Excited to be at #dddnorth tomorrow. And with my daughter too for the first time. Its incredible how much I've learnt over the years from these events.

@thenewsquiz if Simon Evans would like to meet with us who got sick and never recovered working on the NHS front lines during the pandemic, more than happy to help him understand the type of person we are.
Highly motivated, hard working and dedicated, now disabled & devastated!

[Dr Philip Lee @drphiliplee1]

When people ask what a collapse of the NHS would look like, it's this, it's already here.

It's not going to be bricked up hospitals and no one answering 999, it's going to be lowering standards and rationing care. Acknowledging we can no longer help everyone who calls.

Clarifying
boom&bust cycle=bad
Pacing=vital & hard
Recovery=not linear
1 crash a week=too many
6 weeks is not enough to show sustainable=I crashed after 6 month improvemnt
There is hope
Key=individual pacing, which is flexible
No wasn't involved with study

@kev_bite @DDDNorth @dotnetsheff Thankyou!

[Mark Thompson @mthompson]

@DDDNorth Sad - But agree its the right thing to do. Really looking forward to being able to attend in person again though.

[DDD North @DDDNorth]

Update: We had hoped to run @DDDNorth in person end of Feb, but due to the current situation, looking to push out later - we are in talks with the venue, and will keep you posted on what's decided. Not practical to run sooner, need to keep everyone safe.

The “kids rarely get sick from COVID” crowd need to sit down and stop endangering kids. It’s not just deaths (they happen!) or hospitalization (very tragic)— it’s also #LongCovid in kids. And it’s about to get worse—since the #DeltaVariant wave still not caught up in 🇬🇧. #COVID19

#longcovid I have good and bad days, there are days I want to curl up in a ball and hide because even the duvet is too heavy to lift!
Even on those days there is a smile to be found, in the smallest of things. Hugs under duvets from my snuggly little girl who reminds me its ok.

@JamieLaundon Ive had Arduinos (Arduino Every is brilliant) connected to card readers which do an HTTP post back to a raspberry pi. It worked really well. Looks like a great new addition to the Pi family though.

[Mark Thompson @mthompson]

@JamieLaundon Hopefully someone will manage it. Even basic Arduinos can get a network hat which provides (Admittedly basic) network functionality.

[Mark Thompson @mthompson]

@Screwfix No worries.. I wont be buying any at that price :-) Still got everything i needed though.

[Mark Thompson @mthompson]

Hey @Screwfix do you really want£1999.99 for hand sanitiser? I know its in demand but I can get it cheaper elsewhere (Everywhere) :-)

@JamieLaundon Interesting. Was just construction seeing giving in resisting myself.
