Cardiac Arrest:
1. Unconscious
2. Not breathing (or not breathing normally)

Your May Day call to action:

A cardiac arrest is when someone’s heart suddenly stops beating, and their breathing is abnormal or has stopped.

📍Arnold—“Screw your freedom…because with freedom comes obligation & responsibilities.” Akin to wearing a mask—while you can think a traffic light🚦 restricts “freedom”—you cannot run a red light or else you can kill someone else. Thx @Schwarzenegger@biannagolodryga@AVindman
A plea: this account is run by frontline NHS staff. After the scenes today in Trafalgar Square our inbox is distressing. You don’t know how much it meant to all of us to see the tidal wave of support on the hashtag #gotyourbackNHS. If you support us please follow and RT 💙💙💙
After July 19 you must keep wearing a mask when visiting our hospitals or clinics, as well as other measures to keep each other safe. This will not only help to protect you but also our vulnerable patients. Please #DoYourBit to protect your NHS - thankyou bit.ly/3B68nkk
