What we're expecting in #China:
- Major #omicron epidemic in coming months
- According to our reference scenario, we expect 323,000 total deaths by 4/1/23
- Infections to peak around 4/1, but we expect number of susceptible individuals to sustain transmission months after April

What about #vaccines?
Although there is a high #vaccination rate, there's comparatively low effectiveness of the vaccines used in #China against Omicron & the large gap since vaccination for many individuals means that 80% of the population is susceptible to #Omicron infection.

#FreedomDay would people who now feel they have freedom and #Covid is just a cold, whoāve been on holiday, the pub, concerts, etc., join our #Campaign to getevusheld.uk. @evusheld4theuk is a group of immunosuppressed ppl who donāt respond to Covid vaccine. Because ā¦..
They donāt respond to #pfizer, #AstraZeneca #Moderna or they canāt have the same vaccine as you because drugs they are taking for @bloodcancer_uk @kidneycareuk @ArthritisSoc and many other diseases you havenāt heard of but YOU might get. Nobody expects a life limiting diagnosis

I am a doctor who contracted covid caring for covid patients at work. Failure to provide RPE left me and my colleagues knowingly exposed to deadly airborne pathogen. Previously fit and well, no co-morbidities, I am a shell of my former self. š§µ @LaylaMoran @AppgCoronavirus 1/10
Diagnoses so far include, encephalitis, central sleep apnoea, myopericarditis, bilateral sensorineural hearing loss, tinnitus, dysautomnia, POTs, PEM/PESE. 14 mths into this illness, I am still housebound. 2/10
After dedicating the last decade of my life to becoming a doctor & placing myself into significant debt, I now face the threat of dismissal. 3/10
Patients have been asking about the new #COVID19 #antivirals.
I looked into the effectiveness of two well-publicised 'game changer' anti-virals, #Paxlovid and #Lagrevio
I looked into the effectiveness of two well-publicised 'game changer' anti-virals, #Paxlovid and #Lagrevio
On the Pfizer medication which has widespread coverage in the media - #Paxlovid - well it is unpublished, though the FDA issued an emergency approval. Pfizer website has minimal info.
But is looks like- for HIGH RISK patients only- it reduces the risk
But is looks like- for HIGH RISK patients only- it reduces the risk
of hospitalisation or death by 3.5% (that is 29 people needed to be treated, so that 1 benefits).
Caveats ++ as unsure on side effects, cost etc. but that is genuinely useful, yet prob not the 'gamechanger' for community care, which #COVIDcelebs would lead us believe.

@jenbrea Hey! So I'm getting to the point where I could write a long paper about potential overlapping connections b/t #Alzheimer's and #MECFS, but I'll summarize a few top trends in this thread! First, I brainstormed often on topic with the late Rob Moir
@jenbrea 2/ Robās research (done w/ Rudy Tanzi + Will Eimer at Harvard) forms the core of a potential ongoing paradigm shift in Alzheimerās - namely that #amyloid beta may be an antimicrobial peptide that forms in response to pathogens in #brain tissue: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30001512/
@jenbrea 3/ To better understand that research, read this #interview I did with Rob before he passed away last year from glioblastoma. Key to ME/CFS is his work indicates that amyloid may form in response to herpesviruses like HSV1 in the Alzheimerās brain: microbeminded.com/2017/12/18/intā¦
As the #COVID19 #outbreak evolves, comparisons have been made with #influenza. Both cause respiratory disease but there are important differences between #SARSCoV2 #virus causing COVID-19 & the influenza virus causing the #flu [from WHO COVID situation report 06.03.2020] #scicomm
Similarity #1. Both #COVID19 & the #flu have a similar disease presentation. Both cause respiratory disease, which presents as a wide range of illness from asymptomatic or mild through to severe disease and even death.
Similarity #2. Both #SARSCoV2 & #influenza viruses are transmitted by contact, droplets & fomites so same #publichealth measures (hand hygiene, good respiratory etiquette (coughing into elbow / into a tissue, immediately disposing of the tissue) are important to prevent infection
