🗨️"I welcome the recommendations to establish new mechanisms for fast & reliable data to inform responses, and to commission ‘hibernated’ & other studies to be rapidly adapted to a new outbreak." Peter Horby @peterhorby.bsky.social responds to today's UK Covid-19 Inquiry report 👇 psi.ox.ac.uk/news-and-opini…

Overhauling pandemic plans and increasing pandemic response capacity is urgent. It is a mistake to think of it as a long-term aspiration against a theoretical risk. The risk posed by H5N1 influenza, uncertain as it is, is certainly higher than it has been for a long time.

Large study of UK COVID19 app data: 🏠 Household contacts were 40% of transmissions (but just 6% of exposures) 🕺 "Fleeting" contacts = low risk of transmission 📈 Odds of transmission ⬆️ w/ time exposed - median exposure was 6 hours! 👉nature.com/articles/s4158…

Hey Stad Antwerpen . Why am I being threatened with a €150 fine for visiting with my leased fully electric car ? I applied before visiting but the application was later rejected. You have since refused 2 versions of the registration documents, and are extremely rude. #LEZ

Title inflation is real: I've been promoted to Full Professor of Epidemiology & Data Science at the University of Oxford, effective as of mid-August. Big thanks to all my mentors, collaborators, and the evaluation panel.

Great to have Adam Kucharski open the new Pandemic Sciences Institute seminar series. Here discussing our decomposition of R(t) into contributing factors & other epi monitoring through the covid app, led by mishkendall + Luca Ferretti, out last month ICYMI x.com/ChristoPhraser…

Data generated from the implementation of control measures during COVID-19 is filling epidemiology knowledge gaps & preparing us for future outbreaks. Thanks to Adam Kucharski from Centre for Epidemic Preparedness & Response, LSHTM for opening our new PSI seminar series yesterday. More ⬇️ psi.ox.ac.uk/news-and-opini…

A bit delayed due to some tech hiccups, but I'm attending IAS - the International AIDS Society's #HIVR4P2024 in spirit (read: virtually) with an e-poster on my DPhil work with Christophe Fraser Group Kate Grabowski Luca Ferretti @NIAIDTraining et al.

Exciting last-day sympo at #HIVR4P2024: My Oxford PI Christophe Fraser Group on advances in HIV prev via phylogenetic research, stressing need for ethical conduct & anti-stigmatizing framing of results. Up next: Allan Maleche on the legal complexities of mol epi research in Africa.

Update on Marburg in Rwanda—Oct 10 No new cases (2 days in a row) No new deaths (2 days in a row) 3 more recovered 🎉🎉🎉 Added number of vaccine doses administered (346). Another 1,000 doses are on the way. All very very encouraging
