1/9 #COVID19 key concerns in 🇨🇦: We still face considerable challenges, including the need to extinguish ongoing outbreaks + we need to continue ramp up of testing to find/manage persistent chains of transmission in communities. #TestandTrace #CrushtheCurve
2/9 Nevertheless, today is a great day to consider the progress we’ve made in better understanding #COVID19. There are still a lot of unknowns, but the pace & expanse of evidence-based discovery & #science #innovation is inspiring. #GoScience #SlowtheSpread #PlanktheCurve
3/9 From discovery & genetic sequencing of the virus in January, to building our understanding of #COVID19 disease characteristics & spread through tried & true applied #epidemiology & #publichealth investigation, we’ve ↑ knowledge. #PlanktheCurve
4/9 Reflecting back on prior pandemics in the recent and more distant past, we witnessed some of the advantages of our more virtually-connected, technology-powered society. #COVID19 #Innovation #StrongerTogether #WeWillGetThroughThis #cavabienaller
5/9 Like everything else, these advantages and the progress we can make, are made better, faster and more powerful when we work together toward a shared goal. #COVID19 #StongerTogether #CrushtheCurve
6/9 We’ve seen the power of solidarity in a connected world, with researchers collaborating across borders, data trackers scrubbing the web to share up-to-the minute stats and charts for all the world to see… #COVID19 #Science #Innovation
8/9 It is hard to imagine where we would be now without our current connectivity ↑rapid and open sharing of research and scientific advancement on biomedical, social and policy countermeasures. Not to mention keeping us #TogetherApart! #COVID19 #Science #StrongerTogether
9/9 Although one of the downsides of a highly connected world is the ever present risk of emerging diseases that spread rapidly around the world - today’s #science announcements give us hope for our future. #COVID19 #PlanktheCurve #CrushTheCurve
