Some personal thoughts on the path forward with #COVID19 recovery. Please follow if interested. 1/10
It may not be popular, but we might want to consider issuing some type of “card” or “certificate” for those who have been tested and are disease free as a means of expediting return to work, air travel, etc. Again, frequent testing critical. 6/10 https://www.technologyreview.com/2020/04/08/998785/stop-covid-or-save-the-economy-we-can-do-both/">https://www.technologyreview.com/2020/04/0...
The scale of testing will need to be combined with robust surveillance, rapid response and contact tracing, and isolation measures to quickly contain flare ups as new cases are identified. 7/10 https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019/technical-guidance/surveillance-and-case-definitions">https://www.who.int/emergenci...
I’ve been inspired by how my university, @UW and @IHME_UW, and the local #Seattle community has responded to support those most impacted. I hope those who have capacity to give can do so to well-positioned entities within their own communities. 9/10 https://www.washington.edu/together/ ">https://www.washington.edu/together/...
And finally, taking a holistic approach to a population’s health and well-being has never been more important. I hope others are inspired to begin taking on #PopulationHealth in a more interdisciplinary, collaborative way. @UW_PHI End/ https://www.washington.edu/populationhealth/">https://www.washington.edu/populatio...
