This photo of Tuvalu’s virtual address to the Climate Conference says everything that should need to be said. #COP26

1/ Things seem really bad at the moment. That's because things ARE really bad at the moment. But I wanted to share a perspective that might encourage you a little.

Word of the day (again) is 'ipsedixitism': the dogmatic insistence that something is a 'fact' without providing any supporting evidence.

1. For months we’ve been trying to find figs & science behind Govt quarantine policy, both in March when we had no quarantine & now.
Basic Q; how many people do Govt estimate are arriving in UK w Covid19? No answer again today. Why?

The story we keep hearing is that millions of people suddenly and simultaneously lose their minds: crowding the beaches, packing the streets of Soho etc. But if lots of people do the same thing at the same time, it’s not a coincidence. It’s because of signals the government sends

I very much appreciate people being glad I’ve ‘recovered’ but I must warn you I’m way off the finished job! I hobble with a stick and only over a few metres, struggle with stairs, become breathless and dizzy and only have full sight in one eye and full hearing in one ear.

Bit of a downer, perhaps. But what is it about the phrase “global pandemic” that is hard to grasp?
If you travel to places with lots of other people, if you don’t keep your distance - you will help to sustain the virus.
We can all do our part to keep the most vulnerable safe.

If you want to be a true ally to #BlackLivesMatter please watch this.
Thank you to @HamiltonMusical's wonderful @ObiomaUgoala

I have a sense of grim foreboding about this. The government's releasing us from lockdown before it has the pandemic under control. If reopening schools etc proves disastrous, people won't accept a 2nd lockdown, as the govt has torched its credibility. Then we're completely stuck

Spain deaths y'day: 2
UK deaths y'day: 324
Spain won't open schools until September

In the absence of a Government commitment to do so, I promised to publish regular updates on regional R numbers. So here’s a table published today by @cmmid_lshtm. Not a great deal of “room for manoeuvre”, as the Chief Scientific Adviser told the @10DowningStreet daily briefing.

If everyone who is grateful for NHS staff right now followed and retweeted, we would reach a million by midnight.
It will take just two seconds to do, and you can help us share important information that could help save lives.

Robert Jenricks, Radio 4: ‘if you can’t work at home, you can go to work’ Utterly hopeless contradictory messaging & policy from govt that directly threatens NHS. Puts people in terrible situation where no choice if their employer demands they work tells them inc travel by tube

If these rules don’t alter how you’ve been living over the last couple of days, then you’ve been doing the last couple of days correctly.

Two things are needed from today’s press briefing:
(1) clarification that only key workers should go out to work
(2) a financial package for self-employed, contractors & freelancers
Then everyone will be able to #StayAtHome, pull together & get this thing beaten. 👍
