"Cycling & walking are considered to have v high returns for taxpayers’ money, at Β£5.62 for each Β£1 spent – double the returns of roads"

I notice an increasing number of people I follow on the bird place moving their activity over here. I wish I could recreate the activity and networks I have over there. Hopefully soon. 🀞

Healthcare agencies, hospitals, care homes, and schools [in fact, anywhere where large numbers of people mix together in poorly ventilated spaces], should be prepared for rising cases of influenza, RSV and COVID-19.
