@Afro_Herper From my experience, go for a female only room. People still come in from partying all throughout the night but dramatically less snoring.

@303sec Kudos to you!

On the one hand I can't wait for lockdown to ease a bit, on the other hand I am terrified my already prevalent social anxiety has, over the last year, mutated into some sort of super anxiety where someone will ask how I am and I'll just laugh maniacally at them before passing out

Lockdown day 5: "I have started making my own bread!"

Lockdown day 320: "Nothing brings me joy, my motivation has perished, my body and brain is torn between the guilt of doing nothing and the fear of everything as my position in universe has been confirmed as meaningless"

@Tweetgood_Mac We attempted to continue our campaign of the board game Pandemic but couldn’t do it cos it felt too real

@ARMilani_ Imagine having the audacity to scrap education maintenance allowance and then, in the same breath, make education up to 18 compulsory. Whilst scrapping vocational GCSEs. And underfunding the arts. And trebling Uni tuition.

@thiagoarzua I was 22. Now, at 27, I’m quite proud of my collection !

I, and I suspect many of my biology people, find this very triggering 😬 https://t.co/S6cO1GeZ7Y

@kaymtye I’ve done lots of reaching out to fam and friends over this. Lots of people are afraid that it’s not tested fully, concerned about our (UK) govs handling of the rollout, misunderstand RNA and the immune response, concerned about long term effects. Discuss openly with them :)

@BlackWidowJola I think this happens in middle class/professional settings such as academia but within the communities of British towns this mentality is not the case, as far as my experience in my hometown goes. Getting married and having families in your 20s is normal and not demonised. 🤷🏻‍♀️

@BlackWidowJola Think you’re supposed to stay local like the exercise starts and ends at your house

Is this how you learn to program?

NEW: a common response to reports of hospitals struggling this winter is "it’s no different to a bad flu season!"

I’ve tracked down historical data on flu ICU admissions, including winter 2017-18, a record high.

Here’s how England’s Covid winter compares to a bad flu season 📹

2016: it’s only four years, how bad can it get

2021: are the armed insurrectionists storming the Capitol aware that there is a plague ravaging the land

Unpopular opinion (?) but most university staff are not key workers by any reasonable definition. The idea is to keep people at home to reduce the numbers of cases and also to reduce the numbers in school dramatically to reduce opportunities for transmission.
