So much important information here.
‘of the approx 750 children who will drown next year, about 375 of them will do so within 25 yards of a parent or other adult.’
‘10 percent of those drownings, the adult will actually watch the child do it, having no idea it is happening.’

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on.

Drowning Doesn’t Look Like Drowning
Drowning is not the violent, splashing call for help that most people expect.

This is extremely worrying. I see a growing vaccine apathy, even amongst healthcare workers and the nonsense from the US isn’t helping. When will people waken up to both the necessity and obligations to protect us all.
The spike in flu is piling pressure on the NHS two-three weeks earlier than wards usually begin to fill up. My piece online now @thetimes.com

I've seen a child with tetanus, I've treated near fatal infections after chicken pox, and I've pronounced children dead from COVID whose parents refused to have them vaccinated.
We have lost our minds... and are about to lose so many of our precious children.
