🙏🏾Please share this post.🙏🏿 The media focuses on white skinned people. Children with darker skin are at higher risk from health inequalities partly due to poor health messaging. #ScarletFever #BlackLivesMatter
Brown Skin Matters@BrwnSkinMatters9 Dec 2022
Scarlet fever is getting a lot of media attention at the moment, because of an increased number of cases and sporadic antibiotic shortages. I know parents are worrying. So, here's another set of photos of what it looks like on darker skin. #MedTwitter #scarletfever #BLM

I looked at London Covid admissions today & they made me cry. We've been admitting a medium sized hospital worth of Covid patients EVERY day for 3 weeks. KCL hospital is one of London's largest at 950 beds. On 6th Jan we admitted 977 Covid patients. What have we done?

Our latest statement on #intensivecare staffing, bed occupancy & capacity to support those reporting ICU data across the UK. It also provides the media with a better understanding of what the data means to help make their reports on ICU beds clearer. 👉bit.ly/ICSBedCapacity

It’s frustrating the media only focus on the no of Drs who have sadly died due to COVID19. There must be many nurses who have similarly suffered. ICU nurses don’t get the recognition they deserve. They are the true foot soldiers in this battle, without them us docs would be lost.

To explain our rationale... COVID-19 seems to present as 2 phenotypes: initially high compliance with poor V/Q match and low recruitability, ‘dry’ lungs; versus subsequent low compliance, ‘wet’ lungs, potentially recruitable.

Thoracic Surgeon - Joel Dunning@joeldunning28 Mar 2020
I have changed from being a consultant thoracic surgeon to an ICU Nurse to help with the intense pressures on our ICU now. If like me you are in the NHS but working less to free up space for COVID patients, can I encourage you to #put-in-a-shift in your ICU to help them out !
