1. Time for a #flu 🧵
#Influenza A, which started circulating at high levels earlier this season than in any season since the 2009 #H1N1 pandemic, is declining as quickly as it climbed. In several parts of the country, doctor visits for flu-like illness are below epidemic levels.

2. It is truly remarkable to see the map of #flu-like activity show so little red in the 2nd week of Jan. It is like this year's flu season shifted forward 2 months or so.
Last week on the left. Same week in 2018, on the right, as the 2017-18 season started to take off.

3. Canada is seeing the same phenomenon, reports @BogochIsaac, who raises a key question: Virtually all the #flu activity so far has been #influenza A. Do we have a flu B wave in store? Pre-Covid, flu B often hit late in the season, after flu A had moved through. Will it this yr?

Stark contrast between two major reports on the #COVID19 #pandemic this week. One from @Politico focuses on the Big Four NGOS that functioned outside of govts, raised $billions, & had pivotal influence over global policies. The other from @Commissioncovid @TheLancet looks...MORE

2/ more at the UN syst, #G20, @WHO & intl cooperation/governance (or lack thereof). In broad strokes both mega-reports blame the lack of global fairness, coordination & governance for #pandemic failures. But in very different ways.
@Politico says...

3/...that @gatesfoundation & @gavi & #COVAX & @CEPIvaccines & @wellcometrust -- the global Big Four NGOs -- largely failed to deliver on their #COVID19 promises for tests, vaccines, drugs for the World. Rpt blames patents protections & lack of policy-making transparency.

Ouvindo aos episódios 1325 e 1326 do @medoedeliriobr, me deu vontade de puxar um fio questionando uma narrativa que os bolsonazistas usam muito: a de que teria morrido ainda mais gente pela #COVID19 no #Brasil se o @Haddad_Fernando fosse presidente. Chega mais... (+)

1) A gente SABE que isso não é verdade. Mas, é preciso mais que isso para convencer as pessoas, né? Óbvio que é impossível cravar uma realidade alternativa, mas temos exemplos reais no próprio país que me dão certeza que o drama aqui teria sido MUITO menos grave. (+)

2) Estudos robustos indicam que teríamos salvo centenas de milhares de vidas apenas se tivéssemos ficado próximos à média mundial de mortes. O @oatila, o @PedroHallal, a @TaschnerNatalia e dezenas de outros cientistas apontaram todas as falhas cometidas por nosso desgoverno. (+)

Using Twitter during the #COVID19 pandemic?

With @cc_martell and @DanielRhysThom1, I wrote a perspective piece on social media for (field) epidemiologists #SoMe4epi

📜 tinyurl.com/2km3dz4s

THREAD 🧵👇
@THLorg @rki_de @PublicHealthW @ECDC_EU #EPIET #WorldFieldEpidemiologyDay

We reflect on social media/@Twitter for epidemiologists working on the #COVID19 response

We introduce the field of social media to those not currently using social media in their public health practice:

So please share outside of the Twitterverse as well!

#SoMe4epi #OpenAccess

Why this piece?

🌍 #COVID19 is the 1st pandemic in the social media age

🕵️‍♂️ Field epi now also includes an online field

🔴 𝕋ℍℝ𝔼𝔸𝔻 du 𝑪𝒐𝒎𝒎𝒂𝒓𝒄𝒉 03

1. [OMS]

L'#OMS, cette structure régulièrement critiquée pour son manque de transparence, se définit comme « l’autorité directrice dans le domaine de la santé international au sein du système des Nations Unies ».

VIDÉO 1/12 ⬇️

2. Bien qu’elle ait toujours été financée par des mécènes privés, cette part ne s’élevait qu’à 20% dans les années 1970, 80% provenaient des États membres des Nations Unies.
Or, aujourd'hui la situation s'est inversée.
Avec, à la clé, des "contributions volontaires spécifiées".

3. L'indépendance de l’#OMS fait doute. En effet, contre toute attente, la structure est de plus en plus dépendante de fonds privés, comme #BillGates, car elle manque d’aides publiques.
De quoi laisser craindre une prise d’influence sur des questions de santé publique.

