The overuse & misuse of remote & virtual consultations by GPs should be stopped immediately. We need the traditional human touch of medicine through face-to-face contact in primary care settings or patients home. Without it, many question the future of general practice.

INDIA: Sadly more than 50 of our colleagues lost their life as Covid-19 ravages the country. The health system is overwhelmed, yet PM Modi pushes ahead $2.8 billion parliamentary revamp! Why?

Mr Johnson said: "We have reached another milestone in our road map out of lockdown, but we must take this next step with a heavy dose of caution."
Please take care.

"Settlements are illegal under international law & obstacle to peace.We urge the Government of Israel to cease its policies related to settlement expansion immediately & instead work towards the establishment of a Palestinian State along 1967 line with its capital in E Jerusalem"

The cycle of violence must end for Israelis and Palestinians alike", The UK Ambassador at UN.
"The UK has made its positions on evictions, demolitions, and the settlement enterprise clear in this Council, and I will do so again today. https://t.co/1kM4c3xh8V

Easing lockdown in town and cities in England & other parts of the UK is not a return to normal living. The responsibilities are i the hand of the public who should be fully alert and take all public health measures (hands, face & space).

It is heartbreaking to watch 24hrs a day the lost of so many innocent lives in Palestine & Israel. Eviction of Palestinian from their homes by settlers & Israeli police imposed illegal harsh restrictions in Al-Aqsa during Ramdan is the trigger. Who is behind this bloodshed?

[Salman Rawaf @SalmanRawaf]

The delay of 19 days in banning travel from India after reporting more than 100,000 cases early April(certainly much more were not reported) is the most unwise decision by the British Government. We are paying heavy price for this dithering by the PM.

20 March 2003 the start of occupation & destruction of Iraq political, institutional & infrastructure - proceeded by a "shock & awe" campaign by Bush and Blair. https://t.co/53RIOVpTN5
Blair & Brown apologies are worthless. Iraq must be compensated.

The "NHS Reforms Virus" is re-emerging again! I hope the new White Paper will address the infamous mistakes of Andrew Lansley during Cameron's premiership. Bring Public Health back to the NHS.

[Salman Rawaf @SalmanRawaf]

It almost a year since the first Covid-19 cases were reported. Some patients are still suffering from residual symptoms (fatigue, sleeplessness, heart symptoms, joint pain, tinnitus, etc). Is this "Long Covid" or "Chronic Covid"?

[Salman Rawaf @SalmanRawaf]

The World Health Organization has urged the UK to pause its vaccination programme after vulnerable groups have received their jabs to help ensure the global rollout of doses is fair.https://t.co/DJ9dN2sVC5

[Salman Rawaf @SalmanRawaf]

Rich countries should stop this non-sense and listen to WHO and share the vaccines with middle and low income countries. Today about 95% of the vaccines produced are distributed in US, Canada, UK and Europe. This vaccine inequity is not fair and illogical.

[Salman Rawaf @SalmanRawaf]

@miskalakhbar The Tweet from Misk is not accurate and misleading. The total UK deaths is 80,000 since March 2020 and not in the last 28 days as stated. Shame that intellectual people don’t check their facts before posting.

[Salman Rawaf @SalmanRawaf]

The debate about the single dose for Covid-19 never stop. The UK Chief Medical Officers are right in giving priority to wider population coverage through a single dose https://t.co/UCvv1a8Sus
