BBC2 NI right now is a lovely holiday for your head ☘️

@oliverlennon @DecLawn @LeoVaradkar I’ve pulled our 9 month old from creche and my wife, a dental hygienist, told her boss she’s not going in as every random patient (14 p/d) creates an aerosol of spittle around her head. Her boss threw the head up, pointed to UK gov guidance as reason to keep carry and carry on.

@MorpheusNI Worked with these guys for a year way back in 2015 - nice to see them shared on my timeline 👌🏻

Before politics, Leo was a doctor. That’s not the first time he’s had to deliver some brutally honest news in a sensitive way.. and it showed. https://t.co/yOTVdu8Hbk

@JamesTheDraper Unless I’m very much mistaken, we’re witnessing the most catastrophic failure of leadership in living memory.

@Wee_Sio In times like this, people take their lead from the powers that be. The UK gov, by failing to mandate closure of all non-essential business, has given implicit approval to keep calm and carry on... which may well turn out to be the greatest act of gov negligence in living memory.

Took a spin in the car around Belfast earlier - it looked like any normal Tuesday except the odd place was closed. Many people out doing many non-essential activities. 50 miles down the road, over the border, everything is closed. We’re not both right.

@StephenNolan Government have said to avoid all non-essential contact but dentists are still open where every treatment creates a cloud of aerosol. how is that safe? My wife is a dental hygienist and still expected to turn up. Chief Dental Officer silent. 🤷🏻‍♂️
