"The public's health is intimately linked to politics and policy. In order to advance understanding of the drivers of health in an era of emerging infectious disease and global pandemics, more political scientists must begin to do what we are uniquely well situated to do: analyze in a contextualized way the pathways and mechanisms through which power configurations cause illness and inequity."

COVID Virus Ventures Beyond the Lungs, Often Lodging in the Brain
Activation of endothelial cells brings platelets that stick to the blood vessel walls, causing clots and leakage…the tight junctions between the endothelial cells get disrupted, causing leakage…immune cells …may come to repair the damage, setting up inflammation. This causes damage to neurons.

To prevent another pandemic what needs to be done:
Shut down the wild animal markets and farms.
Stop the trafficking in exotic animals.
Practice strict biosecurity for factory farming.
Limit and regulate small/backyard farms.
Fund #publichealth
Fund basic research.
After the example of SARS, can we expect any limit on exotic animals being exposed to novel viruses to end in China? From what I can see, biosecurity in China is not enough. It needs to be like preventing fire in an oil refinery.
"It is imperative to conduct comprehensive investigations on the source of COVID-19 by tight international collaborations. Otherwise, the
world remains vulnerable to future pandemic of serious infectious diseases."
This is obviously nonsense. That doesn't stop it being repeated like prayers on a rosary. The whirlpool that is funding/publishing is a baptism that converts researchers into hucksters.

What is one thing you wish people understood about the pandemic?* One solitary specific thing.
For me, right now, it's that pathogenic diseases are driven by exposure to pathogens, not by stranger danger.
I'm not sure we ever collectively learned that lesson during the AIDS crisis and it doesn't look like most people understand it today, either.

Researchers Are Getting Closer to Learning How to Treat and Prevent Long COVID
"The latest hopeful news relates to metformin, an accessible and affordable drug that’s been FDA-approved to treat Type 2 diabetes since the 1990s. Metformin, which belongs to a class of drugs called biguanides, is taken as a liquid or pill and works by controlling the amount of sugar in the blood. It also decreases inflammation in the body."

In the US, the #COVID public health emergency may lapse on May 11. That means… funding for stuff you now get for #free will disappear.
If you have insurance, your insurance is required to reimburse you for 8 #tests per insured person per calendar month.
E.g., 2 adults + 2 kids = 32 tests (16 2-packs) per month
So… you can still get 3 months’ worth FREE IF you place an order in March, then in April, then in May (before the 11th!).

This frustrating story has echoes of the Trump Administration's disastrous efforts wrt research funding for abuse prevention.

📚 Interparental Coercive Control and Child and Family Outcomes: A Systematic Review.
The ongoing dangers of coercive control:
“CC [coercive control] was associated with increased parental psychopathology, poorer family functioning, harsher parenting and higher levels of child abuse, strained parent-child relationships, children used as tools and co-victims of CC, increased risk of child internalizing and externalizing problems, limited socializing opportunities, increased bullying, poorer perinatal outcomes, limited access to healthcare, and increased risk of child mortality. Evidence identified CC as a unique contributor to adverse child wellbeing outcomes, independent of exposure to IPV more broadly.”

We need a National Task Force on #covid to improve #PublicHealth infrastructure & pandemic response
“Three years into the COVID pandemic, more than 1.1 million people are dead, and millions more are living with long COVID. How did the nation judged most prepared for an epidemic or pandemic in 2019 suffer a death rate so much worse than peers such as Canada, Germany or Japan? These are historic failures … we need an honest examination of this tragedy and what led to it.”
Hi, #PublicHealth friends. I’m kicking off a #data project on public health workforce analytics, and I’m looking for a clean, concise list of scientific and public health capabilities that I can use as a skill list of sorts.
I’ve got he 2021 update of competencies from the Public Health Foundation - so I’m looking for a more scientific list to complement it.
Any suggestions?
“Social cohesion matters more than mandates.” That realization is HUGE for how we engage and empower people through public health communication moving forward.
