"The idea of deporting people with settled status is disgusting, and anyone proposing it should be immediately drummed out of polite society. Breaking promises made in good faith to our friends and neighbours is racist, extremist and immoral."
I'm basically shouting at the sky here, but still.

It’s racist, it’s extremist and it’s immoral
The right is still calling for deportations, and the government is still being cowardly about it. Also: London’s first green belt; some notes on a shark; and some news, on my next book.

Also, if you're "in bed with flu", it's almost certainly Covid.
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.

Want to repeat that if folks even wore masks just where it’s easy—in the grocery store, on the subway, sitting at your desk at work—we could likely knock down community transmission substantially, and make life a lot safer in places where mitigation is harder—like nursing homes.
PSA: One of those anecdotal data points that might be useful to know—more than a quarter of my mom's ward at her nursing home has contracted Covid in the last 10 days or so.

They sanitize their hands. Some use their sleeve to open a door I’ve touched
Many won’t share the elevator with me
They all share two things in common:
None are masked
They don’t want to get sick
Public health has failed.

It's never too late to start wearing a mask again! Wear them in public, in almost any context but especially when you're indoors, when 50%+ others present aren't masking, if you're in close physical proximity with others, and/or if there's scant ventilation (including lack of wind outdoors).

You do not have to accept repeat Covid infections as inevitable.
Mitigations work. Layers work best.
Get your booster. Clean & ventilate the air. Test and stay home when sick.
Perhaps most important of all, wear a well fitted N95.
It protects you & those around you. Community care can save us!
