The sycamore tree on Hadrian’s Wall is as close as our culture got to a sacred tree - venerated, visited, endlessly represented - anachronistic in age weaving Robin Hood and St Oswald and the frontier forts and tribes of the Roman wall - and now felled like the druids’ groves

[David Pigott @davidmpigott]

Great to see thinking on this problem at this scale - congratulations @Soushie13 @thvanboeckel and colleagues!

[David Pigott @davidmpigott]

@BMCMedicine @IHME_UW Also, always important to recall how efforts like these are built upon decades of local, regional, and international data collection and curation efforts. Without these, such models are not feasible. I'd encourage looking at the Appendix files to see the full listing

[David Pigott @davidmpigott]

@BMCMedicine Mostly congratulations to the many @IHME_UW and global colleagues and collaborators who made this work happen! Especially Chris Schmidt, Liz Cromwell, and Simon Hay [none of whom are active on twitter!]

An effective response to a case should uncover other cases in these early days of public health actions

[David Pigott @davidmpigott]

Rapid #monkeypox comms in @Eurosurveillanc . An important reminder on what response management looks like from UK. Of the 86 cases through May 25, 82 came from the same incident. This is what a response will uncover! https://t.co/yw03cjB8XM

[David Pigott @davidmpigott]

Contrast this with early COVID-19 cases - incredibly hard to identify commonalities between the different cases being reported. Several hundred cases with a common known origin is a v different prospect to even 50 or so cases with unconnected independent origins

[Eurosurveillance @Eurosurveillanc]

A new issue featuring 4 rapid communications on #monkeypox is available
