The @TheLancet has created a #COVID19 Commission, with mostly predictable members, chaired by Jeffrey Sachs. covid19commission.org/commissioners It has 12 Taskforces. One studies viral origins debate-- its 1st rpt has no conclusions, but a research wish-list.

2/ There are now so many #COVID19 intl commissions & task forces out there that I doubt anyone can keep track, or read all their reports. Everything is couched in UN-speak -- "might have," "could have", "may in the future."

Wait... "the peak is over" doesn´t mean "it´s back to normal"!
Confinement will only fall on December 15,
if there´s less than 5.000 new cases a day.
(today it´s ~9.000).
France is disappointed.🙁
Although they certainly can make it happen.

As #COVID19 cases are found to spread, #Melbourne (city of ~5 million) tries to contain them by going into #Lockdown.

"People acting as if the pandemic was over was 'not the answer, it is part of the problem' ".
"The virus had leaked from postcodes already under the stay-at-home orders to other parts of #Melbourne."

Vorpommern-Greifswald district (where rejections of #Gütersloh residents took place, yesterday)
has specific rules:
"Those who return from international risk areas (out of Germany) or whose Corona-Warning App has alerted them, need to report to authorites"

In fact, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern's Corona-ordinance really prohibits entry of people from international risk areas AND german risk areas as well.
It's just not prominently featured on their websites.

Let’s talk about the proverbial elephant in the room RE #CompassionateRelease of persons incarcerated in #prisons in the midst of #COVID19. A [long] thread with thanks to @briewsf @DrNovisky @GeriPowerMD 1/21
While a partnership between @FAMMFoundation @NACDL @WashLaw4CR is tackling petitions in the @OfficialFBOP Why don’t we see governors and other leadership extending release to many of the #vulnerable housed in state #prisons? 2/21
By #vulnerable, I mean those persons who meet #CDC guidelines for greatest risk of serious illness due to #COVID19 -- persons over 65 (#olderadults), those with #chronichealth problems including severe #asthma #liverdisease or are #immunocompromised (#hepatitis) 3/21
Thank you @PlzSolveCFS for including me this video that helps people better understand the devastating and debilitating disease #ME/CFS: m.youtube.com/watch?v=LPUxt3…
2/ A growing body of evidence indicates thst #ME/CFS involves neuroinflammation, possibly connected to the activity of #viral pathogens capable of persisting in the central nervous system (CNS): frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…
3/ There have been dozens of #ME/CFS #outbreaks over the years, many connected to #enteroviruses, coxsackie #viruses and even respiratory viruses (w/ enterovirus found in the brain of patients via autopsy in some cases)
To help explain the value of #CDC to the stock market-obsessed Trump administration, in Nov 2018 colleagues and I wrote this article about the links between global health security & the US economy, including effects on jobs, tourism, travel, and education.

I'm a research scientist in #forest #ecology at the @cflscf (@NRCan). With a high-expertise team, we are looking at the dispersal patterns of the most important pests in eastern North American conifer forests: the #sprucebudworm. 2/
@cflscf @NRCan #Sprucebudworm #outbreaks occur every ca 30-40 years and can last 5 to 15 years. The last major outbreak (1969-92) covered 55 M ha (yes MILLIONS !) and resulted in tremendous losses in the forest sector. (below: area defoliated in 1975). 3/
