    Remember people donating scrubs? Remember Nissan making hundreds of thousands of visors? Remember local sewing groups making gowns? I intubated people early last year while wearing a surgical face mask as we had no respirators In Lincolnshire. No national shortage says Matt..

    Yesterday I vaccinated 60 people. 60 second doses. There was a great buzz and a very different vibe compared to what it was like back in Jan when I started doing vaccinations. A real sense of hope. People got very emotional. Def had a few lump in throat moments.

    This is me exactly one year ago, on the way to King's College Hospital with Covid. It's an anniversary I'd sooner forget, to be honest. But I'm sharing it for a reason. 1/10

    I completely agree. She has "sources" and it is those sources that matter here. It's the expectation on the part of the "correspondent" (journalist????) that everything they are being told is truthful and in the public interest that is key here.

    ...we could scare you up even more hospital staff. (Not literally scare them, of course – we’re not the home secretary.) I love Marina Hyde!
