➲ I’ll be frank here.

What’s the point of formatting this NHS document, and providing an easy-to-read, easy-to-access résumé for you, when every single healthcare worker that I've come across in the United Kingdom doesn’t actually believe a. that SARS-CoV-2 is a highly dangerous, life-threatening, life-altering, biphasic, systemic, neurovascular pathogen, or b. that the laws of physics do, actually, happen to apply to all airborne pathogens – so why waste my time on providing you with (probably legally-binding) solutions?

You can’t even recognise the problem yet.

File under ‘Increasing Anosognosia & Executive Dysfunction’.

Read the bulletin yourself. Pick it apart. There’s a link below if you can be bothered.

Blow it. Hang the whole show. Care for your patients (and yourselves and your own families), or don’t bother.

I simply don’t care anymore. Je m’en fous, moi. M’en fiche.
