TL:DR COVID has increased social isolation, & risk of depression & toxic loneliness. A behavioural intervention helped older ppl maintain social interaction & networks. strong signal of effect in reducing loneliness. bigger trial underway. NHS is amazing. 
Our #COVID19 trials programme is called Behavioural Activation in Social Isolation (BASIL), and here is a dodgy video of me:
2020 has been extraordinary.

1)In the last 12 months we have built up a team of Neuro-critical care, resuscitation science, early rehabilitation and COVID19/PIMS-TS researchers for in Birmingham to improve the lives of critically unwell children. Currently called the S(cholefield)-Lab pending a better name!

Good morning everyone, it’s @SDonatta on the account today, talking all things #research and #researchnurses alongside @HeatherB18 and @Sammycad77 join us @WeStudentNurse @WeNurses @UHBResearch #HCPnetwork #whywedoresearch
But first #tea . What’s your brew of choice?
My first job in #research was as a #clinicaltrialsassistant during my uni years and I quickly learnt it was different from the research taught at university as part of #nursing curriculum #HCPnetwork
1/3 The UK Oxford COVID-19 serology study now available here doi.org/10.1101/2020.0… - 9 serology tests assessed in 31-40 COVID-19 patients and 60-142 controls. Well done study to the research team BUT (sorry ... ) ... #COVIDー19 #nihr @NDMOxford
2/3 ... the authors can’t tell us what the 9 tests were as manufacturers insisted on anonymity. How should we interpret the results? What about the other 100+ tests?
Study was funded by NIHR, MRC and UK Government.
When are such corporate anonymity restrictions unethical?

3/3 Anonymity agreements can only create publication bias, and reduce the value of the study.
The COVID-19 epidemic must be the time to stop tolerating such corporate protectionism. Lives are at stake.

"The Lancet‘s fraudulent concealment of genetics, and its own conflicting interests, while condemning #coronavirus conspiracy theorists, gives the appearance of “crisis capitalism,” and complicity in the COVID-19-SARS/HIV-1 #Wuhan ‘Event 201‘ biocrime."
The 'Scientific' arguments going on behind the scenes on #Covid_19 should be a wake-up call to the 'TRUE' dangers the world is being exposed to! 'BOTH' sides of the argument are labelling the other 'Conspiracy Theorists'. Only one of them can be!
The Lancet writes that "Conspiracy theories do nothing but create fear, rumours, and prejudice...." #Covid_19
