If I was at all normal and actually had the ability to express my thoughts in a coherent manner I would have pretty much said this...

How much immunity do you need to stop COVID? And what about the variants?
Here's the way I am currently thinking about it. Please imagine these models written in crayon. They are not formal, just where my head is at. 🧵 https://t.co/FyFrnirY5l

This is a fascinating thread suggesting the blip we had in mid-Feb, when the fast decline in cases started to plateau (it’s falling rapidly again) was due to the cold snap we had a week earlier = more indoors https://t.co/GsV49Ac3Nj

On a lighter note
Here is a dad who took his 6 year old child's drawings and turned them into real animals.

because I just can't cope with people and politicians and ambition and selfishness today.
So let's just have fun instead.
Sod em all.

And you think you have problems with the press misquoting you @devisridhar look at what @DrSusanNasif woke up to.
It's bordering on deliberate now. Worldwide. https://t.co/22gtUtEp44
@violafarnese Yes.
When I talked to the journalist, I said WE DON'T KNOW how the #SARS_COV_2 would behave in the Summer. It might decrease, continue steadily or increase.
The journalist entitled:
MIGHT AGGRESSIVELY INCREASE! ...
The sad thing people:
do NOT
- see "might"
- read the article

A few of us are quite clever, maybe half a percent of us anyway. Most of us are kind of normal. And some of us are a bit thick. We all have our own separate life ambitions.
But the little SARS-CoV2 virus is smarter than us. It's only life ambition is to evade our immune system.

Just to clarify- false headline. This isn’t what I said & would be self-sabotage. I was asked about international experience of vaccination cards & talked about Israel’s system & explained their rationale. Not saying what we should or shouldn’t do here. https://t.co/WJQ1HzzS6j

For many years it has not been necessary to restrict liquids & put them in a plastic bag at the airport and yet we still do.
Freedoms are taken away far more easily than they are given back.
Be careful about what is being taken.

The ultimate in gaslighting. Fat man pretends not to be fat https://t.co/JDjd6Eti5A
I’ve been doing all I can to lose weight, and I'm not only fitter and healthier but also happier for it.
I'm pleased we’re investing £100 million into services to get the country healthier so we can all – quite literally – bounce back better. https://t.co/twD2EYFwyR

I realise this sounds offensive but there seems to be an increasing proportion of career academics who've turned into total twats since covid19 started.
The only good thing about their arrogant look at the chip on MY shoulder attitude is that Twitter is beneath them
Mostly 😉😏
