Het wordt steeds warmer op IJsland, waardoor het voor muggen steeds aangenamer wordt.

Als ik alle lijstjes en doorrekeningen bekijk is wetenschap geen thema. Terwijl al enorm is bezuinigd. Was in Parijs voor wetenschappelijke adviesraad van nationaal infectieziekte onderzoeks initiatief. Frankrijk snapt wel dat dit niet de laatste pandemie was. @agenceANRS @pdpc21

Study on blood donations in Switzerland testing for anti N antibodies shows the course of the pandemic and the massive omicron wave. 60% of the population first infected during that wave. We were really lucky that that variant caused less severe disease. https://t.co/2A6Qm2s22x

As for other aspects of the pandemic, we need to learn from this one. Despite what some may say, “ never any slosures anymore” in future pandemics is popular, but not realistic. If we consider an H5 flu pandemic scenario, highest predicted burden would be in the young

Stuff like that. Not my expertise but work that is ongoing, among others in @pdpc21 . Expecting knee jerk responses but topic is serious

The stress and isolation of the pandemic have left social and emotional scars that are already being seen in children, but scientists also predict there could be huge economic costs.

Als Duitsers Nederlandse dijken gaan bouwen, hebben we hier een probleem @nos

nos.nl
Stel dat er nog twee keer zo veel regen valt, dan blijft Nederland veilig omdat in Duitsland de dijken langs de Rijn eerder breken. Maar wat als de roep om veiligheid daar groeit?

Warmste zomer ooit gemeten op Noordpool, ook rest van jaar relatief warm ⁦@NOS
nos.nl
De toegenomen warmte leidt er onder meer toe dat begroeiing en de bodem in het gebied droger worden, waardoor makkelijker natuurbranden kunnen woeden.

Meeting to discuss the Zika virus (and other arbovirus) roadmap https://t.co/U0fEj7NLwx Much needed. Arboviruses are among the main causes of disease, and impacted by global warming.
