                             Is COVID more deadly than the flu? 
 
People often question why they should be worried about COVID, when the symptoms are so similar to a bad cold or the flu. 
 
In a new video, Tim talks about how COVID compares to other viral infections including the flu, looking at both transmissibility and deadliness. Watch on YouTube now.

A huge honour for Tim and the ZOE COVID Study 
 
This week, Tim was invited to collect his OBE from Prince Charles at Windsor Castle, for services to the COVID-19 response. This is a huge honour, and deservedly recognises the tireless work of our researchers both at King’s College London as well as the ZOE COVID Study. It is also a huge achievement for over 4.5 million of you who have contributed to the app over the last 20 months, forming the world’s largest surveillance study of the virus and helping to shape a new type of healthcare.
