Herd immunity is not an option. If we go down that path, Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) projects about 700,000 #COVID19 cases a day in Jan and about 513,000 deaths by Feb 1 in the US. Listen to science and give scientists a chance to deliver a safe and effective vaccine. We should not surrender.

What if the isolation period for covid cases/contacts becomes a positive experience for all? With no loss of income & with extra support (good food, internet connection, quality online school, phone/video calls to check in, heating). The ultimate intervention is isolate not test.

.Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) new projections show that daily infections in WHO Regional Office for the Eastern Mediterranean remain at dangerous levels but only 39% of people always wear a mask when leaving their home.

Education is crucial for our prosperity. As a professor, I see a huge difference between a lecture in a classroom or online. Interactions between students and faculty on campus is part of teaching and learning. Cannot wait for our students to return. economist.com/the-world-ahea…

We're all SO TIRED of Covid. But there's actually a lot of good news. Cases plummeting. Vaccines steadily rolling out, with more vaccines on the way. We just need to hang in there a few more months, and the worst will be behind us.

Are cases going up or down? The media tend to focus on a single survey study each week without giving the bigger picture showing all three. Its much clearer that prevalence rates are still declining- although as expected the rate is slowing down which show we are still on track !

The virus that causes Covid is learning and adapting to humanity. If humanity doesn't learn and adapt, the virus will keep spreading, and killing.
