Visit to @AngelIslandCon @ai_immigration reminds us of the history ~1910 where #infectious diseases like #hookworm were used to deny entry to immigrants. It was only in 2010, when #HIV was removed from the list of inadmissible diseases.

Anyone who has tried to get bedaquiline or clofazimine or omadacycline or inhaled amikacin (or all of the above) for their NTM patient will see this and instantly nod in sad recognition https://t.co/mpQjfMiuxp

Today, I spent a big part of my day talking to genomic and biotech companies as soon we will run out of reagents as airplanes are not flying to South Africa! It will be 'evil' if we can not answer the questions that the world needs about #Omicron due to the travel ban!

[Priya Sampathkumar @PSampathkumarMD]

10/ Global
•Improved vaccination rates around the world ASAP.
•More sequencing
•Although mRNA vaccines can be quickly modified to counter Omicron, half the world does not have access even to today's vaccines.

No one is safe until we are all safe

[Priya Sampathkumar @PSampathkumarMD]

9/What can help reduce the impact of Omicron?

Individual level
•Vaccination
•Masking
•Testing

[Tulio de Oliveira @Tuliodna]

This new variant, B.1.1.529 seems to spread very quick! In less than 2 weeks now dominates all infections following a devastating Delta wave in South Africa (Blue new variant, now at 75% of last genomes and soon to reach 100%)

Interesting article on pandemics throughout history; excellent infographics to illustrate scale and death toll. #COVID19 is small-fry...for now (we don’t know how many people are infected - we will only know that when we can test for immune response) https://t.co/gAhKjXuOmi

It might seem strange to socially distance ourselves when we feel well. But the implications for the broader population are significant. #COVID19Aus
