Hier, deuxième jour consécutif à (quasiment) 1,2 million de rendez-vous pris sur Doctolib pour recevoir une dose de rappel.

En deux jours, c'est donc l'équivalent de plus de 15% de la population aujourd'hui éligible au rappel qui a pris rendez-vous. #Covid29

Le profil de ces personnes ayant pris rendez-vous ces 2 derniers jours s'est très nettement rajeuni : plus de 80% sont âgées de moins de 60 ans.

Avant jeudi, les personnes âgées représentaient une part bien plus importante que celle ces deux derniers jours.

Le rebond des rendez-vous pour une première injection se confirme également : 24 000 ont été reservés hier, au plus haut depuis deux mois.

LIVE with @DrTedros: Launch of the @TheGPMB 3rd report on pandemic preparedness at #WHS2021 twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…
@DrTedros @TheGPMB "The new @TheGPMB report is brave, the kind that could only be produced by veterans in the field. It takes courage & experience to say we do not need new recommendations, because the previous recommendations out there were good ones & they still have not been fulfilled"-@DrTedros
@DrTedros @TheGPMB "Of course, we did not know when the next global crisis would arise, or what it would be. But we knew it would come eventually, and that the world was not ready, and urgent action was needed"-@DrTedros #WHS2021

There are many uncertainties w/ Ab testing:
—Do high levels of IgG protect from reinfection; how long do they persist, do they indicate an individual is incapable of spreading?
—The >20 tests vary w/r to methods, sensitivity, specificity, validation. Data are not transparent 2/x
The scalable tests (we need, massive, cheap quick) can be done in minutes via fingerstick.
Many resemble biopanda.co.uk test (according to @TheEconomist).
The one I did last week was far more comprehensive but may not well suited for mass use
