When there is limited supply of #MPOX vaccine, it's a better policy to offer a smaller dose for a larger number of people at high risk.

Why this year's COVID is different, according to experts https://t.co/GdctrW29bO

Tell me if I need to bring COVID tests to #ISPORAnnual.
All those health economists could make fancier rapid molecular tests cost-effective. Bring lots of swabs & we can hack together batches of pools. Need PhD student to run the Value of Information analysis.

See this study led by the Infectious Economics team

[NYT Science @NYTScience]

“A negative result may not actually be a negative result,” said Anne Wyllie, a microbiologist at the Yale School of Public Health and an author of the new study. “People should not ignore high risk exposures. They should not ignore symptoms.” https://t.co/TJy6k8rN5Q

Rapid Covid tests — both Abbott BinaxNOW and Quidel QuickVue — aren’t catching people during their first couple days of infection, a new study shows. https://t.co/Tg1cCwjYtI

Today, FDA approved the first COVID-19 vaccine for the prevention of #COVID19 disease in individuals 16 years of age and older. https://t.co/iOqsxXV1fj

The first Broadway play to open after 18 months dark has all eyes watching. It’s been a privilege to advise/train producers, creatives, cast, & crew on COVID epidemiology, prevention, & testing.

[Dr. Blythe Adamson @DrBlytheAdamson]

The Broadway cast of Pass Over @passoverbway played my board game at rehearsal today!

It’s fun playing out scenarios of theater outcomes with daily PCR testing, an action plan for response to positive case, & when/where/why minimal rapid antigen testing.

Here is my perspective on schools this fall. Race and income inequities, both health and economic burden, are made worse with remote learning. Cost-effective, pooled, routine #COVID__19 testing can be part of the solution — focus on teachers. @USATODAY

Steps in the development of a #pandemic math model.

It starts with identifying the question.

USEFUL TOOL FOR STATES: https://t.co/2FHIDyjdgZ ranks industries by contribution to local economy & #COVID19 risk. Can inform targeted testing of workers with no symptoms for early action, efficiently protecting health & economic vulnerabilities.

It’s hard to chose one best #COVID19 pandemic outcome metric to signal the speed to open up America. A poet once described this type of uncertainty

“I ask the traffic lights
if it'll be alright
They say,
‘I don't know’.”

We now have enough #SARSCoV2 genomic data from different states to make some broad conclusions about how the #COVID19 epidemic has unfolded in the US. 1/14
