This sounds like an amazing session! Anenta, an incredibly thoughtful cardiologist & researcher, is running a workshop on blood pressure and health inequalities - looking at how AI might level the playing field. She’s reimbursing attendees £50! Please retweet

Comment in @LancetRespirMed from colleagues in Italy on how useful the @ReactStudy has been in tracking the epidemic and impact of vaccination. Shame that the UK govt has decided not to fund REACT beyond April. thelancet.com/journals/lanre…

Omicron *may* pose a risk of increased severity to children under the age of 18 years. Risk remains *low* in absolute terms but needs to be watched carefully.

Received a letter asking you to take part in our #ReactStudy? By taking one quick and easy test at home, you can contribute to one of the world's biggest #COVID19 monitoring studies, and help us continue to keep communities safer. You can make a difference too. @UKHSA

Ever wondered what happens to data and samples in a cohort study? As part of our @PersonalisePLY project, artist in residence @stefpos looks into the system of the AIRWAVE Study in "Data Murmurations: Points in Flight". Have a look round here: peoplelikeyou.ac.uk/system/

UK currently having roughly as many daily COVID deaths as Germany, France and Italy put together, despite having just under a third of their total population.

Cases going up, hospitalisations going up, deaths going up. “Worst public health failure” not just historic, it continues. No surprise - same mask-sceptic at head of UKHSA, no investment in ventilation, govt message is all about individual responsibility not public health. 1/2

It’s so wonderful to see how integral function/disability and the episodic nature of this, has been to the @WHO case definition of #LongCOVID #EpisodicDisability apps.who.int/iris/rest/bits… Reflects our views in @GlobalHealthBMJ @KellyOBrien25 gh.bmj.com/content/6/9/e0…

Now nearly half a year later, @CDCgov has tweaked their guidance for N95s again "When supplies are available, individuals may choose to use a basic disposable N95 respirator for personal use, instead of a mask, in some situations." cdc.gov/coronavirus/20…

Yet another reason why the high infection rates we've had for 2+ months are a terrible idea

One assumption I commonly see on Twitter is that children have not had a serious Covid-19 infection because they did not require inpatient hospital treatment. In my medical practice, we have seen many children who have had a prolonged illness that was treated in the community.

Comprehensive report in @newscientist on the open letter to Gavin Williamson published in @bmj_latest & the subject of our international summit with @dgurdasani1. ‘Mass infection of children is “reckless”’ newscientist.com/article/223747…

How can schools reduce the spread of Covid-19 even in the colder months? The below 6 clips are from this morning's BBC Breakfast where I, my kids (et al) and the most excellent @RaeSnape show some of the things our Primary school will be doing. Part 1

Children are returning to school against a background of community infection levels 26 times higher than at the same time last year, and with the more transmissible Delta variant. This open letter calls for robust mitigation measures to make schools safe ow.ly/sZSy50G3FNF

COVID discussions still revolve around "two extremes—good health at one end, and hospitalization or death at the other. This ignores the hinterland of disability that lies in between..." no one tells the long-haul COVID story like @edyong209 theatlantic.com/science/archiv…

If you were wondering about the situation in hospitals in England for children with #COVID19 or RSV, it looks like this 👇 gov.uk/government/sta…

WTAF. Removing almost all mitigations from schools and then pushing blame for any future wave onto parents. This comes from the manual on how to abdicate responsibility.
