All of us want to know how bad the pandemic is and whether it's getting better or worse. Many closely-tracked indicators have little meaning and less use. I described some of the most egregious errors, and what we should be paying attention to instead. wapo.st/3dRZ9vT
Clear, practical, excellent! Thank you!
Korea CDC:Monitoring of 790 contacts of the 285 recurrently positive cases, no case was found that was newly infected solely from contact with re-positive cases during re-positive period.cdc.go.kr/board/board.es…
At @ResolveTSL and @VitalStrat, we worked with @WHO and other partners, including @BloombergDotOrg, @AfricaCDC, @eca_official, @unescap, and @CDCFound on a technical package to help governments use existing CRVS systems to rapidly assess deaths. bit.ly/2ZviajL
The #Hydroxychloroquine story has some lessons for all of us: 1. If you are a researcher, don't oversell early results 2. If you are a journalist, don't hype the research 3. If you are a policy maker, don't make hasty decisions 4. If you are the public, listen to scientists
Good news: Being outdoors poses a much lower risk of contracting #COVID19 than being indoors. One of the adjustments we can make in our new normal is spending more time outside. nyti.ms/2ZkzGqQ
A lot of discussion recently about transmission dynamics, most of which are extrapolated from viral loads & estimates. What does contact tracing/community testing data tell us about actual probability of #COVID19 transmission(infection rate), high risk environments/age? [thread]
Evidence of immunity in those who recovered from covid19.
Assessment of #SARSCoV2 antibody response AND cellular immunity in patients recovered from #COVID19: assays, in N=14, indicate most developed neutralizing Abs and their titers correlate w/ numbers of virus-specific T cells cell.com/action/showPdf… @ImmunityCP
It snowed on the Brindabellas yesterday! So get ready for a shock. Congrats!
I’m both sad & excited to announce that today is my last day wth @MenziesResearch I have accepted a position at @ANUPopHealth & will be relocating to Canberra mid-year. Here are a couple of things I’m most grateful for over the past 8yrs:
Important data from @RIVM suggests that "patients under 20 years play a much smaller role in the spread than adults and the elderly." Can't wait to read the scientific report when it becomes available. h/t @marcelsalathe rivm.nl/en/novel-coron…
We’ve issued Pete Evans’ company with infringement notices for alleged #COVID19 advertising breaches relating to the promotion of a ‘BioCharger’ device. Find out more: tga.gov.au/media-release/…
#COVID19 update 24 April: There has been 1 new case in the past 24 hrs. The individual is a male in his 60s. The case is still under investigation. The total is 105 with 97 cases recovered. There are no COVID-19 patients in Canberra Hospitals. The number of negative tests is 7336
We will be seeking the cooperation and support of Australians to download the app to help our health workers, to protect our community and help get our economy going again.
The App we are working on to help our health workers trace people who have been in contact with coronavirus will not be mandatory.
Interesting way to illustrate the social benefits of physical distancing during #COVID19. Together apart for a safer world.
FOUR thing we must do: 1. Test widely. That means every person in the country with pneumonia, every sick health care worker, every person in nursing homes, all contacts with symptoms (and maybe some without), all patients in clusters that could be #COVID19, and more.
We should definitely convene a meeting to review this article.
New guidelines for healthcare workers have been published in @theMJA written by our Infectious Diseases team at the RMH & @TheDohertyInst The paper provides step-by-step advice on how to diagnose, assess, manage and treat patients. Read more: bit.ly/34p1ieA
A national plan has been activated to manage the virus and support our community.
