Not fish fingers- Covid fingers ! From the 3000 pictures of Covid skin rashes you guys sent in - I am showing a few favourites like this very distinctive pic of rash on hands that often comes on many days after main infection. These cases were ignored until recently - #stayalert

Please feel free to spread the word folk ♥
Thanks @Mike_H0lmes. Nearing my second week of self-isolation with poorly child here in my surgery-from-home! Managed to do all the on-call and virtual meetings from this chair @TeamGP I nominate @AbbieSBrooks @DrThomasPC @docmagsy
It’s been another busy week in practice and with @RCGP. From our hot site to virtual meetings at home #RCGPTogether @TeamGP I nominate @KevvyA @Matty_Forts @ChrisStanley84
On day 10 out of 14 in isolation after our 14 month old developed tonsillitis. Trying to get a test for her led to frustration at every turn, with endless rules and regulations to trip over
Trying to get my 6 year old with a temperature tested so myself and husband can return to work as GPs..... Seems I have ventured into world of 'computer says no' and NHS bureaucracy 🙄 @MattHancock going to struggle to reach target with this system....

UK to start COVID19 contact tracing again. Key control measure esp. in areas with fewer infections. Possibly some areas can come out of lockdown sooner, & reduce the socioeconomic disruption.

Really disappointed to hear of @LFC placing its staff on furlough. Club and owners have got so much right on and off the pitch in the last few years, but not on this occasion.
Glad to see common sense and morality prevail in the end. Glad also to see owners/leaders be willing to accept they got something wrong and put things right @LFC 👍

Hearing an entire city clap for the NHS from my window was really something quite special 👏

Being boring is boring guys! But if it gets the job done it’s definitely worth it! We are all batting at 11 so let’s not get ahead of ourselves and start playing shots. Defend your stumps. One ball at a time and let Stokes do his thing #StayAtHome
Just think of it this way...
We are Jack Leach and the NHS is Ben Stokes
All we have to do is stay in and assist our partner so they can get us through the battle!
Don’t be taking any risky singles though! Lyon might not be able to catch, but you could catch Corona!
#StaySafe

Anyone in contact with patients. If you can count to 30 in 8 seconds oxygen sats are over 95%. 78 % sensitivity. Good for video consultations to try to reduce those F2F contacts

South Korea was doing a heroic job controlling #COVID for the first 30 patients. Then #Patient31 did not adhere to #socialdistancing. Caused 2 clusters responsble for 80% of South Koreas infections. Don't be #Patient31. #CancelEverything #medtwitter graphics.reuters.com/CHINA-H…

The World Health Organization has announced that dogs cannot contract Covid-19. Dogs previously held in quarantine can now be released. To be clear, WHO let the dogs out.
Interesting info-graphic detailing COVID -19 spread in the UK by area. Doesn't yet seem to have hit one particular area proportionally more but accuracy surely relies on widespread testing in the community #COVID2019uk arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard…
Waiting in the wings to speak at @NHS_HealthEdEng National Training Hub conference with @louiseberwick @ralanshirley @HaxbyTraining #realisingthepotential #HCV #PCWTH
