If, and that’s a if, there really is 5 million people currently walking around with Covid 19 and there’s just 350 people in UK ICU units with a positive test… what does that tell you?
It tells you any emergency is over and testing, restrictions and whatever else is pointless.

Quite a good example of why context matters. UK testing far more than other countries, so all else equal we tend to have comparatively high cases nos. Look at cases as % of tests or hospitalisations or deaths & charts are different. Rising, yes. But nothing like that case chart

Important context:
When PM announced lockdown easing, Imperial produced these projections for hospitalisations for SPI-M.
We’re running below even the best-case scenario.
Clearly things could change - and quickly.
Cases are rising. The variant is spreading.
But context matters.

I for one feel reassured that the government have at last recognised that this virus only gets busy after 10pm. It’s also knows if you are at a funeral or a wedding. It can also spot if you can’t work from home or are at school and that it’s always your 7th mate who has it.

France were at same levels as us over a MONTH ago.. they are now at c13k per day
Why the hell would we suddenly jump to 50k per day by mid October ?!
The graph Whitty used was to scare, it was reckless for people’s anxiety levels imo.

France allows 5000 fans into stadium for Rugby game 👍🏽
They have four times the cases we do in this country.
Hopefully it takes another country to lead the way and show us many of our freedoms should return.

The COVID Symptom Study app is estimating that the number of people with virus symptoms is well below where we were in July.
Daily cases ticking up, but other measures are not showing reasons to panic.
We need to look across all the data, not just reported cases.
Andy Stuart retweeted
I've been really frustrated with the debate over the last week and it's not been helped by our politicians.
There seems to be no distinction between caution and fear.
Other countries have struck the balance well, we have not. The consequences of it are so far-reaching.

Do I think there’s going to be a #SecondWave now? – at Dorridge, England

Positive news is coming on Oxford Covid-19 vaccine. The vaccine is generating the kind of antibody and T-cell (killer cell) response that the researchers would hope to see, I understand. Details soon in @TheLancet itv.com/news/2020-07-15/posi…

This plank would have been striding around the Titanic shouting, “I will certainly NOT get into a lifeboat, I am at supper. This is a monstrous imposition.”
Andy Stuart retweeted
Still my belief. Still no new admissions. Was chatting to a colleague at UCL Partners yesterday, things remain quiet in London too from an ICU perspective.
Do I think we’re going to see a #SecondWave? My personal view, from my frontline armchair and NOT as an epidemiologist or virologist!

Something that’s concerning me: how come with enforced social distancing, Nicola Sturgeon’s hair is immaculate? All done herself? Always? I think we should be told! C’mon Nicola! All your own work? Surely not! One rule for the rulers...
