This is the country with whom the UK is supposed to have a special relationship. The country our prime minister wants to trade with instead of our democratic friends in Europe.

@SuButcher I know. But are the public toilets even open? The main ones aren’t. Not sure about the ones at the beach.

Shockingly irresponsible @TimeOutLondon.

"For those familiar with the county, the Essex stereotypes are just that, stereotypes. Beyond major urban centres, Essex has mile upon mile of wild, windswept marshland, glistening mudflats, and a sprinkling of sandy beaches and seaside promenades" 🌊

Today we decannulated a patient who had been ventilated in ITU for over 25 days. The screams of happiness from his wife when he FaceTimed her and whispered to her that he loved her, I will never forget. This is what keeps us going. #NHS #Covid_19 #screwyoucovid #CriticalCare

Bite this, Stein and Ramsay. This is how it SHOULD be done

It has sickened me to read horrible messages about Boris being ill from people on the left. I too am ‘on the left’ but since when did common humanity and compassion go out the window just because of political differences? We are better than that.

[The Frinton Spirit @frintonspirit]

Wishing @BorisJohnson a speedy recovery. This virus is truly, truly awful.

My mum's neighbours - 4 young people who share a house - are choristers for Wells Cathedral. At evening they've been singing in their front garden for the street to hear.
I believe this piece is by the English composer Gerald Finzi.

Three NHS doctors have sadly passed away after contracting COVID-19.

My heart goes out to the loved ones of Dr Amged El-Hawrani, Dr Adil El-Tayar and Dr Habib Zaidi.

And to all our frontline NHS staff: thank you for your courage & self-sacrifice ♥️

@Tim53Howell Govt advice is to stay at home, avoid non-essential travel and not put a further strain on local communities. People being urged not to flock to their second homes. Watch the news.

[The Frinton Spirit @frintonspirit]

@Frintony I know. So very worrying. I can’t bear thinking about it.

[The Frinton Spirit @frintonspirit]

I posted something similar the other day and was promptly criticised and told I was being ‘judgemental’. Deleted tweet as it was misconstrued. Wish I hadn’t now. The govt is asking people to avoid non-essential trips and stay home. People are so stupid and selfish.

[Tony Robinson @Frintony]

@mrdanwalker Frinton-on-Sea is packed like it's the height of summer. The many elderly and frail folk here are put at risk by selfish day trippers and holiday home owners. They stretch local food shops and if they have brought infection they will further stretch the #NHSCovidHeroes

[Tony Robinson @Frintony]

Holiday home owners and tourists should stay away from #Essex coastal towns with elderly, vulnerable populations. Have your walk on the beach later, when this is over — but protect lives NOW, and don’t risk bringing the virus to these communities. @GilesWatling @TendringCC

[Matthew Mallett. @1936matt]

Well last chance saloon. Act responsibly or get ready for lock down. Don't think Boris could have been much fairer than that. Down to everyone to comply or cry. Choice is yours @BorisJohnson #lockdownUKnow #COVIDIOTS

[Paul Bradshaw @bradshaaaw]

Yesterday I knocked on my Tennant's door and told him he can stay in the property rent free for 5 months. He is self employed with 4 kids. I don't need Boris to tell me what is morally correct. Landlords, if you can, do more, do something. #COVID19 #BeNice
