Very concerning email sent out to staff at the Royal London Hospital this evening, detailing the extreme pressure the NHS is under.
It warns “we are now in disaster medicine mode. We are no longer providing high standard critical care, because we cannot.”

As a parent if I failed to get medical help for my child I’d be charged with neglect, if I sent them to play in a dangerous place, I’d be charged with endangerment, @BorisJohnson what makes the decision to send kids to school during a pandemic any less criminal?
The silence from @Keir_Starmer on closing schools is as deafening as that from @BorisJohnson.
Are both of you unaware how overwhelmed the NHS is? (Clearly not)
Or unaware that secondary age children have the highest % positive cases? (Clearly not)
*Where* is your leadership?
