Dear 🇬🇧, This is the anatomy of a militant takeover of your public healthcare system: - Take the #1 healthcare system on Earth - Defund it by £320 billion over a decade - Force doctors and nurses to leave country - Engineer the longest waitlist in NHS history - Hold patients hostage to private healthcare - Get the public sick, angry, out of work - Call the sick public “generation sicknote” - Mandate employers pay for private care This is how they’ll continue to funnel billions more of your public money into the private sector, propping them up at the expense of your NHS, under the guise of “reducing the benefits bill and boosting the economy.” They could have simply funded the NHS and we wouldn’t be such a sick and out of work nation. And so when we talk about the creation of a two-tier system, this is exactly what we mean: rapid access to a doctor for the wealthy on private healthcare, and years-long waits to see a non-doctor in the NHS. The @Conservatives goal has always been to turn your NHS into an American privatised nightmare — just like the one I grew up in where healthcare is obtained through the employer at massive cost to both employer and employee — and it’s all happening right under your nose, without your consent. So please wake up and stop letting them steal your healthcare from you and your family. They are not going to improve your healthcare, they’re simply going to take it away, only to sell it right back to you. If you value the health of your family, never vote for them ever again. #SOSNHS

Swallow the wrong microbe, and you might end up in the hospital with a needle or two in your arm — and plenty of itty-bitty bacterial needles poking at you from the inside. sciencenews.org/article/dise…

Phages are viruses that infect bacteria & influence bacterial processes in agriculture, ecology, & medicine.🦠 We are hosting a workshop to bring together biologists, ecologists, mathematicians, & physicists interested in bacteria-phage interactions! ➡️ docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F…
