2/5 In 2020, most countries switched from total to targeted #border closures followed by mandatory #quarantine and #screening of #travelers.
3/5 Evidence suggests: border closures may reduce the number of #COVID19 cases, disrupt disease spread across countries/between regions & slow #outbreak progression.
Early implementation, in combination with measures to reduce #transmission rates, likely enhances these effects.

We knew QUITE early on who & where the high risk population was.
Our previous plans ALL included focused protection...
AND mitigating the impact on the rest of society.

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.

I've been thinking a lot about the leadership challenges of reopening schools. My article "Innovating with Impact" (2017) has applicable insights (see image, thread, link). 1/8 #leadership #education #reopening

Don’t forget to clearly articulate the problem to be solved. Ensure that the district has a clear understanding of the problem it is trying to solve, and has identified the root causes of the problem. 2/8
Don’t forget the supporting ecosystem. In planning for implementation, it is important to ensure that schedules, policies, and infrastructure are aligned to support—or at least not derail—the implementation. 3/8
As #COVID19 cases are found to spread, #Melbourne (city of ~5 million) tries to contain them by going into #Lockdown.

It's too soon to tell for sure, but now that some #reopen states are starting to take prevention measures seriously, we might be approaching a second peak.
It's better than the near-straight line we were at before, but I'm a lot less optimistic about what happens next.

Remember the big surge in #reopen rallies?
The one in Harrisburg was right during the height of those, April 20th.
A week later, we saw a secondary peak that was nearly as high as the first.

Those protests were a site of infection, not just in terms of COVID but in terms of the politicization of basic common sense public health practice.
It created a blue/red divide along public health practice at the worst possible moment.

1/ Q: How on earth is #ReopeningSchools going to happen safely in the Fall?!
A: We know some of you are frustrated with some things you are hearing from local school districts. This hot off the press resource from the @HarvardChanSPH is EXTREMELY useful: schools.forhealth.org

2/ In brief, the report highlights 5 key areas of focus for school re-openings:
HEALTHY CLASSROOMS (wear #masks, #WashYourHands frequently, maximize physical distance, maximize group distance to slow transmission chains, disinfect objects)
HEALTHY CLASSROOMS (wear #masks, #WashYourHands frequently, maximize physical distance, maximize group distance to slow transmission chains, disinfect objects)
3/ HEALTHY BUILDINGS (increase outdoor air ventilation, filter indoor air, supplement with portable air cleaners, use plexiglass as a physical barrier, install no-contact infrastructure, keep surfaces clear, focus on bathroom hygiene, de-densify school buildings)
#COVID spreads through human-to-human transmission, so #migrants are an important vector. In the absence of adequate covid tests in LMICs, can we predict sub-national COVID spread, or identify likely hotspots using data on migration?
Short answer: Yes.

Data on airport returnees predict subsequent quarantines & #COVID19 distress calls across districts in #Bangladesh. Data on migration permits predict confirmed cases in #Philippines municipalities and Bangladeshi sub-districts.

This exchange with Connecticut has been out biggest exchange in Thoughtexchange history! 🚀 Over a million ratings ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Jonathan Costa says that he was the “connector” not the “architect” of this process. It's a team effort, that's for sure. #TeVirtualEvents #TeVE #COVID19
Putting together a statewide exchange was quick! In the first 72 hours we (@EdAdvance & @thoughtxchng) watched a massive amount of people join. Tens of thousands of people from the state of #Connecticut! #BringPeopleTogether #TeVirtualEvents #TeVE
As I mentioned yesterday, there is something new happening in the Eurozone, and assets there are now leading on many metrics
Eurostoxx are now showing accelerating outperformance vs the SPX (it was not a mirage...)

After an incredibly weak flow picture for a long time, there is now some infant evidence via @ExanteData that US investors are starting to buy international stocks, including European stocks.

The equity performance chart was in local currency terms, hence the currency effect should be added on top, and it is significant in many crosses (with the Euro certainly not the leading one)

1-Relative risk: For #COVIDー19, this is determined by type of activity, duration of activity, and how close you are to other people (see our previous posts). The key message: prioritize outdoor activities, keep interactions brief, and space yourselves from other people.

3-Cumulative risk: More interactions=more risk. Minimize number of people with whom you interact.

We design a brand-new economic model to capture the complexity effects induced by the #COVID19 pandemic, and look for a sweet spot between economic boost and epidemic risk while reopening the economy.

A thread 👇 1/N
Rather than building yet another #SIR model, we use survey data collected by epidemiologists and simply estimate how different activities could affect R0 in the early stage of the epidemic. 2/N
Let’s start with our main result: if all non consumer-facing industries reopen, schools are open only for workers who need childcare, and everyone who can work from home continues to #WorkFromHome, we get a boost in economic output while keeping the epidemic under control. 3/N

2/ The White House published "gating criteria" in their Reopening America Again guidelines. These are data-driven criteria that each state/region should satisfy before reopening: such as a 2 week downward trajectory of new cases, adequate hospital capacity, and "robust" testing.
3/ Since the White House criteria did not specify quantitative targets, the non-partisan #COVID Exit Strategy initiative created specific metrics based on the gating criteria. After compiling the needed data for each metric, they give each state a "traffic light" designation:
