#Trump admin shutting key #US researchers out of #global #virus response talks, documents & sources reveal

Key officials responsible for leading US #research on #InfectiousDisease threats have been #barred from speaking directly with the #WorldHealthOrganization [#WHO] — effectively shutting some of them out of the global discussions on virus #outbreaks, according to documents & multiple sources.

Is Beacon an alternative to promed mail for outbreak news and event based surveillance? Any thoughts? #episky #idsky #outbreaks

…For more than a year, large #measles #outbreaks have popped up all over the #US, in places including #Texas & #SouthCarolina. But unlike those outbreaks & many of others over the last 2 decades—which have often had ties to insular religious communities, like Mennonite, Amish & ultra-Orthodox Jewish groups—the virus appears to be spreading through the broader population in #Utah.

Hi everyone 🖖

If you are thinkging about using #nanopore for genomic surveillance in #hospitals, but don't have the #bioinformatics nor command-line skills, don't let that put you off.

'Modernising Medical Microbiology', at @NDMOxford in #Oxford, has developed `OxBreaker': a graphical tool that can help identify budding #outbreaks by #healthcare professionals without having to upload your data to external servers and compromise patient privacy. Worth a read 👇

#BrownUniversity’s #Pandemic Center studies #pandemics, and the #US resurgence of #measles is a grim sign of what’s coming
Low levels of #vaccination across the country mean measles #outbreaks will continue to occur, needlessly hospitalizing and killing the unvaccinated. But beyond these harms, the disease’s resurgence serves as a serious warning about the country’s capacity to manage #infectiousdisease threats of all kinds.

Viral #Outbreaks Take a Common Path from Animals to People, Study Finds How #Pandemics Are Made
Scientists compared seven viral outbreaks that occurred in recent decades, including epidemics of Covid, Ebola and influenza. The outbreaks were not preceded by any unusual genetic changes in the viruses. In all but one case, in 1977, the viruses circulated in animals and gained the ability to spread to and among people only by unfortunate coincidence.

The funds are administered through the #CDC. They include grants given to #states for a variety of purposes, including hiring staffs, modernizing data systems & managing #disease #outbreaks. Some programs are aimed at the needs of specific communities.

Some of the cuts will be finalized this week & others over the coming weeks, totaling roughly $600 million.

The withdrawal will hurt the global response to new #outbreaks & will hobble the ability of #US #scientists & #pharmaceutical companies to develop #vaccines & #medicines against new threats, said Lawrence Gostin, a #PublicHealth #law expert at Georgetown University.

The #WHO is the #UnitedNations’ specialized #health agency & is mandated to coordinate the response to global health threats.

#US #vaccination rates are plunging. Look up where your #school stands.
Rocked by pandemic politics, the nation’s shield against infectious disease is shrinking.
Before the pandemic, roughly half of counties had #kindergarten #vaccinationrates high enough to prevent #measles #outbreaks.
After, many lost ground, leaving only about a quarter of the counties with #herdimmunity in kindergartners.

#TrumpRegime helping bring back #measles.

This year, nearly 2,000 reported cases of measles spread across 47 #outbreaks, while three people have died so far. It’s the largest case count seen since the #viraldisease was locally #eliminated in the U.S. a quarter century ago.

A highly contagious norovirus is rapidly spreading across North Carolina, with 153 outbreaks nationwide since August, mainly in close-quarter settings like schools and healthcare facilities. The virus transmits easily through contact with infected persons, contaminated surfaces, or raw shellfish—especially oysters, which can carry deadly bacteria and viruses. Symptoms—nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and stomach pain—appear within 12-48 hours and last 1-3 days, but vulnerable groups like young children, seniors, and immunocompromised individuals face severe risks. No treatment exists, making prevention crucial. How can you protect yourself during this surge?
