I am going to sign out for a while—good luck out there!
Do people really believe that cracking down on sick notes can solve the problem of 850,000 more people being economically inactive since covid? Given that at least 850,000 people, and their carers, know otherwise—can this hateful rhetoric really be a vote-winner?

The good thing about Rishi Sunak moaning about so many people being off sick is that it does highlight that so many people are actually off sick, like we've been saying all along.

This isn’t really true - UK has pretty low levels of sickness absence when you come to international comparisons. Why? Because someone relying on statutory sick pay who has a week off sick has to live on just £44/wk… pretty strong incentive to work even if you are sick

Is it possible to be a respected academic while having and talking about Long Covid? Stay tuned and find out!
We don't have a "sicknote" culture, we have a "sick? No you're not" culture
Neurodivergence & effects of Covid-19 Research thread
We need to share this as widely as possible #SaveCarlasLife Carla has now been having seizure-like events for over FIVE DAYS yet @WestMidHospital has STILL not sent a neurologist to see her, as of 10am today. She had NEVER had them before being admitted there #ExposeMENow WATCH
🤍We stand in solidarity with Carla as how can we not? 🤍Her life is in danger because Drs do not believe ME is a biological disease 🤍Together we call for compassionate care for Carla #SaveCarlasLife #ExposeMENow
Imagine being very sick and going to the hospital because you need help. But you have #severeME and they don't follow scientific guidelines + don't believe in your illness and you enter a nightmare instead. This is happening to #SaveCarlasLife and lots of others right now! 1/
Only those who experiences severe light sensitivity and how much worse it can make you with PEM understand the agony of not covering that damn windows. Making her beg for it when she can't talk is just unforgivable regardless what disease she's suffering from. #SaveCarlasLife

PERSISTENT ABSENCE I’ve been scratching my head trying to figure out where this magical 440,000 figure came from which the DfE are quoting as the reduction in persistent absence… …because that’s NOT what the official data shows!! Read on to find out more… 🧵⬇️

My four-month streak of not experiencing the stabbing arm and neck pains (from Long Covid) ended today. Still, four months pain-free is my new record (by a lot!)

@oonagh_cousins Idk how this data was put together but the way this is framed can be different depending on the system each country has. Germany has had record breaking numbers of sick leave, the economy even shrank because of it last year. 😵💫
@oonagh_cousins I think the numbers with long covid unable to work at all is still relatively low though real. Lots of people still struggling on with work in some form despite illness.
Covid is in all of these countries, but it is only in the UK that the share of working age people out of employment has risen post pandemic. I would predict that LC is contributing to this UK trend but these graphs would suggest there are also other factors at play.
The GBD said ‘focused protection’ would lead to herd immunity in 3-6 months. It’s now almost 4 YEARS later. Did I miss the herd immunity transition? Imagine having signed this. To be proud of having brought Flat Earth science into public health.
The rain in Sydney is so intense that even if the rainstorm is not over you, and so for you it isn’t raining, you can still sometimes hear it roaring
@maosbot If cooler heads prevail, nuclear wars will be avoided and the threat will be low to none. Global warming, however, will unleash a LOT of unknown all at once. What will emerge from the permanent frost, which pathogens will get new strong holds. Habitat loss, crop fails, flooding..
I am someone who has faced harassment for merely talking and writing about a related condition, chronic fatigue syndrome. I’ll settle for making it less acceptable to attack scientists and science-respecting people just because they are addressing these conditions.
Is it possible to be a respected academic while having and talking about Long Covid? Stay tuned and find out!
The thing I found most disturbing in the board debacle was that hundreds of OpenAI staff signed a letter that appears to treat the old-fashioned OpenAI view "OpenAI's mission of ensuring AGI benefits humanity matters more than our success as a company" as not just wrong, but…
I've seen a few people remark that it's ironic that the workers of OpenAI sided with their billionaire CEO over a non-profit board. But that misunderstands the board's intended purpose — never protecting OpenAI staff from its leadership, but rather protecting society from OpenAI…

@maosbot @MichelleSairsel Labour announced their own plans to pick on us weeks ago.
@EconAndrew To group the data like this, the categories need to align, but my experience of the two countries is that they don't. I also wonder if assessing pedestrian safety as part of the safety of the car might be part of it. Tho, there are a lot of Ford Rangers on the road now!
Am I misinterpreting this chart? If it’s saying Australia and the US have the same percentage of cars that are SUVs or light trucks, as a on-road stock measure, I’m not sure I believe that. (Even allowing that the composition of that category is different in each place.)
