@oak_leychlo I’ll do it when’s it due?

[Laura Buttimer @laura_buttimer]

@oak_leychlo Honestly it’s not lockdown or treating covid patients daily that gets to me, it’s people openly mugging off the MILLIONS that have died, their families and everyone who is sticking to the rules by having the audacity to post their rule breaking on social media

Just honestly feel his whole aim is to ‘’protect the NHS’’ but he eased lockdown when all the numbers and scientists told him not to and now hospitals are in a dire situation.

[Laura Buttimer @laura_buttimer]

Boris locked down the UK in Nov, then when looking to ease lockdown restrictions at the beginning of Dec he surely reviewed the number of people being hospitalised and saw it was higher than when he started the lockdown but he still opened the country back up anyway? Right 🤔

@Chloe_Woolying @lewisa95 I’ve never identified with anything more 🙀

[Laura Buttimer @laura_buttimer]

@Chloe_Woolying I have so many regrets

[M I K E R Y A N @90mikeryan]

I spent €50 for a 3 minute phone call with my GP last week about a mental health issue (I'm fine). He said he'd refer me to regional MH services, but I I'd be waiting 2 years for an appointment. Just got a text to say referral was rejected. MH services in Ireland are a disgrace.

@EmilyBeeney2 Because regardless of all the people out on the streets on a Thursday clapping for us and all other essential workers (which we appreciate) there are still naive people suggesting we knew what we got ourselves in for!

[Laura Buttimer @laura_buttimer]

@EmilyBeeney2 & I didn’t care about the pay but how do you put a price on health and life? Expectations & reality are not the same thing. No one expected there would be 35,000+ deaths in the UK in three months but that’s the reality. So if we don’t ask for more pay then who will do it for us?

[Laura Buttimer @laura_buttimer]

@EmilyBeeney2 4/4 - and recognise their ability to stand up and fight for this country when no one else can.

[Laura Buttimer @laura_buttimer]

@EmilyBeeney2 3/4 - I don’t think that the NHS is more valuable or more essential than any other profession or service when life is normal but life isn’t normal right now and I think in the long run the NHS, other emergency services and key workers’ salaries should reflect that

[Laura Buttimer @laura_buttimer]

@EmilyBeeney2 2/4 - We signed up for long hours, night shifts, stretched resources, hard decisions, under staffing and all the other things that the lack of funding for the NHS brings but we never signed up to actively risk our lives and our families lives daily for the most basic pay grade.

[Laura Buttimer @laura_buttimer]

@EmilyBeeney2 1/4 - The NHS saves millions of lives around the country every day and that’s before the pandemic. Where it is not possible to save the patient, we make their final time on this earth as comfortable as possible.
