Important to publish articles that provoke debate and encourage different ways of thinking at problems - why not consider a #PHEIC?
📢 A year after the @who.int declaration, #mpox is no longer a #PHEIC. However, the threat is not over as Africa CDC recommends the Public Health Emergency of Continental Security (PHECS) remain in place. 👇🏼

It's not that nobody is old enough to remember we saved the planet back in 2003 using simple NPIs at international airports, which prevented a few elite intercontinental travellers from spreading a plague - it's that nobody ever notices the bullet we dodged. #PrecautionaryPrinciple #PHEIC #IHR

"New normal"? What are you even talking about at this point? We can shut the pandemic down fast and easy. #PandemicPlayBook
#WHO #PHEIC
…with the news, you’d know about #Monkeypox / #Mpox (it was declared a #PHEIC in August 2024 by the World Health Organization)
You’d know about the increasing cases of whooping cough and #pneumonia
The return of #measles and #polio
This isn’t just due to anti-vaxxers, but studies…

és la percepció del risc. Les dues generen #PHEIC però la distància, per ara, genera poca urgència. I intrínsecament, aquesta segona epidèmia de #Mpox, aka #verolamico, sembla força pitjor i més complicada de gestionar que la del 2022. Font original: www.reuters.com/graphics/HEA...
Des de 2023 el nombre de casos cau a nivells molt basals però no desapareixen. I ara, el 2024, a l'estiu, segona #PHEIC, després d'una 1era alarma regional, per #Mpox, aka #verolamico, ara per circulació intensa i creixent d'un altre llinatge, el Ib, a països "habituals" com...
Evolució dels casos de #Mpox, aka #verolamico, en els darrers anys. El 2022, declaració de #PHEIC com a conseqüència de la progressió del llinatge II, que es propagà per tot el món, particularment en la comunitats de #MSM, i en zones no clàssiques (Europa i Amèrica).
Exemple d'evolució vírica. #Mpox o #verolamico amb els dos llinatges que han generat dues #PHEIC successives, el 2022 amb el llinatge II i el 2024 amb el llinatge Ib. Una evolució molt més lenta que la de #SARSCoV2, per exemple, però majoritàriament governada per l'atzar, com sempre.
#Children being neglected in the response to the #PHEIC response to #mpox is the reason we published this commentary in Lancet child and adolescent health two weeks ago. We laid out the priorities for this important vulnerable group.

Incredible reporting from #DRC at the frontlines of the hashtag#mpox outbreak. The #WHO panel maintained its recommendation that this continues to be a #PHEIC. Children continue to be overrepresented among new suspected cases. Yet they are not being vaccinated. www.science.org/content/arti...
100 days since #mpox in Africa was declared a #PHEIC. The response has been too slow.
- No POC test that can distinguish between clades
- Only 36% suspected cases getting testing
- Only 2 countries DRC and Nigeria vaccinating
- No therapeutics
- Limited vaccines

Planning to update our blog post (below) about the ongoing #PHEIC for #mpox. What questions do you have—whether as a public health professional or a concerned citizen? Let me know what you’d like addressed!

This is a horrible idea.
Taking a "break" won't make infectious diseases go away.
We are facing a worsening #H5N1 outbreak, a continued #mpox #PHEIC, an unprecedented ↗️ in #measles cases globally & an overall ↗️ in ID threats.
Not funding ID research increases the threat to the US and the world.

»Wenn wir jetzt nicht handeln, wird die Lage explodieren« #MPOX #PHEIC
Die Politik wird sicher sofort alle notwendigen Maßnahmen in die Wege leiten um die Ausbreitung zu verhindern und Menschen bestmöglich zu schützen. 🤡

“In the last month, around 90 cases of clade 1b mpox have been reported in four countries neighboring the DRC—Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, and Uganda—who hadn’t seen mpox before.”
Dr Tedros during today’s #mpox Emergency Committee meeting, where members are discussing if it should be declared a #PHEIC.
“And we do not want the world to sit and watch and wait until whatever that until is to actually trigger some action.”
Cool cool cool cool cool, does that action include masking requirements at airports, in airplanes, and all public spaces or nah? 😷 #mpox #PHEIC
