⁦British Medical Journal study. If 1000 people cycled to work for 10 years, there would be 3 more longer hospital stays due to accidents but 15 fewer cancer diagnosis, 4 fewer cardiovascular events and 3 fewer deaths. Answer, increase cycle commuting but with safe cycle routes.

While Toilet Duck and Dettol are trending, here's a reminder of the word 'ultracrepidarian': one who consistently offers opinions and advice on subjects way beyond their understanding.

This is the best measure I’ve seen of quite how few #COVID19 tests the UK has done. It is an international league table of countries ranked by percentage of population tested, compiled by Julian Ozanne (who was on FT with me in another life). The UK comes 20th out of 20

This is NOT how you do science in a crisis. That “study” you’ve probably read about running/cycling and viral spread? There is no study to read, it was some modelling shared straight to Twitter. Not even a pre-print. Don’t be like Bert. Do better. 🤦🏻‍♂️ #COVID19

In November 1970, officials in Oregon, USA decided to blow up a rotting whale carcass. The whole thing went horribly wrong. Why do we bring this up? Well, this story can teach us 3 things about #coronavirus ⬇️

Assessed 3 patients today, all newly diagnosed with cancer and all told they will not be considered for treatment because of Covid. All will die sooner than they would have. These are the figures that are not recorded #tipoftheiceberg
