Why are we so worried about #Omicron? Brilliant talk by Emma Hodcroft @firefox66 at @MCIDBern symposium @unibern
@ProfVolkerThiel comparing mutations between Delta and #Omicron.
And here is why it is a variant of concern. @ProfVolkerThiel
What do we need to know? What is happening next? @ProfVolkerThiel
Yes, there appears to be some immune evasion, but some neutralizing activity left if you are boosted. Data from @sigallab presented by @ProfVolkerThiel at @MCIDBern symposium.
An important word on travel bans from @ProfVolkerThiel Cancelling of flights delayed progress...
Now @C_Althaus on how well does #Omnicron spread? @MCIDBern symposium.
Math modelling output - impact of immune evasion and increase in transmissibility. @C_Althaus @MCIDBern symposium.
Stressing uncertainty
Further evidence of immune evasion from South Africa @Tuliodna

When do travel restrictions make sense?

We have been here before...
Recovery despite Delta.
Despite #Omicron? Too early to tell.

«Das ist nicht meine Sicht, das ist was die Zahlen uns sagen»

@pietrovernazza hat den @medinside Preis gewonnen.

Im Interview erklärt er, dass es 2020 KEINE ÜBERSTERBLICHKEIT gegeben hat!

Schauen wir uns das kurz an.

Die Übersterblichkeit ist definiert als eine höher als erwartete Sterblichkeit - unter Berücksichtigung der zeitlichen Trends.

Der erwartete Bereich ist in der Grafik grau angegeben. Eine deutliche Übersterblichkeit gab es leider sowohl in der ersten wie der zweiten Welle.

Die Übersterblichkeit ist in der Schweiz ist höher als in anderen Ländern in Europas.

@SGruninger @beftwi @EberhartSusanne @C_Althaus @SwissScience_TF @marcelsalathe_d @eggersnf Es war bereits im Juli und August klar, dass wir ein exponentielles Wachstum haben und dass die Situation entgleisen wird wenn es so weiter geht. Dass sie dann mit dem kühlen Wetter anfangs Oktober entgleist ist hat niemand so vorausgesagt, aber eine Überraschung war es nicht.
@SGruninger @beftwi @EberhartSusanne @C_Althaus @SwissScience_TF @marcelsalathe_d @eggersnf Weiter sollten Sie wirklich unterscheiden zwischen was Mitglieder der TF in den Medien sagen und was die TF in ihren Policy Briefs erarbeitet hat. Die Briefs sind sehr konsistent - siehe meinen Thread
@SGruninger @beftwi @EberhartSusanne @C_Althaus @SwissScience_TF @marcelsalathe_d @eggersnf Es ging darum, über den Sommer die Fallzahlen tief zu halten, sodass wir mit einem guten Polster in die kühle Jahreszeit gehen. Das war die von der TF empfohlene Strategy. Leider ist dies ist nicht gelungen.

5256 new #Covid19 cases today, test positivity 20%. Could this situation have been prevented?
Time to look back at the recommendations of the @SwissScience_TF.

A few quotes from key policy briefs follow below (a thread):
All policy briefs available here: ncs-tf.ch/de/policy-brie…
A key policy brief of the @SwissScience_TF is the one published on 11 April 2020 with the title “Proposals for a transition strategy”. It details criteria for lifting measures:
“..., the relaxing of control measures can be justified only if the effective basic reproduction number Re is substantially smaller than 1 (<0.7) with sufficient statistical certainty.”

Unfortunately, most measures were lifted end of June, when Re was around 1, with uncertainty

Jonathan Van-Tam says the UK is at 'tipping point' of #COVID__19 crisis. See @guardiannews at bit.ly/30UURzr

What about Switzerland?

Thread 1/6
Let us compare the rate of new cases in the UK and Switzerland (from @OurWorldInData): both countries are clearly on the path of exponential growth, and are therefore beyond the 'tipping point'. Btw, the same applies to France or the Netherlands.

What needs to be done now?
2/6
Jonathan Van-Tam (like @alain_berset) is not announcing any new measures but appealing to people to stick to the measures already in place.
Let's compare the stringency of measures in place in the UK and Switz.
