Congratulations to Cheng Hok for well deserved CBE

Very proud to have delivered JD Williams lecture today at FIS 2022 #FISHIS2022 reflecting on career and on favourite neglected zoonosis, brucellosis

📢 Published today in @NEJM to aid #monkeypox diagnosis: A global collaborative case series led by @ShareEastLondon @QMUL describing 528 confirmed infections from 43 centres in 16 countries + an image library. @rcgp @RCPhysicians bit.ly/3PGg7js @JohnPThornhill🧵

What's going on here?

Apparently we can’t look to most governments for this kind of clear messaging on the airborne nature of sars-2 (and other respiratory pathogens). This is a great video. Please amplify/pass it on.

💡Let this sink in—guns now kill more Americans between the ages of 1-24 than motor vehicle accidents. ➡️Before guns took the lead, vehicle accident deaths was once the leading cause for 60 years. Not anymore. #EndGunViolence economist.com/graphic-detail…

Declaration—@TheWHN Network today announced that they are declaring the current #monkeypox outbreak a pandemic with over 3500 cases across 58 countries and the rapidly expanding across continents. The outbreak will not stop without concerted global action. worldhealthnetwork.global/monkeypoxpress…

Nearly every conversation in Britain at the minute is about how it’s hot and meant to get even hotter tomorrow but after that it’s meant to rain.

Please don’t let anyone convince you this is due to bureaucracy, inefficiency, foreigners or immigrants. This is due to one thing alone. 12 years of deliberate, calculated NHS defunding & understaffing. They want you to hate us so they can break us. bbc.co.uk/news/health-61…

Got it! Thank you.

First #monkeypox tech briefing now out. Lots of essential information, not least for those assessing possible cases.

Very helpful and informative summary of old studies on viability of smallpox in the environment - most of which is not known for monkeypox

When Paddington Bear takes tea with the Queen. Exquisite. One to watch on repeat (and finally after 70 years we find what the Queen keeps in her handbag…) ❤️💙🤍#PlatinumJubilee

Platinum Jubilee perfection. ❤️

Imagine being treated as though we are no longer in the EU, just because we are no longer in the EU. Who could have predicted that?! express.co.uk/travel/article…
