Why we NEED to be talking about Covid-19.

In this video, I talk about why we NEED to be talking about Covid-19, how we can empower conversation to drive change, and how we can all be a part of this. Through this pandemic we've received so much misinformation and mixed messages. We can all be a part of the drive for information availability, and encourage discussions from the front line.

A bit about myself:
Hey guys! I'm Matt, a junior doctor 👨‍⚕️from Hong Kong working in London in the UK. I've had so many incredible experiences as a doctor and my journey to getting where I am today and so I decided to try put them somewhere: this channel is it! I mostly post about my life as doctor but I put out educational content about things that I think I have something worth sharing, such as about studying, medical school or productivity.

Very interesting and insightful video Matthew. We live in a word rife with misinformation.People need more respect for those on the front line. From your medical experience and knowledge, could you perhaps release a video debunking the main topics of misinformation about covid and the vaccines. A friend of mine was vaccinating at a large care home last weekend..20 of the temporary staff refused to have the vaccine!
Keep up the good work .

It's hard not to focus on the negatives, such as the covid-hoaxers outside the hospitals and whats shown in the media, but the majority of the country is behind you Matt! We can't begin to imagine what you guys have been thrown into and how quickly you have adapted to get the job done. Keep your heads up and thanks for pushing forward!

I like this piece. We can all get angry about different subjects. I think we all can be mistrustful of the " people at the top" in some regard this has been scudded that we are been lied to all the time and the people at the top like politicians, news media, heads of business etc are all part of the system that out to keep the " little people" down unfortunately it's spread to not trusting any one at all, civil servants, doctors, scientist etc.
strange the internet is this huge data base of information but it hasn't the ability to make us clever or wise.
Unfortunately the ppl at the top can be seen as so far away from what is happening of the ground its are to know they are getting a true picture of what is happening because they are relying on what is being feed back to them.

The only thing I think you have missed is the role politics plays in all levels. The goverent HAS got it wrong, I think we all know that, but when the voices are weighted by politics it can make people switch off.
