THREAD on the what the data shows a year from "Freedom day" across infections, NHS, kids, education, the economy, vulnerability... :
TLDR: data not showing a pretty picture - we are NOT successfully "living with Covid". But we can do things to make the next years better.

It has been 2 months since the first cases were reported in the MPX multi-country outbreak, & the # of cases has now crossed 14k globally. While accurate information is critical to staying ahead, there is so much misinformation. An update on the current status of #monkeypox.🧵

I'd like to see two runners at opposite points of a 400m track. After the starting pistol they run round in the usual direction and the first to catch up with the other wins. I think the tactics would be fascinating.

“You just get overwhelmed by the hate“
My colleague @cathleenogrady has collected data on the harrassment many scientists have faced in the pandemic (and before) and written an important story about how bad things have gotten. You really should read it

Delicate but important story well-told by @jcouzin and @GretchenVogel1 As scientists struggle to explain #LongCovid, some gingerly study similar symptoms in vaccine recipients science.org/content/article/…

Good to see all data now pointing to Covid incidence (new cases) peaking in England on Jan 4th - seen for cases in <60s & >60s & by test positivity
Covid prevalence as per ONS infection survey should peak 1-2 wks later (as in July)
Admissions plataeuing & should fall within days
