Today, two years has passed since the #COVID19DK lockdown begun in Denmark on March 11st 2020.

Here is an animation of PCR-confirmed cases on municipality level to mark the occasion

COMMENTARY: Misleading BMJ Public Health paper on #COVID19 excess mortality needs to be retracted (by Lone Simonsen, Rasmus Kristoffer Pedersen)

The paper has already led to much debate and confusion and has been used as fodder for anti-vaccine advocates

Excess Mortality Seminar with partners from @SSI_dk and @CPop_SDU. Exciting to discuss modelling for influenza and covid and other related topics. Many future collaboration possibilities are identified! @roskildeuni @GrundforskFond @SyddanskUni

@RasmusKP on how to incorporate mathematical models with covid data of various quality, sparsity, detail...

A Center of Excellence! Today we start the new PandemiX Center, thanks to The Danish National Research Foundation @grundforskfond. We are now called 'Center for the Interdisciplinary Study of Pandemic Signatures'. Our acronym is still: PandemiX! @roskildeuni

[CPop SDU @CPop_SDU]

On Tuesday, join us @CPop_SDU for a research seminar 'PandemiX – A new Center of Excellence'
with @LoneSimonsen2 and @RasmusKP (@roskildeuni).

📅30 May at 2 PM

@anders_hviid @KT_Baek @SSI_dk @PandemiXCtr Oh, I didn't realize the DAR data was showing ~50% currently.
My own interpretation is that the truth is somewhere in between: DAR undercounts and the correction-method is an upper bound.
But in the end it comes down to the definition of "COVID-related" and "incidental"

[Rasmus Kristoffer Pedersen @RasmusKP]

@KT_Baek @anders_hviid @SSI_dk @PandemiXCtr I agree with Anders' point by the way: Claims that most deaths right now should be incidental is not correct.

Even at the highest, the proportion of incidental deaths were far away from 90%, as seen on the figures Anders show

[Rasmus Kristoffer Pedersen @RasmusKP]

@KT_Baek @anders_hviid @SSI_dk @PandemiXCtr Yeah, the method for model-correction shown here is no longer included in the reports.
The purpose was, in some sense, to estimate the incidental deaths by getting an upper bound for the non-incidental deaths.
This correction is less relevant at this point in time.

[PandemiX Center @PandemiXCtr]

"With" or "Due to"?
In our new joint publication with @SSI_dk in @Eurosurveillanc we investigate the rise in coincidental COVID-19 deaths in early 2022 due to the easing of restrictions in the well-vaccinated Danish population.

@KT_Baek @PandemiXCtr @SSI_dk @tv2nyhederne Av ja, det er da faktisk ret forskelligt nu. Jeg har ikke selv holdt så godt øje med det, så tak for at du nævner det :)

Mit gæt er at det skyldes at meget få testes nu. Metodens formål var at korrigere i en situation med enormt mange tests.

Jeg prøver at se på det i næste uge!

[Rasmus Kristoffer Pedersen @RasmusKP]

Last week I had the pleasure of returning to the beautiful city of Heidelberg for #ecmtb2022 and give a presentation on some current on-going work. An amazing week with impressive talks, great posters and nice people! 😁

@fcandersen PandemiX holder vi skam stadig godt øje med hvad der foregår ift Covid.

Fællesskabet i Nordemics handler dog primært om historiske sygdomudbrud gående tilbage til 1600-tallet, så her er fokus kolera, kopper, mæslinger og hvad der ellers skete i fortiden

[PandemiX Center @PandemiXCtr]

Smallpox, plague, malaria, childhood infections and more! We’re exchanging ideas and knowledge with our Finnish, Norwegian and Swedish colleagues on the @NordForsk project ‘Nordemics: Pathogens, Pandemics and the Development of Nordic Societies’. (Imagine a Finnish flag too🇫🇮)!
