There'll be >1000 #UKCOVID deaths this weekend

Incubation ~5d
Symptom onset to ICU ~11d
ICU admission to death ~7d

So most of this weekend's deaths will have acquired infection week commencing 9th March.

Official government advice that week...

Great to go back to #mvcc and talk about my work with @Bruneluni looking at non-haemopoietic circulating cells in colorectal and prostate cancer #liquidbiopsy

@g_strawson @c_directive @ClwydTweets Loved visiting the seaside to see @g_strawson perform. Think I’ve seen #frogman 5 times now and has got better and better with every watch

[Georgina Strawson @g_strawson]

Frogman again but this time in Portsmouth! Lovely day in the sunshine... no I mean to say ignore the swans and seagulls and come see a coming of age thriller with me and some show stopping VR. @c_directive @newtheatreroyal

Due to recent offline & online interest & discussions, I thought I would do a tweetorial on our @JAMAOnc article re: WW after cCR in rectal cancer patients @sloan_kettering to clarify some points. https://t.co/hUJWnPd0qP

‘be wary of the question ‘What would you do doc?’ Your life circumstances and the patient’s are totally separate. What you would do is irrelevant and may influence a patient unfairly.’ Couldn’t agree more with this. Also particularly pertinent in the #oncology clinic.

Some simple advice for new GP trainees

@aman999arora and @Emedica would love both of your thoughts on these suggestions.

Excited for the latest podcast from @Ponder_Med

[Thomas Strawson-Smith @DrTomUK]

Very excited to hear this

[Thomas Strawson-Smith @DrTomUK]

@antanddec Was looking glorious yesterday #costadeltyne

[Thomas Strawson-Smith @DrTomUK]

Definitely the right thing to do. From now on all my letters will be addressed to the patients I see with a focus on language which is appropriate.

[Victoria Derbyshire @vicderbyshire]

Have just been awarded an honorary degree by @ICR_London in recognition, they say,
of my ‘extraordinary efforts to demystify the patient experience of cancer’. I did get choked up. So honoured. Thank you.

The pharmacy team tell me there's a national shortage of 500mg Capecitabine tablets. That means some patients having to take lots of 150mg tabs instead. Yuk!
