New study out today looking at 856 #Welsh sexual health patients in @CwmTafMorgannwg. Key findings: low tetracycline and fluoroquinolone resistance for #Ureaplasma and #Mycoplasma, and urine samples have much lower bacterial load than swabs for these. Link rdcu.be/b5VsU

This is the face of someone who just spent 9 hours in personal protective equipment moving critically ill Covid19 patients around London.
I feel broken - and we are only at the start. I am begging people, please please do social distancing and self isolation #covid19
