A legal puzzle: @RealCheckMarker warned that states may try muzzling science by cutting funding and genetic surveillance (PCR tests and sequencing). Lack of data will force WHO to declare the pandemic over.
Yet SARS is a notifiable event. The PHEIC would be back within 24 hours.

Are they defunding science? Data suggests so.
Look at the drop in sequencing volume in most countries over the past four weeks. It is dangerous and completely unacceptable. We are blinding ourselves.
Journalists, it’s your job to call this out, not mine.

Silver Check Mark if your quantitative reasoning skills are sharp enough to tell how many states test BELOW the volume needed for variant determination at 5% prevalence.
Gold if you often check the ECDC links and share in public 🥰 ecdc.europa.eu/en/covid-19

Good question: As COVID-19 affected millions, is it becoming "endemic" now?
The impact of SARS-CoV-2 on the brain is similar to traumatic brain injury without the trauma.
Multiplying the damage doesn't lessen it. "Live with it" is the recipe for failure.

You think I jest?
As a marathon runner, this pains me to hear -- and with increased hACE2, we are running early warning signals.

We focused on COVID-19 as systemic risk to society for good reason. Everyone who spent the past year(s) ignoring what's coming had better pay attention fast. The current state of denial is unsustainable.
What more can we do?
We cannot warn more clearly than this: here 30 papers carefully selected by @JessicaLexicus; and hundreds of thousands of paper for deeper research needs.
Journalists, policymakers, lawyers: you can and need to start now. Thanks all.

@JessicaLexicus Very good selection (and there's far more -- always recall that the COVID-19 science is only the warmup exercises before we bring on the climate science) @JessicaLexicus raindrop.io/JW_Lists/covid…
@JessicaLexicus The NIH COVID-19 database adds 1,000 peer-reviewed studies per week and meets specialized research needs. Go wild, have fun, & be safe everyone! icite.od.nih.gov/covid19/search/
Easy to see for social scientists like me: pandemics are always social phenomena. If you can't read the medicine and science, it doesn't matter as long as you're willing to learn; in many ways the legal, economic, political, cultural aspects weigh heavier.

As I always end on a constructive note: people are starting to organize around demanding #DavosStandard (clean air regulations) for everyone. Well done, keep going!
As we keep saying, lawyers and actuaries - not scientists or MDs - will end the pandemic.

(1) Climate activists have the theory of change "SAND in the gears": slow down the rotations of the industrial megamachine to survivable frequency. Ht @RealTadzioM @Ende__Gelaende
(2) SARS-Acquired Neurocognitive Decline (SAND) is the medical equivalent.

@RealTadzioM @Ende__Gelaende (3) Use syndemic theory for a unifying approach to social justice, COVID-19, climate, equity.
It's what we've always been doing. - Public health events and emergencies that have the potential to cross borders under IHR 2005 can even be climate-induced! 👍 who.int/health-topics/…

@RealTadzioM @Ende__Gelaende (4) Tell people - parents - it is happening. As journalists and governments sleep, we need to look out for one another. Few seem to be science-literate or proactive enough to read. It's called SAND (SARS-CoV-2-associated neurocognitive disorder). frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…
@RealTadzioM @Ende__Gelaende (5) What can we do? I shared dozens of threads for a start. First, I encourage bringing in more diverse expertise.
Ask experienced crisis managers and communities how SARS 2003 was eradicated. It's possible again, but after three years will be far harder.

@RealTadzioM @Ende__Gelaende (6) Why do such threads, from a few rare voices, share integrated analysis of the pathogenesis, epidemiology and logistics of SARS?
Because journalism and governments didn't live up to their responsibility yet. Turned positively, it's simple to do better!

@RealTadzioM @Ende__Gelaende (7) Start with this international organization perspective (UN and WHO). It has been largely missing. Climate activists may need to hear it.
Public health and climate are two sides of the same coin, linked by nonlinear feedbacks. Get in while it's hot! 🥰

@RealTadzioM @Ende__Gelaende To be fair, as some of these questions are highly counterintuitive: adding this brilliant explanation of epidemiology - through the film Minority Report - in this thread.
