Hospital admissions with COVID have risen sharply! 7-day average for England up 48%. Implied R estimate above 1.2. The highest we’ve seen in 2022. Regionally, the biggest increases are in SE (up 64%) and Mids (up 58%) but big increases everywhere. Bed occupancy is up by 37%.

Unfortunately hospital admissions with covid are rising steeply again across England. No specific variant to blame (yet) but a combo of waning immunity, changing behaviour, and a soup of new more immune evasive variants growing (but not yet dominant). 1/2

WOAH! BREAKING: Hospital admissions of covid positive patients in England up 48% in a week. Fourth Covid wave of 2022 now in full effect

The BA.4.6 variant now accounts for >12% of US cases, steadily rising. Its Arg346 mutation, shared w/ many of the new variants, makes it more immune evasive than BA.5, resistant to Evusheld prophylaxis and potential of reinfections after BA.5 thelancet.com/journals/lanin… @yunlong_cao

The people who dismissed the risks of Truss's fiscal policy causing a market meltdown were largely the same people who dismissed the economic risks of a No Deal Brexit. Not a coincidence.

Ok, two things. 1) Truss will be gone pretty soon. And 2) Conservative Party members should never again have the final say on who is Prime Minister of our country.

Have you had rain where you are yet? 🌧️ If so, did you notice the smell? 🤔 It's called Petrichor Here is why! 👇

Etymology of the day: ‘dog days’ take their name from the Dog Star, Sirius, long associated with sultry weather in the northern hemisphere because it rises with the sun during the hottest days of summer.

Simple question . . . why ?

@nedboulting Nice car park

@trishgreenhalgh Who?

@ilkleytown Uh oh

Barker skies it 2-3

@ilkleytown And presumably, that’s just the Ilkley fans!

🕑 90+1 A liner decision saves from defending a one on one Definitely can't write a word of what the fans and players said (3-3)

@daniellloyd1 Never mind inexperienced Remco, could be inexperienced DS…not used to chasing GC

A 600m effort for an intermediate sprint and then dropped on the next climb. Seems a strange one.

@ilkleytown @FootyScran @BacupBoro Who’s is the beer??
