So proud of working within the Winton Centre!

Our graphics to illustrate the potential benefits and potential harms of the AstraZeneca vaccine as announced by the MHRA this afternoon. Benefits accrued over 16 weeks, at three different levels of exposure to the virus.

The same slides in Italian, with thanks to team member Giulia Luoni. Again, these show UK data.

Our work from last year on how to communicate personalised risks from COVID-19 is out: royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs… In it we describe a series of studies by the Winton team David Spiegelhalter John Kerr Gabriel Recchia Claudia R Schneider Dr. Sarah Dryhurst Alice Lawrence Leila Finikarides Giulia Luoni

We have created a graphic using the data from Italy on the potential harms and benefits of the AZ COVID-19 vaccine for Chiara Sabelli (who did some excellent stats-finding!) Many thanks to John Aston for crunching the numbers. Methodology here: wintoncentre.maths.cam.ac.uk/coronavirus/us…

Today has provisionally seen the highest #temperature ever recorded in #Italy 🌡️ ⚠️ SIAS have confirmed that Siracusa in #Sicily reached 48.8ºC earlier this afternoon and if verified by World Meteorological Organization, it will become a new European temperature record 📈

Questa immagine impressionante non arriva dal Texas bensì è stata scattata oggi pomeriggio in una zona tra Lombardia ed Emilia Romagna che è stata colpita da diverse trombe d'aria e piccoli tornado.

We're at the so called "Bristol Balloon Festival". JUST disappointment. After 3 hrs driving we arrived at the festival and found out that the launch would be cancelled. I expect at least to be sent warnings. They wanted us just to spend money at the stands. #BristolBaloon
