan Stewart @RDuncanStewart]

@d_a_cunningham @heronunderwater @PHO_Team @CalumMac_DunMed good idea, be a great experience for them to be able to help #fluscenario

[Duncan Stewart @RDuncanStewart]

@d_a_cunningham Critical unaffected patients could be difficult to move and could be higher risk of suffering complications #fluscenario

[Duncan Stewart @RDuncanStewart]

Important to encourage those involved with care of the elderly to avoid contact with flu at all costs #fluscenario

[Duncan Stewart @RDuncanStewart]

Couldn't have people with flu in the same ICU wards as people with heart or lung conditions #fluscenario

[Duncan Stewart @RDuncanStewart]

Important to let people know exactly when to go to hospital to prevent hospitals being even further overloaded than necessary #fluscenario

[Duncan Stewart @RDuncanStewart]

People will get sick with other illnesses during the pandemic so preventing GPs from seeing patients would impact on their care #fluscenario

[Duncan Stewart @RDuncanStewart]

I think helpline is a great idea, as it would prevent unnecessary hospital visits and spread of infection #fluscenario

[Duncan Stewart @RDuncanStewart]

@Emilyong93 @DundeePublicH @EmJG_86 @CrashCall GP's need to start advising their vulnerable patients before the pandemic hits #fluscenario

[christie wilson @christiedundee]

Impossible to prevent people getting flu, so money perhaps best spent on informing public of what to do if they become ill? #fluscenario

[Duncan Stewart @RDuncanStewart]

@heronunderwater @ChrisWest106 @CrashCall @Emilyong93 Also good to get health workers vaccinated as soon as possible #fluscenario

[Duncan Stewart @RDuncanStewart]

@CrashCall @e_hothersall Yes, good idea, i can see how healthcare workers could accidentally spread flu quickly if not careful #fluscenario

[Duncan Stewart @RDuncanStewart]

@ChrisWest106 @e_hothersall The virus would have a more devastating effect on people who were already ill so it needs contained #fluscenario

[Duncan Stewart @RDuncanStewart]

@ChrisWest106 @e_hothersall Would be a significant burden on the NHS, particularly with doctors/nurses etc needing sick-leave. #fluscenario

[Duncan Stewart @RDuncanStewart]

It could be the priority of the NHS to educate people on the symptoms, so people know when they are at risk of infecting others #fluscenario

[Duncan Stewart @RDuncanStewart]

@heronunderwater Also people with suppressed immune systems like cancer patients? May increase mortality among these people #fluscenario
