HANTAVIRUS OUTBREAK ON MV HONDIUS SPARKS GLOBAL CONTACT TRACING EFFORT

Hantavirus outbreak on MV Hondius sparks global contact tracing. Passengers disembarked on St. Helena on April 24 without tracing.

Several deaths confirmed from hantavirus on MV Hondius. 29 passengers disembarked on St. Helena on April 24 without immediate tracing.

"Countries worldwide scrambled on Thursday to trace people who had left the ‌cruise ship hit by a deadly hantavirus outbreak before it was anchored off the coast of Cape Verde to prevent further spread of the disease, which has so far killed three people.

"The ship's operator, Oceanwide Expeditions, said Thursday that 30 people disembarked the MV Hondius in St. Helena, a British territory where the ship ​made a stop on its way to Cape Verde on April 24, before the outbreak was reported."

RE: https://mas.to/@kakape/116527010734919180

So someone in #Switzerland left the MV Hondius *before* the spread of #Hantavirus was identified, and has been living in Zurich this whole time?!

The #Andes strain of this virus 🦠 present in #Argentina *can* be transmitted from person-to-person and has an incubation period of up to 30 days!

#ContactTracing is *back* in the #news. 😬

#ContactTracing of people who were on a flight with a person infected with a deadly virus 🦠 after disembarking from a cruise ship is *back* in the news. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/hantavirus-cruise-ship_n_69f9be2ce4b055e1a496b3b1

An elderly Dutch couple are both dead from #Hantavirus infection. Before boarding the MV Hondius 🚢, they were traveling in #Argentina where a strain capable of human-to-human transmission is present. Five others on the ship, including 2 crew members, developed symptoms. One has died, another is in ICU.

„As an example, during the #Euro football tournament in 2021, days with England matches showed sharp spikes in exposures and transmissibility. Digital contact tracing technologies can help control epidemics not only by directly preventing transmissions but also by enabling rapid analysis at scale and with unprecedented resolution.“

In our latest #preprint https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.02.11.24302649v2, we evaluate whether scaled up testing would be enough to control a future #pandemic, avoiding both lockdowns and mass infection, and robust to failures of #ContactTracing. An appendix covers logistics, which seem achievable with sufficient investment/preparation. Let's do better next time.

#ContactTracing software could accurately gauge #COVID19 risk
#Epidemiologists in the# UK analyzed 7 million people who were notified that they were exposed to #COVID-19 by the NHS COVID-19 app in #England and #Wales between April 2021 and February 2022. Researchers found the app did, in fact, accurately translate the duration and proximity of a COVID-19 exposure to a relevant epidemiological risk score. Time spent with infected individuals is a key determinant of risk. https://arstechnica.com/science/2023/12/contact-tracing-software-could-accurately-gauge-covid-19-risk/

I'm conflicted over whether #Sydney ever actually thought contact tracing would work? or if they screwed up on purpose because they wanted to "live" with COVID from the start?

For something that contagious #contactTracing only works when combined with a hard #Lockdown and a #zeroCOVID policy. As soon as you find one case = instant total lockdown. Then you contact trace to work out who needs to stay in isolation, then 99.99% of people get out of locky within days.

Research finds strong support for cell phone app-based contract tracing for COVID-19 in both the US and Europe across all population subgroups, irrespective of regional COVID-19 mortality rates.

Interesting study on COVID contact tracing, manually, or via apps. In NL, merely 2% of the PCR tests were done after a notification originating from the Dutch tracing app (CoronaMelder), and just 2.5% after being traced manually.

The study concludes that contact tracing, digitally or manually, had little effect (“limited impacts”).

Heute, am Tag nachdem die #CoronaWarnApp schlafengelegt wurde, feiere ich, dass es einer internationalen Gruppe von Wissenschaftler:innen gelungen ist, mit #dp3t ein funktionierendes System für eine #Kontaktverfolgung zu entwerfen, die nicht auf #Überwachung basiert und Vorlage für die deutsche #CWA wurde.

Besonders danken möchte ich Marcus, Marvin und allen anderen Freiwilligen, die die offizielle CWA zur @CCTG weiterentwickelt haben, obwohl sie nichts von den 220 Millionen € abbekommen haben.

Erst mit der #CCTG stand eine App zur Verfügung, die alle Kriterien für vertrauenswürdige Apps erfüllt, die @digitalcourage (mit mir) definiert hat: https://digitalcourage.de/digitale-selbstverteidigung/app-kriterien

Vielen Dank auch an die #FOSS-Projekte @fdroidorg und @microg, die wichtige Voraussetzungen für die CCTG geschaffen haben.

From the press release on the White Paper on Singapore's response to COVID-19:

"The TraceTogether (TT) programme faced slow adoption initially, and suffered a setback with the disclosure that TT data could be used for criminal investigations following earlier reassurances that the data would only be used for contact tracing."

"Impossible" to track: China gives up on COVID case count amid explosive outbreak

In an abrupt reversal, China ended mandatory testing last week.

#China #COVID #ContactTracing #ZeroCovid
https://arstechnica.com/science/2022/12/china-gives-up-on-tracking-covid-cases-amid-explosive-outbreak-eased-restrictions/

In fact even #ContactTracing data saw a drastic uptick in infections linked to restaurant visits. It is right there in the raw data.

As a result, the second wave came faster & was more severe resulting in a 2nd #lockdown that came earlier & lasted longer and I think was much more harmful for the business that #EOTHO was meant to help.

Not heeding expert advice did kill people. Too date, there has been no thorough investigation.

We need to understand how such policies came into this world.

A Russian friend told me they must scan QR codes for entry too.
