If you want to control the price of eggs, you need to control bird flu.

And the worst thing you can do if you want to control bird flu is censor scientists and scrub CDC data.

Just yesterday, the first U.S. case of a new mpox strain was reported. The case is mild and well-contained, but underscores concerns expressed at #TropMed24 that the strain could cause a new global mpox outbreak. Read more: https://t.co/DJBliPQhwI

Great meeting with global health partners on #mpox response. Continued coordination and collaboration necessary to combat mpox, #Marburg and other highly infectious diseases. A reminder of the importance to finalize the #PandemicAgreement 🤝

[FIND @FINDdx]

As part of our #100DaysMission, we're releasing an update on the diagnostic landscape for #mpox. Our DxConnect test directory now features an intuitive layout, customizable graphs, and downloadable tables, providing open access to vital diagnostic data!

[Devy Emperador @devymaye]

Good tests are key to any outbreak response. We are lucky to have #diagnostics available for #Mpox (check out the PDxRI here for more info: https://t.co/O7xzlBRdtr), but we need to know how well the tests work and how to increase access in areas that need them.

🚨 The @WHO declaration of #mpox as a public health emergency highlights the critical need to protect our most vulnerable communities. Surveillance & accurate diagnosis are essential in preventing the spread.

Our Director of Pandemic Threats @agogo_immanuel just launched the Pathogen Diagnostic Readiness Index at #GPPS2024. It highlights that SARS-CoV-2 is the only pathogen with adequate diagnostic readiness out of 20 pathogens with a pandemic potential.

Be sure to check it out!
