In summary, if we stick to something like 50% vaccine coverage and 15% treatment coverage w #antivirals (this is where we were in late 2022) then we should expect >81,000 deaths per year from COVID in the US. Analyses now published in @BMCMedicine. 4/

@BMCMedicine @jlservadio @maciekboni@athutran@EmilyHowerton6 Vaccine is still the most effective way reducing burden. Over 52-80% vaccine coverage is needed to reduce the mortality comparable to the burden of influenza. Treatment offers effective alternative in reducing severity in low-vaccine-coverage circumstances. 3/3

Hi #epitwitter, how does drug-resistance evolve to combination therapies? For #malaria this is a critical question, as #artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs) are now used worldwide, and drug-res evolves to both the artemisinins and the non-artemisinin partner drugs 1/
Today, @JohnsHopkinsSPH launched a free course on infectious disease transmission for public health practitioners. This course, taught by @EmilyGurley3 and @apwez, focuses on transmission models and decision-making. https://t.co/LqLJQOraco

Hi #epitwitter & thx @BillHanage. Our work on estimating attack rates is now published in @JAMANetworkOpen. Main msg: in early 2021 we shouldn't have been aiming vaccination coverage at an uncertain #herdimmunity threshold. Vaccinating everyone & faster is the better approach. 1/
