BBC reports that excess deaths in 2022 were among the worst in 50 years. This is based on a crude comparison with deaths in 2019 (9% more) – not adjusting for changes in population size and age. But there are other (in my view better) ways of looking at excess deaths/mortality.

Found these at the back of a cupboard. Only 12 months out of date but will risk it. Is it wrong to miss them so much?

Anyone interested in the news today about polio should read this clear and simple thread which says most of what you need to know
Dr Jenner’s House@DrJennersHouse22 Jun 2022
Ok, so let's talk polio or, to give it its full name, poliomyelitis. This is a viral infection caused by poliovirus. The virus is spread via the oral-faecal route and in 72% of cases is asymptomatic. Unfortunately the virus can spread to the central nervous system... 🧵 1/14 👇

PACES delivered by @RCPhysicians is overseen by the Senior PACES examiner who sits on Council, usually has run the exam many times before and is an FRCP of many years standing.

Really great to see this. Susan has been brilliant in the response to COVID and monkeypox and am proud she is an FRCP.
