@NuffieldTrust @nedwards_1 You will be missed a lot

Overdue 🧵on social care charging reform. It's been more than 2 weeks since the govt announced delay, but I wanted to let my anger and frustration settle. I’ve spent much time & energy working on this issue so here are my thoughts. 1/22

@lewis_goodall @sheepsheed1 A special shout-out to the restaurant phone apps that want you to pay in advance before you have any idea of the quality of food or service. If I wanted that, I would go to a cheap take-away, not a supposedly upscale pub.

@drjameslmurray It was so bad, I actually wondered whether we were part of some Customer Experience A/B testing experiment? Maybe there was a parallel boat running w/ self-service restaurant with actual food, plates, metal knives and forks and seats that didn’t make your bum numb after 10mins?

First trip on #poferries for 3 years for ���annual’ holiday trip to France. After a 1 hour check in process, massive disappointment all round to find no longer a restaurant onboard - just a pre boxed lukewarm inedible breakfast (£9:99!!). Next time we will take #leshuttle.

@HeathrowAirport What a lovely idea. Ignoring the fact that most people in half term travelling are families w/ children who are ineligible to use the gates. 2 hours after landing and I am still waiting for my bags to arrive - spent an hour already in the queue w/ small children for immigration

[Joanne Buckle @jobuckle]

2 hours since landed at #Heathrow and still no sign of bags. Spent an hour in a queue for immigration. First trip in 2 years - way to go to encourage people to start travelling again

[COVID-19 Actuaries Response Group @COVID19actuary]

The Continuous Mortality Investigation (CMI) has published its latest Mortality Monitor.

Key points:
- Results this week are affected by timing of Bank Holidays. These balance out over the year.
- There were 9% more deaths than if death rates were the same as this week in 2019

[The Private Healthcare Information Network @PHIN_UK]

Privately-funded hospital activity was 5% lower in December 2020 compared with the previous year - which is the closest to 2019 levels since the beginning of the pandemic. Find out more in our latest Covid-19 update: https://t.co/BuWq4XMWAJ

When confronted with rising costs and shrinking reimbursement, leaders at a respected regional hospital in California took a bold step to ensure that they could continue serving the needs of the community in a financially sustainable way. https://t.co/yaF3XTYtWf

[COVID-19 Actuaries Response Group @COVID19actuary]

We’re not expecting a CMI release today but @ActuaryByDay has done his usual instant reaction to the latest @ONS weekly deaths.

COVID-19 deaths continue to rise week-on-week, and this week that has translated into significant excess deaths when compared to the 5-year average.

@cjsnowdon Covid alert levels. What happened to those?

[Joanne Buckle @jobuckle]

@nytimes Clearly the author of this piece has not seen pictures of the desert that is central London. Life is nowhere near normal!

As it’s revealed police can break up large parties disregarding the law from Monday, many suggest starting in Westminster.
