I've worked on infectious disease outbreaks for 30 years. I've NEVER seen anything like the speed of Omicron. It's as infectious as measles spreading in a non-immune population, with a much shorter incubation time therefore much faster doubling time. Hope it's a lot less severe.

[Emmanuel S. Francois MD, MPH @EfrancoisMD]

It is so simple!

[Bob Wachter @Bob_Wachter]

What to do now?
1) If not vaxxed, get vaxxed
2) If not boosted & >4-5 mths out, get boosted
3) Get prepared mentally to act more cautiously if Omicron proves to be more infectious, immune-evasive, or both
4) Follow the news & science – will be much clearer in 2-3 wks
5) That's it

The 5 Black Hawk helicopters seeing flying in the Dominican Republic's skies, and triggering hope among some in #Haiti about military intervention to free hostages, not so says a US source. These are Puerto Rico National guard choppers flying back from US & refueling in #DomRep.

il nous faudra […]investir dans la prévention, ce qui sera d’ailleurs nettement moins coûteux par rapport aux fonds alloués aux interventions d’urgence. « Chaque dollar investi dans la réduction des risques, équivaut à sept dollars d’économie dans la reconstruction»

If you’ve recovered from Covid, you have some protection from reinfection. But that protection can differ significantly from person to person so it’s hard to know how strong or lasting it is—especially if your illness was mild. That’s why it’s important for you to get vaccinated.

[Karine Jean-Pierre Archived @KJP46]

A picture is worth a few trillion.

[Emmanuel S. Francois MD, MPH @EfrancoisMD]

Agree. Any lawfully drawned contract would be able to accommodate a humanitarian crisis. And #COVID is one he’ll of a crisis.

[Dr. Tom Frieden @DrTomFrieden]

Pfizer and Moderna cannot make enough vaccines to meet global demand by themselves. They MUST work alongside governments to share their technology with other manufacturers, or millions could die from Covid avoidably—and the companies will be responsible for these deaths.

[Dr. Angela Rasmussen @angie_rasmussen]

This young, healthy professional athlete has myocarditis.

Not from a vaccine.

From COVID-19 infection. He’s one of many.

Infection-acquired immunity often comes at a steep price in long-term health compared to vaccination. Please get vaccinated!
