Following the first lockdown on 16 March 2020 it felt like we were all in it together. There were widespread messages of thanks and support for key workers and there was a collective understanding that we all had our role to play in preventing the NHS from becoming overwhelmed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With time, and possibly due to news fatigue or apathy, this understanding has wavered. Now, in this third lockdown, some members of the public are asking questions such as \u201cWhat are we trying to protect the NHS from?\u201d and \u201cIs there really a pandemic?\u201d Some are even saying that the entire pandemic has been exaggerated so that the NHS can avoid seeing patients.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">These views could not be further from the truth. To say the NHS is becoming overwhelmed is an understatement. We see the daily number of deaths rising and cases exploding but sadly many people are becoming numb to the statistics. We are trying to fight a blazing fire and those who knowingly disregard the rules add fuel to the flames, especially if they are high profile individuals.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Posting videos on social media of empty hospital corridors <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">to try and support the false narrative that hospitals are empty is grossly misleading and offensive. People chanting \u201ccovid is a hoax\u201d outside London\u2019s St Thomas\u2019 hospital<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> will have detrimental consequences on the morale of NHS staff.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There are some who have spoken out against these actions and explained how they affect those of us on the front line. However, the tide of public support feels like it has turned against us.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A recent poll of 1250 general practitioners carried out by Medical Protection Society showed that over one in three GPs have suffered verbal or physical abuse by patients or their relatives during the pandemic<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. We have even seen reports of car windows of staff being smashed, physical intimidation and murals in their honour, defaced<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Words cannot express the degree of bitterness felt by medical professions towards this destructive behaviour, nor the damaging effects it has on staff wellbeing and morale. It is insulting, incomprehensible, and utterly intolerable.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Although they are in the minority, the effects that covid-19 deniers can have are significant. Therefore we must try not to engage with them on social media, as it simply gives them a platform to spread their baseless rhetoric.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As exhausting and demoralising as fighting to be believed can be, we must remember that the majority of the public are supportive and appreciative. We will get through this pandemic by standing together, supporting each other, and treating one another with basic decency and respect.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-size: 1rem\"><strong>Neena Jha<\/strong> is a salaried GP in Hertfordshire with an interest in emergency care and global child heath.
