Wer einmal begriffen hat, wie das mit den Aerosolen funktioniert und wie viele vermeidbare Kranke und Tote wir schon vor der #Pandemie durch luftübertragene Erreger hatten, erst recht aber durch #Corona-Masseninfektion und #LongCovid, für den gibt es kein "Zurück zu 2019" mehr...
Wir müssen und *können* gefährliche Erreger *überall* aus der Luft holen, wo viele Menschen zusammentreffen und Infektionsketten überhaupt erst entstehen.

Schaden nehmen können (30-50% bekommen im Alter von 0-3 Bronchitis, was Risiko für schwere Atemwegserkrankungen und vorzeitigen Tod im Erwachsenenalter massiv erhöht) ist Imperativ genug, die primitive und barbarische Vorstellung der Masseninfektion "für Immunität" zu begraben.

There were 4strategy groups with diff initial regimens; noninferiority was assessed in the 2 strategy groups with complete enrollment, which had initial regimens of high-dose RIF–linezolid & bedaquiline–linezolid (each with INH, PZA,& ETH).
-The primary outcome was a composite of death, ongoing treatment, or active disease at week 96.

As 2022 draws to a close, we’ve been reflecting on some of the highlights (in no particular order) — you can read the full article here: bit.ly/3IfaKYc, or digest the thread below. Wishing you a happy new year and all the best for 2023! 1/23

In May, @mdelledon took a group of scientists into the Gobi Desert to capture small mammals, including bats, to study their microbiome and they set up a genomics lab in a tent. They demonstrated the utility of the MinION in the harsh, off grid and sandy desert environment! 3/23
It's World AIDS Day: time to take stock. Because there is no #HIV #vaccine and women can't compel men to use condoms, people continue to get newly infected. And because the majority of them live in poor parts of the world, the undeclared #pandemic is very expensive.

✨🆕 IHME researchers published today in @sciencedirect – "Estimating the population at high risk for tuberculosis through household exposure in high-incidence countries: a model-based analysis" using #TB data from the 2019 #GBDstudy. #tuberculosis sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
The researchers estimate that in 20 high-incidence countries, 38 million individuals live in a household with someone with pulmonary #tuberculosis — with children under 5 making up 12% of populations with home exposure.
➡️Findings include: #Zimbabwe, #Mozambique, #Zambia, and #Pakistan have the highest proportion of the population with household exposure.

The headline is probably this graph. The scale was clearly chosen for dramatic effect (also data for more than 4 years shouldn't be too much to ask), but notifications fell off a cliff last year.
1.3mn fewer cases were found, a 19% drop y-to-y.

Under that overall number we can find some solace (only 2.5% drop in the African region), but mostly tragedy.
In India and Indonesia, notification fell respectively ‼️25% and ‼️31%. Together they represent over half of the global drop.