A thread ONLY aimed to present PREVIOUS information on PREVIOUS outbreaks. History sometimes repeats itself, so do persons/institutions/procedures. Any analysis based on reappearance of similar institutions/procedures/persons should take difference in time/tech into consideration

#2013H7N9 #H7N9
The 2013 H7N9 has similarities with COVID-19: first detected, Shanghai public health center et al.
So, let's roll.

#H7N9 Well, it also had online remours, chatting, before authority acknowledged the cases.

Petit thread de fin de semaine . Dans ma vie pro de médecin et journaliste (33 ans à Antenne 2 puis @France2tv ) j’ai connu plusieurs crises sanitaires : #hiv, poulets à la dioxine #ESB ( la vache folle) #SRAS #H5N1 #H1N1. Ayant choisi de partir en 2018 j’ai donc « raté »

professionnellement la dernière, l’actuelle pandémie. J’avais cependant et contrairement à certains chroniqueurs et squatters de plateaux, insisté dès février 2020 sur ce que je pensais ne pas etre une gripette, cf mon blog docteurjd.com/?s=Mesinformat…
.C’est veai que ne pas

etre sur le front est un peu frustrant car il y avait et il y a toujours un enorme travail d’info à faire. La pédagogie et en particulier la pédagogie du risque est cruciale en ces temps de pandémie.L’acquisition des connaissances sur le virus les foyers, les super disseminateurs

#Pandemrix – mRNA-Impfungen
Die #Schweinegrippe von 2009/10 dient oft als Blaupause für die derzeitige Corona-Pandemie. #Corona-Verharmloser argumentieren die #H1N1 wäre ja auch harmlos gewesen.

Nein. War sie nicht, es sind nur die „richtigen“ erkrankt. Die zwar auch schwer, aber relativ wenige starben.

https://twitter.com/BergheimJeff/status/1270771606479155204?s=20

Eine Parallele ist die Notwendigkeit, schnell einen Impfstoff bereitzustellen. 2009 war das gar nicht so kompliziert, denn Influenzaimpfstoffe werden ohnehin jedes Jahr neu aufgelegt und es gibt Mock-up-Impfstoffe, die „leer“ sind und nur mit dem Antigen beladen werden müssen.

#Corona und #H1N1 2009/2010 sind zwei unterschiedliche Viren, aber der Vergleich des zeitlichen Infektionsgeschehens zeigt, welche Dynamik virale Krankheiten entwickeln können. In beiden Fällen waren die kleinen Peaks im März bzw. April, jetzt sind wir gerade KW44.

Bei H1N1 kommt hinzu, dass im Mai 2009 die Meldepflicht aufgehoben wurde. Der zweite, höhere Peak stellt daher nur die Fälle dar, die trotzdem gemeldet wurden. Wenn man H1N1 als Muster betrachtet, muss man für Corona mit einer noch stärkeren Dynamik rechnen.

#PresidentialDebates should not happen without #LiveFactChecking, especially when our #despot is infamous for lies! This is a thread which attempts to dispute some of #TheHateYam's lies. The #SecondPresidentialDebate2020 begins at 24:19 on this video.

At 28:00 #PresidentDeathBreath congratulates himself on what he's done in terms of #PPE. All he did was loot the #FederalStockpile they sold it at auction abroad for #TrumpCrimeSyndicate profit, then #Kushner said it was their own not #ThePeoplesStockpile! abcnews.go.com/Politics/kushn…

Then he replaced the quality, American made #PPE stolen from #ThePeoplesStockpile w/substandard mice chewed expired crap he bought from #Putin, he allowed #Putin to fly it into #Boston on fighter jet! #Russian fighter jets do not belong in our airspace! politico.eu/article/corona…

Durante los últimos 6 meses, hemos aprendido mucho sobre cómo se propaga el SARS-CoV-2🦠
¿Qué nos dice la evidencia hasta ahora sobre la dinámica d transmisión #COVID19, las actividades y los entornos de alto riesgo?
papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…
(fuente @mugecevik )

2/n El riesgo de transmisión es complejo y multidimensional. Depende de muchos factores: patrón de contacto (duración, proximidad, actividad), factores individuales, medio ambiente (exterior, interior) y factores socioeconómicos (viviendas abarrotadas, inseguridad laboral).

