Biden to end public health emergency May 11:

With reports suggesting that the administration may soon end the public health emergency (PHE) declaration for #Mpox, I thought I’d do a little review of the #PHE itself 🧵(1/x)
Here's the news report on this: politico.com/news/2022/11/3…)
Here's the news report on this: politico.com/news/2022/11/3…)
Most people probably became familiar with the PHE declaration when first declared for #COVID in January 2020. It has been an important tool in the nation’s response to COVID and its end will have significant implications, as we explore here. (2/x) kff.org/coronavirus-co…
But the origin of the Section 319 PHE was a 1983 amendment to the PHSA. Believe it or not, the bill was introduced in April of 1983 and passed and signed into law by July of that year! (the good old days?) (3/x) govinfo.gov/content/pkg/US…
During the COVID #PublicHealthEmergency, Texans with Medicaid have kept their coverage & Texas has received an extra $6 billion in federal Medicaid funds. This has been good for Texas. When the #PHE ends (sometime after Oct 13), HHSC will face the huge task of renewing everyone🧵
A new @HHS_ASPE report shows nearly 3 of 4 kids who’ll lose Medicaid at the end of the COVID #PHE will STILL BE ELIGIBLE. They'll lose coverage due to administrative barriers in the renewal process. Great report summary from @GeorgetownCCF.
ccf.georgetown.edu/2022/08/22/mil…
ccf.georgetown.edu/2022/08/22/mil…
People of color will disproportionately lose Medicaid coverage despite remaining eligible. Nationally, 64% of Latinos and 40% of Black non-Latinos who lose coverage will still qualify for Medicaid compared to only 17% of White non-Latinos.
There are many layers to the #Covid19UK human catastrophe but IMO it’s all DELIBERATE @mrjamesob
Not even @BorisJohnson is so ignorant that he can’t understand the seriousness of what is currently unfolding.
The crux is - HE WANTS IT TO HAPPEN!

2/ Die Staatliche Agentur Public Health England (PHE) veröffentlicht regelmäßig wichtige Daten zu COVID und der Effektivität der Impfungen. Die Datentiefe ist dabei besser/systematischer als das, was wir vom RKI geliefert bekommen.

3/ Für die Alpha Variante, welche aktuell ja nahezu keine Rolle mehr spielt, liegen folgende Daten vor:
-🇬🇧Le taux d'hospitalisation et de mortalité lié à la maladie de #COVID19 chez les moins de 50 ans entièrement vaccinés est 175 % plus élevé que celui des moins de 50 ans non vaccinés, selon les données du #PHE(Public Health England).

Le Covid-19 a touché de manière disproportionnée les personnes âgées et les personnes vulnérables souffrant d'autres maladies sous-jacentes, et les données montrent que le risque de décès dû au Covid-19 va de minuscule à négligeable pour les moins de 50 ans avant la disponibilité
de l'injection de Covid-19. Les dernières données de Public Health England sur le Covid-19 sont donc extrêmement préoccupantes, car elles montrent que le risque de décès dû au Covid-19 chez les personnes de moins de 50 ans augmente si elles ont été entièrement vaccinées.

While @NHSDigital’s #OptingOut page* says a #Type1 “can only be recorded by your GPpractice” & doesn’t even link to the form, it’s worth noting #GeneralPractice is currently the busiest it’s ever been. Why is @DHSCgovuk putting even more work onto GPs?

1/ Tragically I can @carolecadwalla.
From the v start of the pandemic, #PHE have made a number of decisions that have definitely NOT been in the public’s or healthcare workers’ interest & will have resulted in many more lives lost or irrevocably damaged than was necessary.

2/ Downgrading #COVID19 from the list of HCIDs was one such example.
Few HCWs doubt that the decision was based on supplies of #PPE available.
Anyone in doubt should try to watch this @BBCPanorama by Richard Bilton which is bizarrely no longer available?!

1/ @HHSGov @SecAzar has extended the #COVID19 Public Health Emergency (PHE) declaration effective Jan. 21, 2021 for an additional 90 days.
2/ This means that all of the #telehealth and other waivers and flexibilities that have been implemented during the #PHE will remain in effect until at least April 21, 2021.
3/ As in the summary & impact table by @AmerMedicalAssn, the Consolidated Appropriations Act signed into law 12/27/20 included provisions that offset most of the 10.2% budget neutrality adjustment that was slated to take effect for Medicare-covered services provided as of 1/1/21.

Piecing together what we know of the ‘new #variant’. This has been confirmed by COG-UK (tinyurl.com/ybfsqurf) and PHE (tinyurl.com/yacjerx6) as a lineage of #SARSCoV2 carrying a set of mutations including #N501Y, found in the #spike receptor binding domain.
#PHE reports suggest that #SARSCoV2 carrying this variant(s) have been observed at high frequency in recent times in the South of England. At the moment there is no evidence this #variant spreads any faster or any slower. This simply hasn’t been tested yet (and of course will be)
This variant is found in an expanding outbreak but may be going up in frequency just by chance – we always have to disentangle these forces. Viruses mutate (actually #SARSCoV2 a bit slower than many viruses) and the presence of mutations in of themselves is not a cause for alarm.
Meanwhile in #France,
"the peak of this second wave is over"
(according to the President in his Adress to the Nation):

Wait... "the peak is over" doesn´t mean "it´s back to normal"!
Confinement will only fall on December 15,
if there´s less than 5.000 new cases a day.
(today it´s ~9.000).
France is disappointed.🙁
Although they certainly can make it happen.

Timely #ContactTracing does matter fighting #COVID19. In a new paper (➡️ bit.ly/394Ebuo) we study a bizarre #Excel error in England that caused 16k cases to NOT be contact traced. We econometrically can link this blunder to ~ 120k new cases & 1.5k deaths...🧵⬇️1/N
Studying non-pharmaceutical interventions to fight #COVID19 is HARD because we hardly ever isolate specific individual policies as often many measures are taken together (lockdowns, school closures, masks,...). For #ContractTracing we also have mostly correlational evidence...2/N
Enter the English Test&Trace system hastily built on, what appears to be a set of XLS spreadsheets giving us a consequential natural experiment. On Oct 4, PHE announced that ~ 16k #COVID19 cases were not correctly reported resulting in a large jump in reported cases.. 3/N
