28 October - The saddest Tweet of the Day

Suicide Tweet Johnson HancockI found this Tweet by the London Ambulance Service to be deeply disturbing. Not so much that Covid appears to have doubled the suicide rate in London - anyone could have guessed that - but that it was around 20 cases a day even in normal years.

After seven months of Covid the Government’s reaction to the bug has wrecked the country and so many lives, yet I still know no one who has died of Covid19. indeed I only know of one person who has had it - 76 years old and survived.

Soon after it all started a close friend lost her young niece who couldn’t take the thought that her mother may have had Covid. She didn’t. Four lives wrecked as a result of that single episode.

I truly don’t believe this pair of numties care. Why else would they make the NHS a near Covid only service?

A friend who was diagnosed with heart failure in July has had his consultation with a cardioligist put off until next January.
