Last January, I noticed something peculiar in my 2yo’s bedroom that - after a year of obsessive reporting - led me to a profound cosmic revelation about what’s even possible in our universe. A 🧵.

So far, #monkeypox seems generally mild (if sometimes very painful & physically scarring) - but is that enough not to worry? I still think we need to consider our response carefully. If it continues to be hard to contain, what are the medical *and* social risks? 1/14

It has been 2 months since the first cases were reported in the MPX multi-country outbreak, & the # of cases has now crossed 14k globally. While accurate information is critical to staying ahead, there is so much misinformation. An update on the current status of #monkeypox.🧵

🚨Well, I wrote about Omicron--what we know & what it means. I feel the core problem is unchanged: The variant poses a much greater threat at the societal level than the individual one, making it the kind of problem the US has consistently flubbed. 1/ theatlantic.com/health/archive…

There are two possible stable endpoints to the pandemic. 1. global elimination of the virus. 2. An endemic state where the virus circulates in a population immunised through previous vaccination(s) and infection(s) and causes minimal morbidity and mortality. 1/

A very calm thread🧵 Waiting for data before frightening kids, parents and the general public about variants, children and schools is important. They deserve this. It has not been well practiced across the board - and given todays @ONS data, it is particularly disappointing 1/

I often come across takes such as "SARSCoV2 is not seasonal, Brazil had a surge in summer", or "vaccination doesn't work, they still have cases in the Seychelles", or whatnot. Thus, I felt it may be useful to clarify that the underlying logic of such arguments can be flawed. 1/

Covid (@UCSF) Chronicles, Day 453 1/ I know everybody’s sick of playing 3-dimensional Covid chess. Sorry, but the Delta variant forces us back to the chess board. Ergo, this 🧵. If you’re fully vaxxed, I wouldn’t be too worried, especially if you’re in a highly vaxxed region.
