Shortly after Donald J. Trump was sworn in as the 47th American president, he issued 37 executive orders and, subsequently, the Trump administration has – through formal processes and also through extra-governmental extraordinary practices – triggered what many are calling a governmental and/or constitutional crisis. Dr. Christina Pagel has published two important Substack articles in which she groups the activities of the Trump administration into authoritarian and proto-authoritarian actions – and maps the opposition. Her unbelievable Venn diagram reveals which actions are being met with organized resistance – and which are being left unchallenged. She is a data hound – and her data not only clarifies what is happening in the United States but provides tools for those who wish to effectively oppose it in the U.S. and abroad. Dr. Christina Pagel is Professor of Operational Research in Health Care, University College London. Operational Research is a pragmatic branch of mathematics to help people solve real-life problems. She is a member of Independent SAGE providing accessible updates on the national and international Covid-19 situation since May 2020.

In the second of two episodes on Long COVID, Dr Hannah Preston discusses Long COVID and ME/CFS (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) with Dr Binita Kane. Long COVID, also known as Post-Covid Syndrome, is further explored. Dr Preston and Kane discuss Postural Tachycardia Syndrome (PoTS), immune dysregulation, Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS), the impact of Long COVID on women's and men's health, investigations, emerging research and treatments, and the importance of listening to your patient. Dr Binita Kane is a Consultant respiratory physician in Manchester. She has worked on the frontline of the pandemic since 2020 and set up the first COVID virtual ward model in the UK and has advised nationally on the role of virtual wards across England. In January 2021, Dr Kane's 10 year old daughter developed COVID and subsequently Long COVID. This has led her on an international search for answers, culminating in her becoming a campaigner, researcher, patient advocate, champion for the Long COVID Kids charity and now a specialist Long COVID physician. Dr Kane is a member of the World Health Network Long COVID Executive Committee, Independent SAGE and a campaigner for clean air. Dr Hannah Preston is a Renal Registrar in Edinburgh and RCPE Trainees and Members' Committee (T&MC) Co-Chair.

Meet Elon Musk's Censorship Czar, he's a double-agent. Plus, YouTube reaffirms who owns it and it's not Google or Alphabet. Elon Musk has a new censorship Czar, who has touted the phrase “if it's lawful, but awful” in reference to content they will be deemphasized. Youtube is doing the same, doubling down in their allegiance to a world organization who ultimately control the content on the site. Advertisers who support the mutilation of children, the mockery of Christians, and pornographic or oversexualized content won't be censored, while those, like a US Senator speaking the truth about the PLANdemic, will be.

SAGE say the pandemic is NOT over and have set out a 7 point plan.

Dr Stephen Griffin, virologist and member of Independent SAGE, talks us through the workings of antivirals - both in acute COVID-19 and in Long Covid.  He explains what antivirals do - suppressing the virus rather than removing it from our systems - and suggests that the use of one course of individual antivirals might not be the holy grail that Long Covid sufferers are hoping.  We talk viral persistence versus autoimmunity, the action of vaccines, and whether monoclonal antibodies could be useful.  

Russia has begun its invasion of Ukraine, a move which will have far reaching consequences. The team discusses two of those - the first being western Europe's reliance on oil and gas from Russia, and the knock-on effect on climate targets. The second is the threat of Russian cyberattacks on Ukraine, which could cause huge disruption to internet and IT services globally.The last remaining covid restrictions have been scrapped in England, as the Prime Minister announces the country's ‘living with covid' plan. But is this the right decision, and what does the science say? The team speaks to Christina Pagel from Independent SAGE, a group which offers independent scientific advice to the government.An Australian billionaire is fighting back against the country's government, and its lack of action on climate change. The team explains how Mike Cannon-Brookes plans to buy up Australia's largest electricity company so he can shut down all its coal-fired plants and replace them with renewable energy.Researchers are beginning to better understand how humans experience different types of pain, which could lead to more effective drugs for people living with chronic pain. The team explores the new findings, which also suggest men and women experience pain differently.And the team discusses the intelligence of orangutans, based on their ability to use and make tools.On the pod are Rowan Hooper, Penny Sarchet, Alice Klein, Jacob Aron, Adam Vaughan and Jason Murugesu.

In the UK more than 1200 experts and doctors have spoken out against the government's plan to allow Covid-19 cases to increase, which they say borders on "criminal". Britain's daily deaths has hit a three-month high, and most Covid-19 restrictions will be eased on Monday - dubbed 'Freedom Day' - in the hopes of achieving herd immunity. One of the leading groups against the measures is the Independent Sage - a group of scientists providing independent advice on how to minimise deaths and support Britain's recovery from the pandemic. Kim Hill spoke to Dr Gabriel Scally, a visiting professor of public health at the University of Bristol and a member of the Independent Sage committee.

