It's heartbreaking and also disgusting to read that this is taking place on top of everything frontline NHS staff have had to endure. It's not right at all.
Intentionally instilling fear in care workers who are risking their lives battling to save critically ill people is verging on being domestic terrorism.
More of us ought to do more and speak up, or at the very least question the evidence and engage in civil discussion, when we see our friends or family in our news feeds proclaiming COVID a hoax like they are some misunderstood prophets.
The silent majority's continued reluctance to become visible on facebook or to make themselves part of an online response which could help improve the online climate for us all is becoming more obvious each day.
It's just too easy allowing headlines like these to stream down my feed like entertainment and for me to be all compassionate and understanding in the story's thread, and then when the moment's passed turn a blind eye to a mate's status update declaring that masks and ventilators kill. You have to activate yourself at some point.
