Why are we still not securing our borders as effectively as Singapore and South Korea? My question to @matthancock https://t.co/UnaJzHy0E2 — PolitiTweet.org

Surely we could have taken the lockdown decision last week so primary schools did not go back for just one day? My question to @matthancock today. https://t.co/0uJfww3Fh7 — PolitiTweet.org

America is the world's biggest, most important democracy, a shining light on the hill for freedom. Pres Trump told a crowd to march on Capitol Hill & turned on his VP for upholding the law. He shames American democracy tonight & causes its friends anguish but he is not America — PolitiTweet.org

Tough measures announced tonight but thank you @BorisJohnson for doing what is necessary to save lives and get the virus under control — PolitiTweet.org

Jeremy Hunt @Jeremy_Hunt

I know all these things will be under consideration with decisions potentially imminent. My point is in the face of exponential growth even waiting an extra day causes many avoidable deaths so these plans must now be urgently accelerated. — PolitiTweet.org

Jeremy Hunt @Jeremy_Hunt

The good news is that unlike before these restrictions will be time limited to the 12 weeks or so it will take to get the vaccine out to those most vulnerable to covid - so there is light at the end of the tunnel. — PolitiTweet.org

Jeremy Hunt @Jeremy_Hunt

Also with vacancy levels at 2-3 times normal because of self-isolation & covid, NHS staff who are risking their lives for us MUST be put at the front of the queue for vaccines. This will stop our hospitals falling over and help keep their patients safe. It is also our moral duty. — PolitiTweet.org

Jeremy Hunt @Jeremy_Hunt

We therefore cannot afford to wait: all schools should be closed, international travel stopped, household mixing limited and the tier system reviewed so that the highest tier really does bring down infection levels (as with the first lockdown). — PolitiTweet.org

Jeremy Hunt @Jeremy_Hunt

No 1 lesson is countries that act early & decisively save lives & get their economies back to normal faster. Wuhan is now free of any restrictions - but Uni of Southampton show if they’d locked down 1 week earlier they would’ve reduced infections by 2/3. https://t.co/1uWplUpIJA. — PolitiTweet.org

Jeremy Hunt @Jeremy_Hunt

Excellent analysis by @NeilDotObrien shows the reason for all this pressure: 1/3 more hospital beds now taken up nationally by covid patients than in Wave 1 (50% in SE). Having a new strain in the middle of winter is clearly having a massive impact https://t.co/d3L3suUlxh — PolitiTweet.org

Jeremy Hunt @Jeremy_Hunt

Full credit to NHS for keeping cancer services open but in Wave 1 there was still a 2/3 drop in cancer appts: people didn’t come forward to GPs or want to go to hospitals, with many potentially avoidable cancer deaths. We hoped to avoid that this time but now looking unlikely. — PolitiTweet.org

Jeremy Hunt @Jeremy_Hunt

Even more worryingly fewer heart attack patients appear to be presenting in ICUs, perhaps because they are not dialling 999 when they need to https://t.co/CM1548589N — PolitiTweet.org

Jeremy Hunt @Jeremy_Hunt

It’s true that we often had to cancel elective care in Jan to protect emergency care but that too is under severe pressure with record trolley waits for the very sickest patients https://t.co/phEd47ztne — PolitiTweet.org

Jeremy Hunt @Jeremy_Hunt

To those arguing winter is always like this in the NHS: you are wrong. I faced four serious winter crises as Health Sec and the situation now is off-the-scale worse than any of those. — PolitiTweet.org

Jeremy Hunt @Jeremy_Hunt

Time to act: thread on why we need to close schools, borders, and ban all household mixing RIGHT AWAY. — PolitiTweet.org

Jeremy Hunt @Jeremy_Hunt

Happy NY to all - horrible yr but 2 big silver linings: vaccines, where we may even be the first country to immunise all those at risk; & a Brexit deal which hopefully concludes a painful period in our politics. The future is now in our own hands - and never underestimate the UK! — PolitiTweet.org