Kim Hill spoke to Dr Gabriel Scally, a visiting professor of public health at the University of Bristol and a member of the Independent Sage committee.

At the start of the pandemic, the UK government's suppression of data prompted Carole Cadwalladr and her colleagues at All the Citizens to found Independent SAGE, a group of scientists who shadow official government scientists. Now, as the UK hurtles towards a June 21 reopening that now looks unlikely to happen, the group's findings are more concerning than ever. On this week's Kicker, Cadwalladr, a feature writer for The Observer, and Kyle Pope, editor and publisher of CJR, discuss what US journalists can learn from the UK's Covid fight, and how misleading euphoric Covid-19 coverage in the US has become.

The government's has refused to learn from its catastrophic mistakes - and it's not looking good. The so-called Delta variant - which originated in India - is now dominant and positive cases have surged by over 46% in a week. Will the mass vaccination programme stop a new surge in hospitalisations and death - or are we heading not just for a delay of 'freedom day', but the reimposition of restrictions?Joining me is Professor Deenan Pillay from Independent SAGE - and James Meadway, Director of the Progressive Economy Forum, to talk about the economic and political consequences of COVID-19.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-owen-jones-podcast.

There is no data to suggest England's end to lockdown on 21 June might be delayed, the business secretary has said - but he cannot give a guarantee. A final decision about the 21 June date will be reached by 14 June. Kwasi Kwarteng's comments came as the variant first identified in India is now believed to be responsible for up to three-quarters of new Covid cases in the UK. Mishal Husain spoke to the secretary of state and heard from Professor Christina Pagel, a mathematician who specialises in health data, director of the clinical operational research Unit at University College London and a member of the Independent SAGE group of scientists; Dr Helen Wall, part of the Covid vaccine programme in Bolton and Andrew Hayward, Professor of Infectious Disease Epidemiology at University College London and a member of NERVTAG.

Our 200th edition. Everyone wants to go home and visit their folks for Christmas, right? And the Government is fine with it… right? Christina Pagel of Independent SAGE and UCL's Clinical Operational Research Unit tells Ian Dunt why packing yourself into unventilated homes with aged relatives, school kids and students might not be a very good idea. What are the best ways to have a safer Christmas? How dangerous is public transport? And what's worse, hurting your family's feelings – or damaging their health?“People are pretty clear about what they OUGHT to do. What they WILL do is another matter.“It's really hard to think of home as a dangerous place.” “The idea that I might give my parents COVID month before they could get vaccinated? I don't know if I could live with that.”“We're all good at social distancing from strangers. But when you're out with your mum, it's a different matter.” “What are the worst things you can do at Christmas? Singing and shouting.” Presented by Ian Dunt. Produced by Andrew Harrison.

The rate of coronavirus infection in the UK is rapdily increasing and the UK government is having to decide on which measures it will bring in. Currently vast areas of the north of England, and Wales, have local lockdown restrictions in place, but the data shows it hasn't currently had an immediate impact on the spread of Covid-19. Prof Christina Pagel sits on the Independent SAGE committee, where she collates and analyses various data, from testing to hospitalisation, and offers informed comment and guidance while holding the Government to account over it's handling of the pandemic. She is a mathematician and professor of operational research at University College London, where she is also the first female director of the Clinical Operational Research Unit, which applies operational research, data analysis and mathematical modelling to problems in health care. Professor Pagel warns that Boris Johnson's government have to "act smart and act now" to save lives and curb the spread of Covid. How did we get here? Explaining the news is a podcast from 5 News. Join Andy Bell as he explains the world's biggest news stories through interviews with politicians, experts and analysts.

Professor Anthony Costello, global health expert and key member of the Independent SAGE committee, is the very special guest on this episode. London GP Hannah Harris and daughter Tilly talk to him about all the current coronavirus issues including the Government's handling of the crisis, how to make a success of track and trace, and whether we will see a second wave. They also discuss Public Health England's recent report on the disproportionate number of BAME deaths, as well as the questionable accuracy of COVID-19 tests. Professor Costello is frank about how deaths could have been significantly reduced in the UK if the Government had acted faster, and he evaluates the decision-making that has led to our current position.

**BREAKING NEWS** Dom Cummins broke lockdown while he had COVID-19 symptoms. The calls for him to resign are growing. Meanwhile, will we soon be able to look up the local R number as easily as the local weather? That's one of the ideas from Independent SAGE. The real SAGE (the cartoon version, like The Real Ghostbusters) didn't shed much light on whether schools would be safe when they open. *Contains swearing*
