Very cool story by @JamesTGallagher about a convo on a London bus that led to the creation of the RECOVERY trial, which has been a shining (& too rare) example of how to do critical research in a pandemic. Bravo @PeterHorby & @MartinLandray h/t @hildabast bbc.com/news/health-56…

Am confused. Can't politicians learn from mistakes? Every time restrictions aimed at #COVID control are lifted, the numbers go up. Numbers aren't below those at the start of the 3rd wave and restrictions are going down, masks are coming off and numbers are starting to climb.


Hard to believe tonight is the 1 year anniversary of the @ProMED_mail alert of what we now know as #COVID19 (#SARS_CoV_2 ). We learned so much, but still have so much to learn.

This is a very sad state of affairs.

We have all received death threats. We are scientists, we are public health professionals, we are people.
