The response by the DHSC to the 'news' that the deaths of learning disabled and/or autistic people have doubled during #COVID19. 1/5
My response to the DHSC response: 1. You are not working hard enough. 2/5
2. Throwing out the number of tests carried out is both meaningless in relation to this issue and offensive. 3/5
3. You have not paid any attention to the particular risk surrounding people who already die on average 20-30 years earlier than their peers. 4/5
4. To improve your understanding you need to ensure robust data is generated/analysed. This 'news' is utterly predictable and shameful. #EveryDeathCounts 5/5

A short thread about an Uber driver who picked me up from the @PHMMcr exhibition tonight. [Can't get him out of my head.] 1.
There was a bit of confusion and we ended up with two extra Deaf passengers who were going in a kind of similar direction. 2.
The driver said that they weren’t allowed to pick up people without bookings, so they try and find a black cab or occasionally give the person a lift as 'a friend'. 3.
Well the exhibition is stunning. Superb work @PHMMcr and thank you @Aliswilde for thinking of the #JusticeforLB quilt. Close enough to see every detail.
