Who else here has written to their MP to express anger about #no10party ? Mine is @JHowellUK @conservatives and only other time I contacted him was abt #barnardcastle
I expect short shrift again. But still worth writing, no?

#COVAX has now delivered more than 800 million doses around the world and allocated 1.4 billion doses. Dramatic inequalities still exist between low- and high-income countries but we have made progress in the largest and most complex vaccine roll-out in history.

The best data by far on #LongCovid is out from the ONS
For kids, the news is incredibly reassuring - parents minds should be put to rest

Only 100 followers to go before I reach 50,000. Then I will quietly withdraw from Twitter and become a lurker. Been an interesting medium to share ideas & learn from others but it’s also an increasingly scary space to be active in.

THREAD: latest covid situation in UK (mainly England) and what I think is going on...
TLDR: I *do* think there has been a recent drop in transmission, due to combo of different things. Might not be quite as big as seems and might not last.
