Happy Monday! 
This is truly the worst time & normal to feel low- new variant spreading quickly, depths of winter, NHS under pressure. But we will get through with vaccines, testing, weather change in Spring & Summer, & continuing to look out for each other. Better days ahead!

If nothing else maybe European countries will realise by March that the East Asia & Pacific model of managing this crisis is optimal and pivot towards that. They’ve had a year to learn by then. All other roads have led to worse health & economic outcomes.
And in less than a year from detecting a novel virus, we have multiple tests, effective therapeutics & at least 3 vaccines. 
Just imagine where we will be in a year from now? It is not hopeless at all- loads of progress has been made. Delaying infections now makes sense.

If you’re really low, reach out to someone- or even here on twitter- you’ll be pleasantly surprised to find others might feel the same & be able to offer you support & warmth even virtually. We are all connected in this crisis.
Getting loads of questions on re-opening schools & the new variant: honest answer is I don’t know yet. Assessing emerging evidence this week & need to analyse and reflect on what it shows. Will share my thinking on schools once I’ve had time to evaluate robustly & properly.
