@Sandyboots2020 Our kids continue to wear FFP3 at school. Unfortunately, for our younger one โ she is the only one in the whole prep/primary school - but she doesnโt mind at all
@microlabdoc Similar problem. This year there is even more abundance with the warm weather. Already had few rounds of cake, pie, crumble, chutney.. still at least 200 hanging.
Some periodic thoughts on today's White House Summit on Indoor Air Quality...
@AshishKJha46 kicks off by drawing parallel with water. Important that policy solution for water was NOT to put everything on people to boil own water, but to have institutionalized and systemic change
Madhuโs speech at the International AIDS Conference just shook global health at the core. Three excerpts here.
1) Global health structures are racist; and this is not a bug, it is a feature.
With school opening in #Scotland in less than a month we should absolutely fight for better ventilation in schools @Parents_Utd @ZeroCovidScot else we run into perpetual cycle of reinfictions with new variant
1/3 Research briefing of our Nature paper on Omicron is now available. I am extremely honoured to have served as the lead statistician for this extremely important and timely paper. Thanks, @emcat1 for leading the team.

1/3 The Research Briefing relating to our Omicron paper is now online https://t.co/BTwv8iXqGU. We highlight the role of the EVADE team (from @NHSGGC SafeHaven, statisticians @SurajitStat, @CVRinfo virologists, bioinformaticians and clinicians) that prospectively analysed the data
2/3
here is the link to the Nature paper. We successfully linked millions of health data records, vaccine data, and genomic data to understand the immune escape behavior of Omicron variant

While we were focused on the wave of full and half resignations ONS released new figures today of 2 million people estimated to be living with #LongCovid in the UK, including 105,000 kids. Out of the 2 million, 807,000 had it for at least 1 year & 403,000 for at least 2 years.
Glad to be part of the team working tirelessly over the Christmas break (early part of Omicron wave) to understand the difference from previous waves
