🧵How much should the NHS worry about this winter's flu wave?
You may have seen this alarming headline on the BBC website today...
I think it's too early to make this claim and the data does not support it.
I think it will be a bad flu season but no evidence to think worse than previous yrs

Also, if you're "in bed with flu", it's almost certainly Covid.
After a long pause, I've just done another England Covid & NHS update as we head into the autumn/winter season.
TLDR: we're in a significant Covid wave now, the NHS is stretched, get boosted if you're eligible.

No immigrant has ever sacked me, or cut my wages, or offshored my job, or closed my hospital, or stopped my mum's disability benefits, or crashed the economy.
Those things were all done by white English men who went to Oxford and wore a nice suit.

What an amazing film. We are going back to watch it the second time.
If you’ve read the Guardian review, ignore it. He totally didn’t understand the film. Maybe it was too deep & thoughtful for him.
