this new study is another confidence booster for covid-19 vaccines."

Analysis of over 30 million US Covid cases and 440,00 deaths in >2500 counties: For every 10% improvement in vaccination coverage *per county*, there was an 8% reduction in mortality

Impressive positive impact of COVID vaccination at a population level:

"A 10% improvement in vaccination coverage was associated with an 8% reduction in mortality rates..."

US mortality data indicate that #COVID19 was the third leading cause of death https://t.co/6oJMgzRdky These data do not include excess deaths from other conditons related to lack of hospital beds and/or mitigation measures. These may increase estimates 3x https://t.co/znJcVnm0Ag

JID: Analysis of 50 studies and nearly 2 million individuals suggest that ~43% of COVID infections experience post COVID conditions. Problems with sleep, memory, concentration, anxiety, and depression were amongst the most common

Great to see our community lookback study picked up in this @CDCgov opinion piece from @AmitabhSuthar ‘Coronavirus Disease Case Definitions, Diagnostic Testing Criteria, and Surveillance in 25 Countries with Highest Reported Case Counts‘ https://t.co/V6B4yvaKfH

@CharlesBHolmes Nice thread 🙌🏽💯

@ChristoPhraser Congrats Christophe and team!

[Amitabh Suthar @AmitabhSuthar]

@doctorsoumya Agreed! I am worried that in some places the adverse effects on other essential health services may be worse than COVID itself if innovative service delivery models aren't implemented

CID: 8% of #COVID19 patients had a bacterial/fungal infection during hospitalisation. 72% receiving broadspectrum antibiotics. Urgent need for guidance to ensure appropriate antimicrobial use during the pandemic @hygetahun @gardp_amr @IDSAInfo @NICEComms

Great to see more multilateral support from @WorldBank to help low and middle countries #FlattenTheCurve for #COVID19

[World Bank Group @WorldBankGroup]

Countries are receiving fast track support to help in the fight against #Coronavirus. @WorldBank Group is prepared to deploy up to $160 billion over the next 15 months. https://t.co/w8RJs3X6uj #COVID19

[Amitabh Suthar @AmitabhSuthar]

Useful insights from @MOFAVietNam on their #COVID19 response. Primed by SARS, Viet Nam was swift in introducing:
(1) systematic screening of individuals at borders (hospitalising symptomatic and quarantining asymptomatic for 14 days)
(2) aggressive contact tracing and isolation

[World Economic Forum @wef]

Not a single death from coronavirus among its 96 million people.
