This is the kind of work, published today, that should be fully supported and prioritized at the highest level. Currently, there is no vaccine vs the Ebola Bundibugyo virus, the source of a major outbreak https://t.co/qM6bWLtmcb

[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros]

The emergence of a new clade of #mpox, its rapid spread in eastern #DRC, and the reporting of cases in several neighbouring countries are very worrying.

On top of outbreaks of other mpox clades in DRC and other countries in Africa, it’s clear that a coordinated international response is needed to stop these outbreaks and save lives.

IMPORTANT:

RAPID TESTS DO WORK WITH OMICRON

"But why are some people staying negative in the first days they have symptoms??"

This is expected. Symptoms don't = contagious virus
This is literally a reflection of the fact that vaccines are doing their job!

PLEASE READ

[Ashish K. Jha @ashishkjha]

Nearly 3 out of 4 infections in US now Omicron

This has become dominant so fast

Omicron is now essentially everywhere

Get you booster

Wear a mask in large indoor events

Use rapid tests before gathering

We can get through this people

There's been a lot of new data for Omicron in the last day, much still preliminary, but here's my summary of the good and bad

[Dr Emma Hodcroft @firefoxx66]

🎉The new and improved https://t.co/wVE7ucgcg6 is here! 🎉

We're hoping to make this a one-stop location to track not only the 'headline' variants, but many different #SARSCoV2 mutations & variants that scientists are keeping an eye on.

Let's take a tour of the site!

I strongly support @SecDef and @DeptofDefense's plan to add the COVID-19 vaccine to the list of required vaccinations for service members. We are still on a wartime footing against this virus, and every eligible American should get vaccinated. https://t.co/q0MJYFJJgH
