What you should know (A THREAD) I became ill with M.E. at 15, due to a virus. I disappeared from my life. Since 2006, I have spent 1825 days in hospital. I was bed bound for 12 YEARS and housebound for longer. I've had 4745 blood thinning injections. (1) #PwME #MedTwitter

This is the remarkable moment that Nathaniel Dye MBE crossed the finish line for the London Marathon playing his trombone. What makes this moment even more extraordinary is that Nat has stage four cancer, which is killing him. Follow Nat’s journey/donate: bowelcancerbucketlist.com

For M.E. Awareness Week, I have written a poem. I wrote this poem when I was in a flare up and finally felt well enough to read it out yesterday. Please SHARE this. Living with this disease at the moment is HARD. #pwME #MedTwitter #MEAwarenessHour

The national service nonsense does give me the opportunity to tweet one of my favourite recent bits of polling when Ipsos actually ran the famous "Yes Minister" questions as a randomised experiment, and showed that it worked.

Highlights segment about #MECFS on BBC Breakfast. Dr William Weir and Binita Kane talk about the history of #MECFS how it has been psychologised and the frustrating lack of progress. There are now millions of patients with Long Covid and we have no treatments.

Very moving testimony from Prof Dr Kevin Fong who saw the devastation from Covid first hand. Our hospital staff are utter heroes. Political decisions made during this time were very poor. Lest we forget.

NZ's initial pandemic response was an elimination strategy: we knew the health system was under-resourced for mass outbreaks. There was very real hardship in NZ. But there was terrible mortality in the UK, US, Italy, & others. After 2 years NZ had lost just 53 people. 1/2

Sam Power LOL! You are so polite. I refuse to review ML conference papers. It is abundantly clear that they are all a total scam. We all know it, but most people are too polite to say it out loud. To be clear, I don't think regular journal publishing is great, but that's another story.
