The message is simple - if the mandatory test in HK has to happen, timing is the key - don't do it when the wave is still peaking, safer to do it in late April

Inequalities in mortality from #COVID19 - the social gradient - are similar to inequalities in mortality from all causes, suggesting that the the general causes of health inequalities as laid out in #Marmot2020 apply to COVID19 plus some extra in more deprived areas.
Office for National Statistics (ONS)@ONS
The mortality rate of deaths involving #COVID19 in the most deprived areas of England was more than double that in the least deprived areas: ▪️ most deprived: 128.3 deaths per 100,000 population ▪️ least deprived: 58.8 deaths per 100,000 population ow.ly/rA1b30qP5UG

We may all be in lockdown together, but the effects are far from equal. @Food_Foundation survey shows food insecurity: 200,000 skipping meals because of family food shortage.

Called nine hotels in Beijing last week. None were accepting foreigners. Several said no foreigners, no matter how long they've been in China.
Lily Kuo@lilkuo
Was told by this hotel in Shanghai @FraserSuitesSG that they are not accepting US citizens and 20 other nationalities, regardless of recent travel. I asked the woman at front desk what she would think if US hotels had blanket banned Chinese people. She just laughed uncomfortably.
