I am aware that in recent weeks many of you have followed me for the first time. Today, of all days, I would encourage you to read this past thread of mine. Robert Smallbones is one of my heroes. I think he teaches us that all of us - ALL of us - should stand up, when we can.

Right. A thread on another ordinary person who did extraordinary things. This is Robert Smallbones, career civil servant and diplomat, and his wife Inga. Between November 1938 and the outbreak of WW2, they helped OVER FORTY THOUSAND Jews escape the Nazis and get to Britain. /1

NEW: Extraordinary statement from @HelenRSalisbury from emergency press conference on UK govt's plan: 'I cannot understand why the government would opt to do herd immunity by infection when they could do herd immunity by vaccination. I think it's criminal.'

If you go into cardiac arrest, without a defibrillator, you have a 7% chance of survival. If a defibrillator is on the patient within 3 mins, the chances of survival is over 70%. Every school, university, workplace, recreational place should have one. They should be everywhere.

Under capitalism, the goal of every business isn't its stated product or service, but profit. We grow food not to feed, but to profit. We make drugs not to heal, but to profit. The guaranteed end result of this model is maximized profit and minimized product.
