NOW is the time for heightened awareness to be on the lookout for cases of acute flaccid myelitis in patients presenting with weakness: reports of widespread enterovirus D68 circulation across the US + Europe, and polio recently detected in NY and UK.

Recently I've heard from collaborators in the US & Europe that #Enterovirus #D68 #EVD68 cases are on the rise.
EV-D68 is what I worked on pre-pandemic, & hope to go back to.
A significant autumn 2022 wave has been a recent concern.
So what is D68 & what might this mean?

ALT From https://syndromictrends.com/ - doesn't break down between Rhino & Entero viruses, but does show a recent increase in them.

Some thoughts from a co-organiser's perspective on hybrid conferences in the aftermath of #ProbGen22. I think hybrid conferences should be the default in the future, for all sorts of reasons, so lets try to make them work as well as possible. (1/7)

"If we knew what the future held decisions would be easy...the alternative to using models is to guess."

In discussions of future COVID dynamics and potential for ‘herd immunity’, need to remember there are four main routes to immunity that can reduce Delta transmission - even though coverage often focuses on just one or two of them. A quick thread... 1/

Central to avoiding another wave is more time to give 1st &2nd doses of #Covid19 Vaccines.
