@kasza_leslie @DFisman @DrEricDing @GosiaGasperoPhD @jvipondmd @PopAlberta @RajBhardwajMD @TehseenLadha @GermHunterMD @LeylaDAsadi @drdagly @FionaMattatall @kwburak Contrast w Dr Fauci's Nov 2014 speech to that same National Press Club, at height of unfounded Ebola fears in USA.

Many similarities & differences:
• Body fluid contact Ebola in Africa; airborne fear in USA
• 19th Century Isolate/Trace 👍

• every possible mode of transmission
• timing of symptoms/infectiousness
• risk-based approach to manage travel & quarantine
• methodical symptom-checking + immediate isolation + diligent contact tracing

Fantastic Presentation w personable intro by @ashishkjha.

• each plateau between waves was too high, right from Spring 2020, and worse every time
• without saying #ZeroCovid he pushed elimination (not eradication) as the goal
• I saw slope of waves getting worse

@kasza_leslie @DFisman @DrEricDing @GosiaGasperoPhD @jvipondmd @PopAlberta @RajBhardwajMD @TehseenLadha @GermHunterMD @LeylaDAsadi @drdagly @FionaMattatall @kwburak @kprather88 @ashishkjha Last wk, Dr Fauci explained eradication & elimination, citing examples of each, but said that with high baseline from Delta, the focus with Omicron (for now) should be 'control'.

Examine carefully his definition of "control".

Alberta is NOT doing this.
