    OUR NEW PAPER. Factors associated with COVID-19-related hospital death in the linked electronic health records of 17 MILLION adult NHS patients. Largest study of its kind ever, anywhere. The power of UK / NHS data, realised.

    Very sensible. We need safe streets for social distancing during lockdown.

    Replying to @bengoldacre
    Ben, could you support this petition for safer streets to allow for 2m distancing? Implementing/enforcing 20mph just a starting point.

    We need pandemic resilient transport infrastructure.

    New cycle tracks - aka pandemic resilient infrastructure - emerging on Ferry Lane. Connecting to Tottenham Hale. Nice one

    Scented toilet paper is an unexpected substitution from Ocado. I had NO IDEA some of you were rubbing perfumes into your anus but I love all of humanity.

    Lockdown will be back. We need some new transport laws to make 2 metres distancing practical. 10mph for cars in residential and central roads so pedestrians can step out. Vicious presumption of guilt for cars hitting people. Invest in sane bicycle routes for commutes.

    (btw is where is posting his stuff now, and if you can get over wondering how he finds the time it's as great as it has been for (suddenly... we're all so... old... I remember when boingboing.. b3ta.. NTK.. usenet...): "decades")

    Why we need to tag-team the work when pushing back against morons.

    Oxford is a perfect starfish, the best city design, EVERYWHERE is close to greenery AND urban. This perfect shape makes a mockery of angst around the "green belt". It's just an excuse to keep prices up. Push the starfish out. Make it bigger. More homes.

    I've been pretty meticulous about lockdown. Tonight we're getting Indian takeaway. I believe the reasoning around cooked food being fine. But poppadom, Twitter? Nan bread? These are all touched by hands not spoons. (I'm not going crazy over this btw, just a passing thought).

    Ha! See the q-link pendant (and video of me looking about 5 years old) here

    Pulling apart a £339 anti-5G USB stick ⁦⁩ they’ve definitely adjusted the Q-link pendant business model for inflation... and apparently credulity.
