Can anyone explain why, facing rising infections, the UK is seeking to speed up provision of the 2nd dose of vax in some regions?
I can see how this might make sense for mRNA vax, but Oxford-AZ seems to be *better* with 12 weeks between doses. Anyone? Perhaps @devisridhar?

I'm referring to this sort of data: bmj.com/content/372/bmj.n326
Am I missing something? Those 95%CI details for <6wk and >12wks suggest I'm not, but I'd love to hear if/how I am wrong. #MedTwitter #publichealth #globalhealth

happy international sex workers rights day! it’s always a good day to remember it’s a global and ongoing movement to decriminalize sex work, to provide mutual aid/resources to sex working communities, and to end stigma towards those in the sex industry.

With each lockdown, we see businesses/lobbying groups begging to be allowed to re-open. E.g., '...many Scottish businesses would be "left feeling deflated"...'
We are not begging. We are so grateful to be shut. Let's talk about why. 1/17 🧵

Does anyone have a link to info--preferably government website--on exemptions for indoor meetings for people living alone? (I can only see that there *are* exemptions, not any detail.)
Can I have a friend over for a physically distant cup of tea indoors?

Nerd pals, help a girl out? I (white) moved pawn to d4. It's now my opponent's (black) turn. How is black not in checkmate?
We are both deliriously tired and can't figure it out. Computer says the game isn't over. What are we missing?

The wee wander turned into a cycle around Arthur's Seat and then fish and chips from the new Fish place in Marchmont. They also do vegan "tofish" which looked good.
It's now raining again, so I guess that was Scottish summer?

NORMALISE THESE RESPONSES:
It's okay if you find the mask uncomfortable over your mouth or nose, but you can't come into the shop without covering both.
It's okay if wearing a mask makes you feel a little claustrophobic, but you can't come into the shop without wearing one. 1/5

'Endearingly completely bonkers' is the kindest, most honest assessment of our new books-by-bicycle service we've heard so far. THANK YOU.

A vital service, also endearingly completely bonkers:

Thrilled to find out it's not necessary to be able to draw three birds (or even one) in order to enjoy an authentic-ish @3birdsedinburgh dinner.
The vegan tikka masala was the highlight of my week (and these birds are my new quarantine companions). Delicious!
