@doctorshaib says misapprehensions are:
The virus is still here. It could infect you and make you very ill.
You could infect someone else, who could go on to die or develop lifetime disabilities
He blames HMG ambivalence & failure to communicate clearly & understandably. /2

"Connection has somehow been lost because people haven't seen someone very ill with #Covid_19 in their own circle, or haven't had anyone they know die of the virus", laments @doctorshaib, who is convinced that - like Tsiodras in Greece - he could do a better job than the PM /3
"We need clear, succinct, consistent, understandable Public Health messages, by someone who knows the art & craft of communicating in simple language", @doctorshaib tells @ShelaghFogarty, who agrees it's about managing our expectations & ability to absorb new facts. /4

This disarms the antagonistic&arrogant, whose attitude is usually down to a misunderstanding"/6

What a lovely man! Just imagine how things might be, & wld become transformed, if we were being guided&informed by such a humble, courageous person~ a relatable human being.

@BorisJohnson, what about it?
"If you do what you've always done, you get what you've always got"
Here's a man of the ppl whose qualifications have simply furnished him with tools; a conscientious &skilled workman; a specialist at his craft. /END
