“If they really are refugees, why don’t they have to stay in the first safe country they reach?”
“Why don’t they just claim asylum in France?”
Here is my answer, once & for all. To Jonathan Gullis, and to everyone else who ever wondered.

Anyone else flummoxed at the claims of 'it's endemic/near-endemic' amid the highest case rates we've *ever* seen, after the *fastest* exponential growth of the virus we've *ever* seen?

🧵 COVID-19: The unbearable 'mildness' of Omicron
The 'Omicron is mild' narrative was seeded very early and is being heavily pushed at the moment by the usual scientists, journalists & politicians.
Students of context should be cautious on these grounds alone.

Where does all the NHS money go? A 💈
Constant wrangling over NHS finances: it’s a bottomless pit - it’s mismanaged - it’s a huge amount - it’s not enough - will never be enough....
Where to start with all of this?
Let’s take a look....

We are speaking to many MPs at the moment about NHS privatisation.
We’re told frequently ‘my constituents don’t mind private companies running NHS services’.
Do you mind? 🚨
If you mind, pls RT 💙

It really isn’t fair how covid is allowed to spread so uncontrollably in school-aged kids. I feel like a broken record, but I can’t stop saying this. Kids paid such a high price to protect the adults in the first year of the pandemic & now the adults don’t seem to care. Not fair.

There were 229,000 new cases of coronavirus in the world yesterday. The UK provided 20% of them. 1 in 5 of the new cases in the whole world was on our little island.

When we did our risk-benefit analysis on vaccinating teens (now in press @EditorJRSM), our worst case scenario was case rates of 1000/100,000/week in children for 16 weeks.
At those high case numbers, vaccines were incredibly beneficial for kids... 1/2

1.THREAD on Covid, children, failure, bafflement and anger.
TLDR: English policy has failed children, and then everyone else, I am baffled why people aren't angrier. I am angry.

If you have symptoms of any infectious respiratory disease, you should minimise human contact irrespective of what your PCR or lateral flow test says. It’s a British tradition to go to work or your GP when you’re shedding billions of virus particles, and it’s time we stopped it.
Here's a good summary of where we are with COVID in Britain just now (tl;dr: not in a good place) - please share, and keep taking care of yourselves and those around you, especially with ventilation and masks, even when we are under pressure to act like we're "back to normal now"

1 in every 20 secondary school kids in England has covid (ONS- yesterday). One of the most staggering pandemic statistics ever. Based on all the evidence I’ve seen, in my opinion the delay in offering teen covid vax was inexplicable & unforgivable in a country that can afford it.

The UK is carrying out a unique experiment in just ditching precautions and allowing such high numbers of cases - @chrischirp sharing this comparison at the @IndependentSage briefing. 1000 deaths a week has somehow become normalised.
