A genuine (not rhetorical) question: Wouldn't it make more sense to increase the sample size? Is it time we provide mandatory cohort testing at scale for an ongoing pandemic that has removed millions from our planet and left 100s of millions with an illness without treatment?
A genuine (not sarcastic) question: Is it time to provide a mandatory statistics course for anyone who is elected to parliament? 📊

A somewhat delayed rise continues across the South, with Plymouth, Devon, and Cornwall all the highest; Bath and the Isle of Wight not far behind. Royal Devon NHS Trust has been complaining of stress on A&E for several days now. 3/8

Asda still good for NHS flu vaccinations.
👀 Does anyone know what’s going on with this Autumn’s flu vaccination campaign? I’ve just seen this on the Superdrug website: “Due to limited vaccine stock availability, we have now closed bookings for the current season”. superdrug.com/microsite/flu-…

Why are you taking this drug? - I'm not. It's in your records. - Never heard of it. Your GP hasn't sent your blood work. - Oh. Has your GP discussed this with you? - Not a word. This new referral system is completely broken. - So I heard. 💙 NHS

Replying to @DeanEggitt
Data on positive covid tests would be more useful than this vague (minimising?) tweet. Respirators on, especially when visiting healthcare but respirator use in crowded or indoor settings is always prudent.

I spoke with a doctor today (a neurologist, no less!); she told me that she’s perceiving an attitude shift in medicine: many GPs asking how the hell they can treat #LongCovid and acknowledging it‘s real and a burden on the economy because so many people are out of the workforce.

The Covid wave in England is growing very fast, & the overall Covid risk level has been raised to High. As of 4 October, 1 in every 175 people were infected, up 34% on the previous week. We recommend that Covid-Cautious people take full precautions anywhere indoors. A thread 🧵
