""Britain’s economy is focused on London and without the capital the UK would be poorer per head than Mississippi, the poorest state in the US. “We are not a rich country; we are a poor country with a few rich people.”".

Kudos to @jdmunday.bsky.social & other authors of this really elegant study of viral transmission in schools. 👇
