I often used to wonder why more hospital healthcare workers didn't tell their stories in the press: TL;DR is that they are prevented from doing so.

5,007 folks died from Covid-19.

As a frontline NHS doctor, I fully support the @ExeterCouncil decision to promote meals without meat, eggs or dairy. A plant-based diet offers significant protection against the three most urgent threats to our health and wellbeing.

Unimaginable heat in China 🇨🇳

The longevity and intensity of the heatwave is hard to comprehend. Too many heat records to count, both day and night.

Beibei hit 45°C for two consecutive and some places not falling below 34°C at night.
