The thing is we’re going for growth and couldn’t have afforded the bank holiday anyway

Wow! Awesome piece of work!

Trying to stop the spread of bird flu (and other poultry pathogens!) has been proving immensely difficult, with no easy fixes. I write about why this is today in The @Telegraph. 🐔🦠

"It is best we start now, to minimise the number of times we continue to roll the dice on a new pandemic."  🎲 A brilliant op-ed, penned by Dr @ThomRawson, in @Telegraph discussing the risk of #H5N1 & what we can do to avoid potential disaster. 👀👉 https://t.co/SrYqblKRrJ

@ClaireHill_ @PLOSCompBiol Thanks so much Claire! Means a lot coming from an expert sci-commer like yourself 😇

[Thomas Rawson @ThomRawson]

New paper out in @PLOSCompBiol looking at how various demographic factors across areas of England influenced (and didn't influence) transmission of COVID-19 during the #pandemic. https://t.co/L9K42yp1Mc
Allow me to condense the main message and findings below! 🧵

A big thanks to everyone involved with the project. @liza_p_semenova for some excellent code support, R. Sonabend for the non-epi perspective, W. Hinsley for data wizardry, and @dr_anne_cori and @neil_ferguson for the best mentoring there is. Time to get to work on the next one!

[Thomas Rawson @ThomRawson]

Our paper looks at England at the "LTLA"-level. That's England divided up into 306 little chunks. And each of these little chunks had their own, often very different, number of COVID-19 cases over time. See in fig A) the national totals of new cases, B&C) examples of two LTLAs.

[Thomas Rawson @ThomRawson]

This is ofc a v. brief summary, you may be thinking: "But what about X? Did you not consider Y!?". We have a big thick supplementary doc attached that looks at all these specifics. In general, every tweak and consideration does not change the headline results above.
