Interesting - so focus on the positives and do your own PR

6,000 patients recruited for a study that's been active less than a month - amazing stuff

Having been a bit skeptical about the evidence to date on facemasks for #COVID19, I think this WHO study has convinced me

Forget Surgisphere, *THIS* is the evidence we need about hydroxychloroquine. Funded and supported by NIHR 🙌 bbc.co.uk/news/health-52…

Big BIG day in #COVID19 research today, what with NIHR researchers finding a new treatment that will now be offered to NHS patients AND starting first trials of a novel vaccine. Amazing to have a tiny part in all this

A rather morbid anniversary it's true, but research really is our way out of this pandemic #ResearchVsCovid
