I appear to be accidentally watching #Eurovision.   
Austria have already won it with a filthy disco track about being possessed by Edgar Allen Poe.
Downhill from here, lads.
Poland there, channeling the Venga Boys in every way
Whereas the Spanish song is rather Moorish.
FUCKING HELL FINLAND
The Belgian entry is Outside-era George Micheal does #Eurovision
Amazing
Ok I'm properly into this now.
Ukraine was Frank Ocean if he let it all hang out. In a good way.
Top three so far
Germany is what would happen if the bad guys from Mad Max Fury Road formed a band.
It's terrible
Good to let the geography department have a go #croatia
Sweden don't deserve this. Terrible song.
This is bullshit

Ok, I've seen the episode, read the article, felt the outrage. Now I have thoughts.
(Personal view as ADHD clinician and parent and patient and @ADHDUKcharity trustee)
1. The profit motive always acts as a force of corruption in healthcare. However...

That doesn't make a private diagnosis invalid. It just means that private providers have to be extra cautious to avoid cognitive bias. However...
2) the race to the bottom for assessment quality hurts everyone. If you can tick the boxes in 40 minutes, and charge the same 2/
Why wouldn't you? This isn't confined to private providers- the NHS is under constant pressure to diagnose faster, as demand spirals. This leads to..
3) the death of curiosity leads to bad practice. The difference between a bad assessment and a good one isn't length. 3/

Quick thread about children and Covid-19. Apologies if this strays a little from my direct expertise, but the (correct) focus on older people has left an information vacuum when it's come to children, and nonsense has rushed in to fill it...
1/n
Prompted by this paper in Pediatrics: pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/pediat…, which gives us the best data so far on paediatric Covid infection.
Headlines: children have a much lower rate of critical illness and death than adults. This, from the imperial report yesterday.
2/n
Within this very low rate of critical illness, under 5s, and especially under 1s are more likely to get severe symptoms, which is not a massive surprise. Impossible to comment on mortality because of more than 2000 patients, there was only one death, of a 14 year old.

Under the concerns about children's screen time is often a narrative that is just flat wrong. That screen time is responsible for a kind of moral degeneration in young people, leading to mental health crisis, and delinquency.

Screen time is associated with 0.4% of the variance in wellbeing, in this excellent @OrbenAmy and @ShuhBillSkee study. independent.co.uk/news/science/s….
That's as much as eating potatoes.
So yes, emotional health in adolescents is worse, but it ain't the iPhones,

@OrbenAmy @ShuhBillSkee Overall, our current generation of young people are behaving BETTER than previous generations.
Drugs, alcohol, pregnancy, all down.
Link between violence and games long debunked. So if you're looking for causes for knife crime, look beyond Fortnite, Harry.
