6. A lot of
#Ebola transmission has happened in health-care settings. A study in Komanda found confidence in hospitals is waning & people are eschewing them,@UNICEF says. Rumors about the vaccine & safe burials are also undermining response work.pic.twitter.com/DHpZRQmVMm

5. There are data about
#Ebola infections in health care workers, but frankly, they confuse me. The WHO DON says there have been 55 HCW cases, 18 of whom have died. But it looks like they don't know the outcomes of 5 others. Still in care?pic.twitter.com/fwzm4Ko5H9

4. Another horrible figure: 29 of the cases to date have been pregnant women. Pregnant women aren't eligible to get the experimental
#Ebola vaccine. Women make up a disproportion segment of the cases in this outbreak.pic.twitter.com/bdGve7bDHG

3. Financial costs pale beside the human costs of
#Ebola, however. This one remains very tough on children. They make up a lot of the cases — 16% are children under age 5. Lots have been orphaned or separated from family during this outbreak — nearly 500 to date.pic.twitter.com/VGQfzoxHNk

2. Where to start? How about costs? The cost of fighting this
#Ebola outbreak has been revised upwards to nearly US$130 million until the end of January. And there's zero hope the outbreak will be extinguished by then.pic.twitter.com/TuRPKlvinv

There'll be more of these suspected cases going forward; in fact they are popping up in African countries regularly. Hospitals everywhere need to be take travel histories & think & test for
#Ebola when relevant. We in the media need to word coverage of them carefully.Show this threadThanks. Twitter will use this info to make your timeline better. UndoUndo -
The Swedish man who was tested for
#Ebola today does NOT have the disease. Mikael Köhler, chief medical officer for the hospital where he was tested, said the man was tested for several types of Ebola & Marburg. "All tests are negative."Show this threadThanks. Twitter will use this info to make your timeline better. UndoUndo -

4. Flu activity is widespread now in 24 states + Guam. Last week that figure was 11 (map on left). This map will fill in with brown over the next few weeks. Cover your coughs, folks, & if you are sick & work somewhere that gives you paid sick leave, stay home.pic.twitter.com/n0pgFE0Gec

3. The vast majority of infections so far this year are being caused by
#influenza A viruses, primarily#H1N1. In the southeastern part of the US, however,#H3N2 viruses are dominant.#Flu B activity is low right now but it commonly surges when A viruses wane.pic.twitter.com/1IiunQ9vJv

Scientists used rapid, in-the-field genome testing to allay fears about an unusual surge of Lassa fever cases in Nigeria last year. Is same being done yet in DRC's

@DrTedros says the U.S. is taking unmerited heat for not sending government employees to DRC's#Ebola zone, saying many other countries aren't either. A question, Tweet folk: Which countries have publicly said no?https://www.statnews.com/2019/01/04/ebola-vaccine-tedros-drc/ …Thanks. Twitter will use this info to make your timeline better.
