The effect of #NPIs on #influenza throughout the #COVID19 #pandemic: an 8-year interrupted time series study

I recall an article two(?) years back about #Auckland Transport considering and then scrapping improvements to ventilation and air filtration on their buses, as not being worth the cost.

Would love to know how much driver shortages due to illness has cost them since.... 🤔

Welcome to the first day of fifth year of the #SARSCoV2 #pandemic!

Yesterday we concluded our fourth full year of this emergent disease with still-unknown long-term consequences for acute-phase survivors.

And of course today I had an opportunity to be reminded again at how we are using even small choices to fail people during this challenging time. 😐

Attached: 1 image Had a hospital clinic appointment today. There's a couple of big signs just inside the entryway, which is great! I get to the clinic clerk, and after the usual nonsense of none of them bothering to find ways to accommodate patients they "can't hear" through a mask, asks me, "Are you wearing a mask for safety or a health condition?" Erm, yes? Both!??!! 😳🙄😐 1/x #abhealth #AHS #yeg #MaskUp #CovidIsInYourFacilityRightNow #SafetySignage

''In conclusion, spread from returning #travelers resulted in #community #transmission of the emergent #Delta #VOC in British Columbia beginning in mid-to-late March 2021. However, growth of #COVID19 cases in the initial 3 months after Delta was detected was likely restrained because additional #NPIs were implemented soon after variant introduction,...''

The Royal Society’s programme on the impact of non-pharmaceutical interventions on Covid-19 transmission | Royal Society

The Royal Society has launched a new report investigating the evidence of the impact of non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) on the transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 virus since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic.
