I swear #climatologists think less about #climatechange, #epidemiologists think less about #vaccination, and #paleontologists think less about #evolution, than the crowd of screeching #denialists who descend like locusts on any news story even vaguely related to any of these subjects.

Dave Volek's Pandemic Simulation
The COVID crisis inspired me to build a pandemic simulation for the public.
#Epidemiologists have their own simulations to predict the future, but they require a professional understanding and lots of computing horsepower.
My simulation is not "accurate." But it is easier to run and shows the cycles of a pandemic.

Racing to Save #California’s #ElephantSeals From #BirdFlu
In 2023, bird #flu arrived on the rocky shores of the Valdés Peninsula in Argentina, ripping through the local colony of southern elephant seals. More than 17,000 seal pups died. It could take decades for the population to recover.
Now, a team of #ecologists, #epidemiologists and #veterinarians is scrambling to keep the same thing from happening to northern elephant seals.

On April 1 staff of CDC's Childhood #Lead #Poisoning Prevention Program was terminated as part of agency's reduction in force. The staff included #epidemiologists, #statisticians, and advisors who specialized in lead exposures and responses. The cuts were immediately consequential to health officials in #Milwaukee, who are currently dealing with a lead #exposure crisis in #publicschools Six schools have had to close, displacing 1,800 students. https://arstechnica.com/health/2025/05/cdc-can-no-longer-help-prevent-lead-poisoning-in-children-state-officials-say/ #publichealth #healthcare

Any #epidemiologists or medical peeps want to comment on the off chance I contracted #covid at the hospital where I had my surgery. Had symptoms 14 days later, tested negative, 3 days later tested positive. Confirmed it on 2 rat tests. Other than is that timeline feasible, would it still be beneficial to take antivirals at this point?

Well here we go again. Another #Zombie idea #Xenophobes need to corral the intellectually impaired is resurrected yet again but alas :
#COVID19 DID NOT emerge from a lab. #Coronavirus constitutes a very large family tree extant in nature for a long time. We will likely be seeing the flares for a very long time and the conspiracy nonsense will likely be resurrected again and again…cause you shouldn’t trust #Epidemiologists, #Virologists, #Immunologists’ #InfectiousDisease specialists etc -

WHO experts are joining the National Rapid Response Team and are on their way to #Panzi. Team comprises #epidemiologists, #clinicians, #laboratory technicians & infection prevention and control, and #risk #communication experts. An initial local WHO team has been supporting health authorities in #Kwango since end of November to reinforce disease surveillance and identify cases.

H5N1 is an avian #influenza virus that causes respiratory disease in #birds & several land & sea #mammals. Recent #outbreak in #US, including infection of dairy #workers, has increased the concern around potential #transmission & spread. We asked #virologists, #epidemiologists, & public health experts what the most urgent questions and action points are at this stage of the outbreak.

Okay #mastodon - this one is pretty niche. I am hoping to learn more about #prion diseases for book research. My science background is armchair scientist, so ideally something for dummies. Less interested in mad cow etc and more in how these things work and spread and what we're learning about how the invasive agent causes the proteins to misfold.
Any ideas? #biologists or #epidemiologists out there that feel like pointing me in the right direction? #science #fiction

#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/ -

"In the US and Canada, #CWD has gained attention not only because it affects big-game animals but also because of the possibility that it could jump the species barrier. Deer, elk and moose could infect livestock, other mammals, birds or even humans. #Epidemiologists say the absence of a “spillover” case yet does not mean it will not happen. CWD is one of a cluster of fatal neurological disorders that includes BSE."

Do any of my #MediMasto know if there's a vaccine for the #XBB 1.5 yet or whether the current #vaccines (#bivalent, etc) actually protect against it? There are so many opinions and I trust y'all more!
This article SEEMS to say #bivalent doesn't help against it much but it lessens the impact. Did I read that right?Signed,
A Worried Uber Driver@WFKARS, @Drneuro, & all the #Virologists and #epidemiologists I didn't tag cos I don't know about you yet.

Who are the #epidemiologists and infectious disease #modellers on Mastodon?
Will update this list as I come across them & if you “favourite” or “boost” this toot you will be updated every time there is an addition.
This helps create an “Epidemiology/Modellers” list on mastodon to browse their focused stream.
List so far:
@famulare
@enenbee
@aetiology
@DrZoeHyde
@dgbassani
@doxy_cycling
@adamjkucharski
@dgurdasani1

Do #covid symptoms correlate to the strength of the line of an LFT? Mine do (sample size 2 so far!) However I've heard this from many other people over the years now. I also think there is a belief that a stronger line means stronger transmission.
Anyone know an actual answer to this? Need #Epidemiologists #Virologists and #Medical people.

@gregggonsalves There's a certain irony that a group that studies how to prevent organisms spreading appear to be applying their skills to themselves 🙂.
