Plenty studies showing that your postcode is a better predictor of your health outcomes than your genome.
The BBC & Telegraph are trailing Wes Streeting’s technophile health plans, including genomic mapping at birth.
Is this really gonna transform the NHS into a prevention service within 10 yrs, as Wes claims? For v rare genetic conditions, praps. But for the real burden of disease?

@martinlewis.moneysavingexpert.com thank you for sharing information about student loan overpayment refunds! I hadn't realised I overpaid £264 and am now getting it back in time for Christmas.

I finally deactivated my twitter account. While I rarely posted, the ability to aggregate my own Covid newsfeed of experts, invested lay people and other long covid patients has been invaluable to my own learning and sanity. I hope I can find that same community here.
