Research shows that spending 20m with one infected person, you have a 10.4% risk of catching it if you both wear surgical masks.

This goes down to 1.5% if you wear a fitted FFP2 mask, and down to 0.14% risk if you both wear a fitted FFP2 mask.

It’s less likely but still possible to become infected when you’re vaccinated. So it’s still worth testing yourself, and asking the friends/family you meet up with to test themselves too even if they’re vaccinated. ⌘ [Read more](https://twitter.com/MattGrayYES/status/1471083911568674819) 2021-12-15T11:45:10Z **🔹Vaccinate**

The vaccine is 75% effective against the variant once you’ve had your booster dose too.

I’m amused by the number of people asking why we don’t have any shiny.

We don’t get to see the big shiny this time of year in the UK.

The rabbit hole of UK electricity generation data continued for me this evening too.

Here’s my interpretation of where the UK’s electricity came from in the last 24 hours, and where it’s coming from right now.

The sky is gloriously clear tonight. If you’re in/around London it’s probably worth finding a nearby hill to look at the view, or looking up at the stars!

I’m pretty sure I could even see the Dartford Crossing from Leicester Square, ~20 miles away!

Doing Dry January but like beer? 🍺

If you want to find an alternative, I’ve tried over 30 alcohol-free beers that I could easily find in UK supermarkets.
