England is now experiencing a significant Covid wave, after 10 months of relative quiet
The latest Covid situation in England and a look at where NHS services are as we head into winter
After a long pause, I've just done another England Covid & NHS update as we head into the autumn/winter season.
TLDR: we're in a significant Covid wave now, the NHS is stretched, get boosted if you're eligible.

Fantastic project and collaboration @ukdri.ac.uk @glaxosmithkline.bsky.social. Anything that could potentially reduce risk of #dementia, which is projected to affect more than 150m globally by 2050 is a good thing. Fingers firmly crossed for a positive study outcome!
