Dr Prit Buttar's post has generated hundreds of responses from people
with their own stories
A retired GP says he has been "humbled" by the response to a social
media post on why he broke Covid rules to hug a bereaved woman at a
vaccine clinic.
Dr Prit Buttar's Twitter thread has generated hundreds of responses and >thousands of likes and retweets.
He said he had been prompted to post by the political row surrounding >gatherings at 10 Downing Street.
Dr Buttar said that showed a "huge disconnection" from the lives of
ordinary people.
He retired to near Kirkcudbright in Dumfries and Galloway in 2016 but
worked part-time in practices across the region until 2019.
However, he volunteered to assist - helping to set up local Covid hubs -
when the coronavirus pandemic began a year later.

He told BBC Radio Scotland's Good Morning Scotland programme why he
decided to breach social distancing regulations.
"This was just under a year ago," he said.
"I was working in one of the vaccine clinics and one of the reception
staff came through and asked if we could fit in somebody who should have
come a few days before but had missed her appointment.
"Of course, we said that's fine and when she came in - this was a lady
in her late 60s or early 70s, I can't remember the details now - she was
so apologetic that she had wasted an appointment and apologised again
and again and we reassured her."
He said they had told the woman someone else would have used the slot
she had missed and then she had explained why she had not attended.

Dr Buttar was working at a vaccination clinic when he decided to hug the >woman
"She and her husband had moved to Scotland just immediately before the >pandemic broke and as soon as they arrived in Scotland, her husband >discovered that he had cancer," said Dr Buttar.
"She had cared for him through the first lockdown and through the summer
that followed and he had died shortly before her appointment to come to
see us.
"Because her son lived in England and his wife had Covid, he was unable
to come up to be with her."
He said that meant she had had to deal with the death of her husband
having had little chance to establish a friend network in the area.
"This poor woman was very, very much alone," he said.
"And I just took the decision that this was an occasion where I was
going to break the rules, and I leaned forward and embraced her.
"This poor person just dissolved into tears and as she sobbed, she told
me that I was the first person who had embraced her since her husband
had died."
'Tremendous fortitude'
He explained why he had taken to social media to share his experience.
"I posted on Twitter about this just to make the point that, you know, >ordinary people dealt with their loss and their loneliness with
tremendous fortitude and resignation and stoicism and what a contrast to
the behaviour of the prime minister and his entourage," he said.
Dr Buttar said many people had responded to the story.
"Everyone in the thread who said they'd broken the rules had done so in
order to help somebody else, not because they wanted to have a party,"
he said.
"The other thread of it was the people who hadn't broken the rules who
had watched loved ones die over an iPad and now bitterly regretted that
they hadn't taken that moment just to say goodbye to their loved one.
"One of the universal comments that I have seen when I've looked at the >thread from people is that the gulf between everyday experiences and the >behaviour of the prime minister is so vast.
"This is not something for which an apology - a promise to do better -
will ever suffice."
Boris Johnson admitted at Prime Minister's Questions last week that he
had joined colleagues for drinks in the Downing Street garden on 20 May
2020 for around 25 minutes, to thank them for their hard work during the >pandemic, but had "believed implicitly" it was a work event.
He apologised for his handling of the event, saying he understood
people's "rage".
Civil servant Sue Gray has been appointed to investigate allegations of >parties held at Downing Street while the UK was in lockdown due to Covid.

"The other thread of it was the people who hadn't broken the rules who
had watched loved ones die over an iPad and now bitterly regretted that
they hadn't taken that moment just to say goodbye to their loved one.
"One of the universal comments that I have seen when I've looked at the
thread from people is that the gulf between everyday experiences and the >>> behaviour of the prime minister is so vast.
"This is not something for which an apology - a promise to do better -
will ever suffice."
Boris Johnson admitted at Prime Minister's Questions last week that he
had joined colleagues for drinks in the Downing Street garden on 20 May
2020 for around 25 minutes, to thank them for their hard work during the >>> pandemic, but had "believed implicitly" it was a work event.
He apologised for his handling of the event, saying he understood
people's "rage".

finding out at any given moment, including even while on-line, who
among us are unwittingly contagious (i.e pre-symptomatic or

doctor in hopes of stopping this pandemic. Thus, we're hoping for the
best while preparing for the worse-case scenario of the Alpha lineage
mutations and others like the Omicron, Gamma, Beta, Epsilon, Iota,
Lambda, Mu & Delta lineage mutations combining via
slip-RNA-replication to form hybrids that render current COVID

Indeed, I am wonderfully hungry ( http://tinyurl.com/RapidOmicronTest

So how are you ?

Retired GP broke Covid rules to hug bereaved woman at clinic
"There was a rich man who was dressed in purple and fine linen and
lived in luxury every day. At his gate was laid a beggar named
Lazarus, covered with sores and (wonderfully hungry) longing to eat
what fell from the rich man’s table. Even the dogs came and (were kind
to him as they) licked his sores.The time came when the beggar died
and the angels carried him to Abraham’s side. The rich man also died
and was buried. In Hades (aka Hell), where he was in torment, he
looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side. So he
called to him, ‘Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to
dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in
agony in this fire.’ But Abraham replied, ‘Son, remember that in your >lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad
things, but now he is comforted here and you are in agony. And besides
all this, between us and you a great chasm has been set in place, so
that those who want to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone
cross over from there to us.’ He answered, ‘Then I beg you, father,
send Lazarus to my family, for I have five brothers. Let him **warn**
them, so that they will (be kind to the wonderfully hungry and) not
also come to this place of torment.’" (Luke 16:19-31 w/ parenthetical >clarification & **emphasis**)

Shame on andrew, look at his red face.
He is trying to pull a fast one. His scripture bit is found among these:
'14 Bible verses about Spiritual Hunger'
Psalms
81:10 I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.
Proverbs
13:25 The righteous has enough to satisfy his appetite, But the stomach of the wicked is in need.
Joel
2:26 And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of
the LORD your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my
people shall never be ashamed.
Psalms
107 For he satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things.
Acts
14:17 "Yet he did not leave himself without witness, for he did good by giving you rains from heaven and fruitful seasons, satisfying
your hearts with food and gladness."

Does andrew's "definition" agree with scripture? Let's see in 1 John:
ongoingJohn wrote this to christians. The greek grammer (sic) speaks of an
status. He includes himself in that status.
sins,1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is
not in us.
1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our
word isand to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
1:10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his
not in us.
