Pillar 1 and 2 #covid19 test rates in England upper tier authorities, using the latest available data from @PHE_uk@twitter.com. Leicester really does stand out. Would be great to get retrospective weekly data, but not sure how likely that is 🤷‍♂️

Someone said "is that still a thing?" when I announced I was on Mastodon. Is it?

This.
