@medichulston @AnthonyKerry7 @MartinLandray @HRA_Latest @ObserverUK @elinlowri RECOVERY trial is truly an example of active high quality clinical trial which is important in improving outcomes of COVID patients with evidence based practice. Contribution of each and every member of RECOVERY team is commendable.

[George Hulston @medichulston]

@AnthonyKerry7 @MartinLandray @HRA_Latest @ObserverUK Any importantly for healthcare staff, it provides us with hope & is something positive to do in the grim reality that is Covid (first pointed out much more elegantly than me by @elinlowri ). CC: my fellow recruiter @bhav_dr

Today is the highest UK number of #COVID19 cases since May 23

✅ nearly all community (Pillar 2), not hospital
✅ main increase in Midlands/North but not in any one place
✅ rise looks genuine, not a reporting anomaly

Stay vigilant. Wash hands. Wear masks. Social distance.

"Remote consultations won't be suitable or preferable for everyone, and that certainly isn't what the RCGP is suggesting. Once more normal service resumes & we await official guidance on this, patients who want face to face appointments will be able to have them." @MartinRCGP

[London North West University Healthcare @LNWH_NHS]

Face coverings cover your mouth *AND* nose. They help keep COVID out, but only if we all wear them *properly*. They aren't:
- a chin strap for an invisible helmet
- eye masks for sleepy times
- big hooped earrings
