Job opportunity for infectious disease modeller at Public Health Ontario working on respiratory virus shedding dynamics at individual and population levels …chealthontario.wd10.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/PHOCaree…. Closes tonight at 11.59PM
Disconcerting news about #ProMED, an invaluable service that should really be treated as a global public good. "ProMED, an early warning system on disease outbreaks, appears near collapse" statnews.com/2023/08/03/pro…
A suggestion for visualising and predicting the effects of new variants using "variant pressure", a quantity that can be calculated from the proportion of each variant. Shown here is variant pressure for the BA.2 and BA.5 waves in the UK, with a comparison to infection numbers.
In Denmark, BA.2 was introduced earlier and has outcompeted BA.1. As in the UK, BA.2 has the greatest growth advantage, followed by BA.1.1. BA.1 and BA.1.1 cases have been falling (r < 0) in recent weeks. BA.2 has been growing throughout, but appears to be peak now.
That brings us to 10,000 excess deaths in the past 3 weeks in South Africa, and around 14,000 since the first deaths attributable to this wave (early December). The final toll from Omicron could be 25-30,000 deaths. Not so mild. Source: samrc.ac.za/sites/default/…
New work out in JAMA today. Main findings: (1) VOC cases are 49% more transmissible than non-VOC, (2) variant cases increased even during the 6-week province-wide lockdown (Dec 26 to Feb 9) jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/…
My latest w/ The Local: Toronto's northwest, which contains the highest-risk neighbourhoods for COVID-19, has been left behind in the pharmacy rollout of the vaccine. In the initial 200+ pharmacy selection in Toronto, not one was in a top-5 highest risk neighbourhood. Thread(1/5)

SARS-CoV-2 with S-gene target failure, a proxy for B.1.1.7, is rising rapidly in parts of the GTA. Work with PHO and Dynacare colleagues @LeeGoneau medrxiv.org/content/10.110…
I'm worried this is happening across the country with communities that are hit hard not the ones getting vaccinated Solution is not to slow things down with complex rules Its to use data to track and proactively target efforts to ensure highest risk folks are not left behind

My take on taxes, the social contract and giving people a hand up. First, I don’t think anyone *likes* paying taxes. Well, except for @mcuban. In the ‘90s I didn’t pay taxes since I was mostly reliant on the state. I had a couple of kids and was raising them mostly alone. /1

6025 Sussex in Burnaby is federal land – where the city asked to build 300 affordable homes. And Trudeau refused. Like Poilievre, he prefers to sell public land to rich developers. I'm calling on Trudeau to reverse his decision so that 300 families can have an affordable home.
Le 6025 Sussex à Burnaby est un terrain fédéral. La ville a demandé à construire 300 logements abordables sans but lucratif. Mais Trudeau et Poilievre préfèrent vendre des terrains publics à de promoteurs. Dans le budge, je demande à Justin Trudeau de revenir sur sa décision.
@t0nyyates Interesting. We had similar discussions around things like R estimation in pandemic (which has implicit forecasting component). I.e. how to divide up methodological development (more technical) and routine application (more pressured, with policy interface).
This won’t happen because of pay scales; but also forecasting is repetitive, very demanding towards the deadlines, and the entire purpose is giving life to others’ views. It’s hard to persuade more experienced and technically sophisticated staff to do this.
Bernanke: "in the longer run the Bank should aim to have fewer but more experienced and technically sophisticated staff members involved in modelling and forecasting". A lesson for many central banks in Europe, not just the BoE.
