    An important step forward in society’s effort to reduce death and disease from Covid announced by Pfizer, where I serve on the board; and a proud moment for my Pfizer colleagues and all the patients, providers, scientists, and others who helped make this possible.

    UPDATE: We are proud to announce, along with , that our mRNA-based candidate has, at an interim analysis, demonstrated initial evidence of efficacy against in participants without prior evidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection.

    Good policy work here, will provide flexibility for the delivery of the Covid antibodies in alternate sites of care; including potentially for home infusion. This can expand access — especially to underserved communities.

    “Today, is announcing a historic, first-of-its kind policy that drastically expands access to monoclonal antibodies to beneficiaries without cost sharing."

    "The bigger risk is just the mobility. When you look at this epidemic from the beginning ... it tracked pretty closely with mobility," says on spread. "If people on the whole just go to the store one less time a week, you could substantially reduce spread."

    There are many disruptive technologies in the near horizon that could help improve the public health response to epidemics. I'm betting on a revolution in the field of diagnostic tests. They are becoming better, faster, and more portable.

    A single test could rapidly ID non-human DNA in any body fluid, eliminating lengthy diagnostic odysseys for patients with unknown but life-threatening infections. New data from was published in this week.

    I completely agree. The false dichotomy of full lockdowns and a total free-for-all being the only options has allowed the terrible "herd immunity via mass infection" proposals to gain traction. We need to move away from this binary understanding to employ these targeted measures

    This is not a question of lockdowns vs no lockdowns. The question is how do we take targeted measures, get broader compliance to prudent steps like masks, distancing, avoiding large gatherings; to reduce, slow spread so that the healthcare system doesn't risk getting overwhelmed.

    Analysis from Trevor Bedford on some of the current case numbers, and trajectories of death and disease in the U.S.

    After posting about sharply rising cases Friday, there were multiple replies to the effect of "but deaths aren't going up". As should be obvious to most at this point, (reported) deaths lag (reported) cases. This thread investigates. 1/8

    Cannot emphasize this enough: What New York City did in March will not be possible now. It's too widely distributed to ship personnel in from everywhere else to help handle the spike.Too many places need extra help, too few places able to donate it.

    Covid hospitalizations are rising quickly. We need to start discussions about how we preserve health system capacity given the velocity of this growth in hospital and ICU admissions, and the fact that it will be harder to backstop hospitals given how distributed the epidemic is.

    I agree with Dr . This isn’t an all or nothing approach. There are activities and measures we can employ now to slow spread Sharing NY State’s hyper local, micro-cluster strategy approach that’s based on low baseline of COVID19 spread:

    Congress needs to provide economic support to help people who will be hardest hit by the current epidemic wave, including small businesses. 2021 will be a better year - our technological counterattack will prevail. We need to work together to get through this hard Winter stretch.

    Another measure that we need to start watching closely is ICU admissions and ventilator capacity. There is significantly more resiliency in the system than in the spring, but key shortages could emerge; especially with respect to having enough trained personnel to staff ICUs.

    Agree Scott. Surging capacity needs Space, Stuff and Staff. We can find space, we may find stuff (PPE, remdesivir, monoclonals, ventilators) but STAFF will be the problem. We simply don't have enough physicians and specially nurses to take care of many more patients.
