There is a number of easy steps to take to lower the chances of getting sick with #influenza and spreading it around - for those in good health, but also for elderly and the frail.

Take a look and join us in #FluAwareness campaigning - share the message!

Critical:
With or without the sparks 🎇 from B.1.1.529, Europe already faces a rapidly-growing inferno from Delta 🔥.

We cannot let a new variant distract us from taking action right here, & now, to bring cases down, & prevent more lost lives & livelihoods.

[Nextstrain @nextstrain]

Given mutational profile alongside quickly increasing frequency in South Africa, we have designated @PangoNetwork lineage B.1.1.529 as Nextstrain clade 21K. Viruses recently sequenced and shared from Botswana and South Africa are now visible at https://t.co/k4a6uE394p. 1/3

[Prof. Christina Pagel - @chrischirp.bsky.social @chrischirp]

THREAD on the new variant B.1.1.529 summarising what is known from the excellent South African Ministry of Health meeting earlier today

TLDR: So much uncertain but what *is* known is extremely worrying & (in my opinion) we should revise red list immediately.

This is why: 1/16

[Maria Van Kerkhove @mvankerkhove]

The trajectory of the pandemic is in our hands. It has always been in our hands. What happens now & into 2022 is up to us.

Collectively, we can end the #COVID19 pandemic through action. It’s up to all of us. We can save lives now. We must.
