Stephen's experience reflects millions of others affected by antimicrobial resistance each year.

It's one of the biggest health challenges we face.

We need more ambitious and coordinated action to tackle the growing threat of all drug-resistant infections.

So, the bugs that put me in hospital recently were multi-resistant E. coli. No oral antibiotics would work, so I was on IV for 8 days; 2nd line was looking challenging had the infection not responded.

#AMR isn't a new problem, but the can is continuously kicked down the road...

The escalation of military activity in and around Rafah by the IDF is further impeding humanitarian access & worsening an already dire situation.

At the same time, Hamas goes on firing rockets indiscriminately.

Civilians must be respected & protected at all times.

This is disgusting, and the fact they're not being stopped is disgusting too.

Interesting to chart inactivity rates by country of birth; rise among UK-born partly offset by sharp fall amongst non-UK born.

Suggests very high % of new migrants are working (consistent wtih today's MAC report.)

Look forward to speaking at #HIMMS Europe in Rome. “From Drawing Board to Ward: Demonstrating the Value of Your AI Solution” scheduled from 11:30 to 12:20 on May 31st.

I have suffered GI complications following SARS2 infection, it is an area that needs more research...

Great to be included here along with Prof Sheena Cruickshank (she/her) and Danny Altmann, an Independent SAGE immunology/Virology special!

One of the many things I love about London is people coming on to tube platforms, seeing the next train is arriving in 4 mins, and then huffing and tutting as if this is an outrageous imposition.

Hot take...

Stop encouraging this political tribalism.

These threads are just the equal and opposite response to those who are anti-mask.

Be the change you want to see in the world.

I'm anxious to learn what all of this fluA activity in California is.

CA has not been reported to have any H5-infected herds, they don't have a lot of wild birds contributing to their wastewater, and this isn't flu season.

TLDR: definitely in a new wave.

Latest UK labour market figures are out. We have barely turned the corner; in fact things are getting worse in some areas. Number of people in work is falling. The number of people who are neither working nor looking for work (2.83m) due to long term sickness is STILL going up.

Here's my deal on the NYT polling out this AM. The Sun Belt battlegrounds are an abject disaster for Biden, & NYT is not the first to show that.

The Great Lakes battlegrounds are something Biden's campaign can work with. It leaves him a (narrow) path to 270 at this point

Families & children, returning to UNRWA schools in Khan Younis to seek 'safety' & 'shelter'.

Extensive damage from where these @UN facilities have already been impacted. There is no water available in Khan Younis.

A new level of desperation, unfolding under the world's watch.

Considering we only need as little as 5 mins or so sunshine per day to get sufficient vitamin D I completely concur with türkan yüksel as not wearing sunscreen is majorly linked to cancer not to mention premature skin ageing.

Please please please ignore this.

And keep wearing sunscreen. 🧴

With #H5N1 #birdflu spreading amongst dairy cows, one of the most important things to think about right now is what would need to happen for this virus to actually start a pandemic.
I'm on a train, so a brief thread...
