@imajez1@ProfTimBale Similarly if the Labour govt kept the NHS spend flat during 2008 - 2010, the contraction of global GDP during the collapse would make it look like it had increase spending.
@imajez1@ProfTimBale The recent Tory govts are little off the peak NHS spending of the last Labour govt but only if GDP has REMAINED constant throughout. This reveals the deep flaw with percentages. If GDP grows 5% and NHS spending as a percentage of it falls 1%, it is still a net gain to the NHS.
@unfoldingtheatr My son wrote a lockdown lament entitled “Please let me out”. Mine would be “Please let me in”. Throw open the theatre doors and please let us in. Three minute bell, house lights down, let the late comer squeeze past you, stage lights up, let the magic begin!
Ran our 1st in-person workshops since Mar 2020 yesterday. Weren't sure how many would come. Told ourselves, "It's ok if there's just a few. It's the start of a process. It's a sunny day..."
Reader, FIFTY FIVE turned up. Hearts full.
(& Covid risk assessment tested to the max!)
Happy #WorldTheatreDay! Missing actual theatres so much. But proud of everything we've done in the last year to bring a bit of theatre to doorsteps, zooms, outdoor spaces... and more zooms.
@justintime991@a_leesha1@justintime991 You’re right. This is a data viz I made in April. Outbreaks of Coronavirus are much more likely to occur in households.
