Friends, "The End Of Epidemics" is out TODAY! There will always be new outbreaks. But it is within the power of modern #PublicHealth leaders to keep such outbreaks from exploding into catastrophic epidemics that kill thousands or millions. endofepidemics.com #EndEpidemics

THINK LIKE AN EPIDEMIOLOGIST: Lately I have been asked why we are seeing a dramatic turnaround in cases in the US. Is it vaccines? Herd immunity? An artifact due to a drop in testing? Behavior change? Weather?? A few tweets about how I step through this question. 1/6

As I told @tomkeene on @BSurveillance , It’ll take individual sacrifice to gain the collective benefit of ending the pandemic. Not complicated—just difficult. @RockefellerFdn @DukeGHI @ashishkjha @GlobalHealthOrg youtube.com/watch?v=YCAJLOHx…

"We really need to set up large scale screening tests around protocols for workplaces, communities, schools, nursing homes and we haven't had that," says @jonoquick. "We aren't doing anywhere near the amount of testing we need to do."

Some folks arguing that rising cases of COVID no big deal because people aren’t getting sick
And death rates still falling so its all harmless, right?
Actually, no.
Closer look at data tells a concerning story
Deaths starting to rise. Exactly as we worried about

5 truisms of public health, racism, COVID-19.
1. Mass gatherings spread virus
2. Being outside helps – we don’t know how much.
3. Wearing mask helps – may be a lot.
4. Racism kills
5. A destroyed economy kills

No question what prevents #covid19: HERD BEHAVIOR (herd awareness) when we all physical distance & use face masks—LANCET review 172 studies, 16 countries, 6 continents. @RockefellerFdn @DukeGHI @T_Inglesby

Absent herd immunity from vaccine or infection, best weapon against COVID-19 “herd awareness” preventive behavior: personal space, masks, hand-washing, self-isolation when needed. @RockefellerFdn devex.com/news/watch-rockefe…

2001: anthrax
2003: SARS
2009: H1N1
2014: Ebola
2015: Zika
2020: Covid
This pandemic is historic, but health security threats are alarmingly common. We must break the reactive cycle of panic and neglect and prepare our public health and medical systems for the next threat.

That “combatting the epidemic is ultimately about social justice, human rights, and accountability” as true today when I wrote it endofepidemics.com or Zachie lived it 20 years ago. @DukeGHI @RockefellerFdn @MSHHealthImpact @GlobalHealthOrg

@jonoquick Ring the Alarm - Rouse the Leaders - citizen activists and social movements must mobilise the public and hold leaders feet to the fire - Aids activist Zackie Achmat showed that combatting the epidemic is ultimately about social justice ,human rights and accountability
