@StejokiKing @DrNeilStone To be fair, for Ebola “don’t touch infected bodily fluids” is genuinely better public health advice than “move to Canada”.
@StejokiKing @DrNeilStone Cold weather matters much more for mosquito-borne diseases like dengue than for Ebola, which spreads through direct contact. Canada has had Ebola cases before & they were contained through infection control & isolation measures.
@StejokiKing @DrNeilStone Ebola is a tropical zoonotic disease in origin, but temperature isn’t what mainly limits spread. Human-to-human transmission depends on direct contact, infection control and healthcare response not whether there’s snow outside.
@suemsm @JudeNarcisse74 @DrEricDing @TheDemCoalition @WHO Plus numerous expensive resource heavy public inquiries and investigations…
Public health officials learned absolutely nothing from 2020. In the wake of the deadly hantavirus outbreak linked to the MV Hondius cruise ship, international agencies are deploying the exact same bureaucratic word games that crippled the response to COVID-19. 🧵👇
@Doresby100 @DrNeilStone Global excess mortality estimates are roughly 15–25 million deaths, far above official COVID counts because many countries under-recorded deaths or lacked testing. You can debate attribution, but not simply dismiss the scale of mortality.
@NJTC8 @DrNeilStone Ignoring the fact that most people that died was before the vaccine!
@cooltxchick @DrNeilStone @DennyWill14 Mine too - and hospital acquired in Oct 2020 so way before the vaccine

If we don’t know the physical mechanism of transmission for a high-consequence pathogen the only scientifically honest posture is to admit it & implement maximum precaution. Until we cure "closecontactitis”, vocabulary will dictate policy instead of science

@kasza_leslie @EvonneTCurran @UKHSA Just a small correction: her formal peerage title is Baroness Hallett. “Lady Hallett” is also acceptable shorthand, but “Dame Hallett” is incorrect, as she’s a life peer rather than a dame.
