I’m an ER Doctor. Here’s What I Feel OK Doing as My State Reopens.

It depends on your priorities. Here’s how I’ve determined mine.

Superb article that.

So much truth in it, and anyone reading it should come away understanding that "safe" is a myth, and, in reality, it's OK to take risks. You just need to understand the level of risk, what you can do to mitigate it, and then decide whether or not it's worth it.

"Nah, we'll take it on the chin...maybe wash our hands. But keep drinking and stuffing yourselves with pasties and going the footy and racing etc. It'll be fine."

War criminals got the gallows, they should too.

If they need anyone to pull the lever, I'm available.

Thought you were emigrating to North Korea ?

Only casual sex I've had in lockdown is with me hand

Gloves ?

lol

"I'd rather you didn't have casual sex during lockdown, but if you are going to and you're putting yourself at risk my advice is 'go big or go home', get as freaky as you can - it might be the last chance you get"

If this is true Johnson won't see the next election as PM, it's reported it could have saved 25,000 lives... Stewart and Hunt were questioning the time it was taking to go for lockdown, before lockdown. Its also being reported there was no public health voice inputting into SAGE, shocking omission. That input would have brought much more risk averse advice.

Just listening to Iain Dale (proper Tory hack), scathingly brutal about this loose term of Government.

And this Sage cabal don't even have a public health Doctor inputting, what a shambles who puts these groups together?

What do you mean by this? None of the people advising the Government as part of SAGE are doctors?

If that is in fact true, I suspect it's because it's easier to ignore inconvenient truths if you don't hear them in the first place.

Take no notice mate, there are a number of medical doctors plus senior management from Public health England in the SAGE team. There is a full list on the GOV website along with a list of everybody who took part in each of the SAGE meetings. A quick sample I made showed at least one NHS and one PHE representative at each meeting. Often there were several.

Now personally I think it would have been a very good idea to also have guest speakers at these meetings. Somebody from the shop floor so to speak who is dealing with the nitty gritty. A consultant from a covid ward for example. Unfortunately our government doesn't work that way.

He's not an ex expert because he got caught having sex during lockdown. Perhaps if he were a tosser you wouldn't have the option to scapegoat him.

If you disagree with his scientific opinion then do so with science, but just calling him a tosser because he's an easy target makes you look a bit childish and hypocritical especially given your 'we've all moved on' mantra about Cummings..

If you care to look, I called him out a long time before he resigned, and I did so based on his previous ‘predictions’, which also were a load of rubbish.....I don’t give a damn about him and his woman, I do care about information being even remotely correct....

When the danger passes, there is going to be some serious evaluation of that murderer and his decision to downplay the risk and leave tens of thousands exposed.

He has to know he's on the hook for the delayed lockdown charge and it he can NEVER spin it away. The comparisons with other countries are there as a guide to just how negligent he and his gang of butchers have been.

It's just an appalling performance. At the 'low point' of this infection in the UK we are still seeing hundreds dying per day and the UK is responsible for the vast majority of deaths in western Europe.

It's a catastrophe overseen by people not fit to govern. They should be jailed - minimum. If I had my way I'd have them swinging from a noose.

You'd have to be incredibly blinkered to not realise that our dealing of the crisis has been far from great, and Johnson has flickered in and out of the eye.

Even after his bout in hospital, has he really lead from the front? With the lack of loyalty that was shown before Johnson took charge, they'll be thinking ahead.

If they want to stay in power in the long-term, a betting man would suspect that it won't be with Johnson.

He will stay in power and win the next election, imo.......

Alright Dave, bit TMO.

Even this divvy called it right, so why couldn't the murderer?.
