C-MOR Research Consortium

Global project coordinated by @UNIC_med to study all-cause mortality associated with COVID-19.

This is our project. Please contact us if you can help in this important effort

[Antonis Polemitis @polemitis]

1/ We have started work this week on C-MOR @UNIC_CMOR - a consortium to establish the reference dataset on year-to-year global mortality to better understand the effect of COVID-19.

We are joined in this effort by many other universities.

The C-MOR consortium has released one of the most expansive studies on excess mortality from #COVID19 which relied on national and primary sources. Check out the results from 22 countries: https://t.co/uJ0AnxnxSU

Positive news from a Canadian study of real world vaccine effectiveness. Their estimates suggest one dose of Pfizer, Moderna or AstraZeneca offers good to excellent protection against the Alpha, Beta, Gamma and #DeltaVariant

SARS-CoV-2 vaccines substantially reduce transmission through 2 mechanisms:

(1) ⬇️ chance of infection (regardless of symptoms
(2) ⬇️ transmission potential of infected vaccinee

With vaccine programs languishing and thousands of workers returning from neighboring India, cases in Nepal shot up to more than 8,000 a day as of last week https://t.co/pCM7hdO4oV

[U.S. FDA @FDA]

Today, FDA expanded the EUA for the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine for the prevention of #COVID19 to include adolescents 12-15 years of age. FDA amended the EUA issued on Dec. 11, 2020 for administration in individuals 16 years of age and older. https://t.co/3ROLW8WXwL

We now show the breakdown between those who only had one dose and those who are fully vaccinated in these stacked-bar charts.

It shows large differences across countries.
In the US and Morocco a larger share of those who have received a first dose also received a second.

About 29% of adults worldwide said they would refuse a free vaccine if it were available to them https://t.co/LpLqHoAAiA

[Deakin University @Deakin]

#Deakin Chair in Epidemiology Professor Catherine Bennett told ABC she thought people would relax about getting the vaccine once others they knew had got it. Read more: https://t.co/LeIXD4GdTt via @theweeklytimes @DeakinHealth

Your second dose of a Covid-19 vaccine gives you more protection than you might think. Here’s why you should still get it, even if it’s later than planned. https://t.co/ODKWN1occb

Best data to date on side-effects following Pfizer (BNT162b2) & AstraZeneca (ChAdOx1 nCoV-19) #COVID19 vaccines.

Systemic side-effects were reported in:
*13.5% after 1st dose Pfizer
*22% after 2nd dose Pfizer

For the length of the pandemic until March, Asia was a quiet zone. Now it is the only continent in ascent, mainly driven by India w/ >350,000 new cases today (actual N much higher)
Also Malaysia, Iran, Japan, Cambodia, Thailand, Indonesia, Pakistan ,and others part of the rise

NEW: a deep-dive into the situation in India, where a devastating second wave is overwhelming hospitals and crematoriums, eclipsing global records as it goes https://t.co/epz0WG6GxK

250,000 new cases every day, and test positivity is soaring suggesting many are still missed

[Ashish K. Jha @ashishkjha]

Infection numbers in US so unusual

We've been stuck between 55K-70K per day for 2 months!

Longest we've been flat

Crazy part? Two dramatic things going on at once

B117 took over, causing cases to explode

Vaccinations going great, causes cases to plummet

And so....we're flat
