You won't see better scrutiny of politicians than @EmmaBarnett 's demolishing of Tory Minister Paul Scully tonight. Outstanding journalism. #Newsnight

@shinybluedress @AdamJSchwarz @Emmabarnett I thought it was 6 days in, 3 days icu, 2 weeks recovery.

@StAndrews68 @AdamJSchwarz @Emmabarnett Definitely not a death bed scenario then

@shinybluedress @maxwele2 @AdamJSchwarz @Emmabarnett That was my thought too!

@shinybluedress @AdamJSchwarz @Emmabarnett But - but he was sitting up working in the ICU wasn't he??? They have desks in there don't they??? No, I never believed it either. <coffcoff #Rehab >

@shinybluedress @AdamJSchwarz @Emmabarnett Even if he was on his deathbed I've ALWAYS hated when people use private, near death experiences or life changing accidents that have nothing to do with their jobs & are only being used for a crutch to save their career, the same as Owen Paterson & what should've been private.

@shinybluedress @AdamJSchwarz @Emmabarnett He might have been receiving care that was “intensive” (i.e. lots of medical and nursing staff waiting on him) but he was not “in intensive care” in the standard meaning of the term………….

@shinybluedress @AdamJSchwarz @Emmabarnett He had the same as me. I struggled to breath and desperately needed some oxygen. I caught it late 2020. However I couldn't access medical help and struggled on alone at home. I caught it from my 6 year old as he hadn't shut school early enough. He was lucky to get help.

@shinybluedress @AdamJSchwarz @Emmabarnett No half hearted claps from me, just a sincere thank you for helping us to get through this

@shinybluedress @FOWingsScot @AdamJSchwarz @Emmabarnett Two doctors who were there and refused to sign the official secrets act said that his symptoms were so mild they would have given him a couple of paracetamols and sent him home. Covid attacks politicians who need to hide, seemly.

@shinybluedress @AdamJSchwarz @Emmabarnett And why did that nurse go on TV to discuss it at the time? I thought patients' records were private.