3/n
Patrón de contacto:
Sabemos q el contacto cercano sostenido impulsa la mayoría de las infecciones. P ej, las reuniones y los contactos cercanos de familiares y amigos tienen un mayor riesgo de transmisión que las compras en el mercado o los breves encuentros comunitarios

Trump again making false claims about 2009 #H1N1 #flu. There were 12,469 US deaths.
cdc.gov/flu/pandemic-r…
In Trump's 1st year in office, 61,000 #influenza-associated deaths.
cdc.gov/flu/about/burd…

Now 191,500+ #COVID19 U.S. deaths under Trump's watch. gisanddata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashbo…

Again, this is not a news conference. It's a taxpayer-paid political event.

Reporters should not be participating as an audience during these taxpayer-paid events.

Reporters should get up & leave as soon as Trump turns these into campaign events & mentions @JoeBiden.

The money Trump keeps talking about for the military is NOT going to soldiers & their families.

U.S. soldiers are surviving on very little pay.

Trump has not rebuilt the military.

Scarce vaccines will need to be allocated in ways that are thoughtful, strategic/fair.

WILLIAM FOEGE: This is a draft.
Meeting today because want final product to be better.
This is a fast draft!
Uncertainties we had were overwhelming.

We did the best we could.

The thing that makes me the most frustrated about #COVID19 (and has for many months) is the failure to learn lessons from previous outbreaks, particularly about the downstream effects of #pandemic response policy. A thread 1/

This morning @BBCr4today @TheCrick discussed disruption to non-covid #clinicaltrials ; also have seen depressing delays to #cancer detection and treatment ; and changes to routine SRH, maternity, NCD, mental health services.

This is well documented impact during #Ebola 2/

Economic disaster at macro + micro levels follow outbreaks - look at economic impact SE Asia post #SARS and W-Africa post #Ebola ... and to look at individual narratives of household financial hardships & increases in poverty (w/associated disease, kids out of school to work) 3/

#WWI fostered influenza in the crowded conditions of military camps in the U.S. & in the trenches of the Western Front in Europe.
The virus traveled with military personnel from camp to camp and across the Atlantic.

#SpanishFlu #COVID19 #SARSCoV2

The 1918 #H1N1 influenza pandemic caused 500,000-700,000 deaths in the U.S.— almost 200,000 of them in Oct. 1918 alone— & an estimated 30-40 million deaths worldwide, mostly among people aged 15-35 years.
World-wide transporting of #WW1 military troops was the reason.
#SpanishFlu

The 1918 influenza pandemic was caused by an #H1N1 virus with genes of avian origin. It was first identified in U.S. military personnel in spring 1918.
500 million people or one-third of the world’s population became infected with this virus.

#Obesity and #COVIDー19 have been in the headlines recently.

The link between the two is now undeniable.

Let’s take a look at WHY they are so tightly linked molecularly, physiologically, and anatomically in this #tweetorial.

We learned quite a bit about obesity and viral infection in 2009 during the #H1N1 epidemic. Obesity led to:

🔼risk of ICU admission
🔼viral shedding
🔼recovery times

But WHY?

ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…

The story is complex, but inflammation plays a critical role.

Individuals with obesity are in a state of chronic low-grade inflammation as evidenced by altered levels of several cytokines such as TNFα, IL-6, and CRP.

In early 2009, #ObamaBiden were so busy watching the #FederalReserve shovel #funnymoney to cover the #BushRecession, while moving troops from Iraq to Afghanistan, and resetting relations with Russia & Ukraine, they barely had time to ignore the emerging #H1N1SwineFlu pandemic.

In the spring of 2009, a novel influenza virus emerged. It was detected first in the United States & spread quickly across the United States & the world.
#CDC estimated there were 60.8 million cases, 274,304 hospitalizations, & 12,469 deaths in the U.S. alone due to the virus.

#CDC estimated up to 575,400 people worldwide died from #H1N1SwineFlu virus infection during the first year the virus circulated.
Since 2009, the H1N1 virus has circulated seasonally in the U.S. causing significant illnesses, hospitalizations, & deaths.
