Module 1 reaction

Prof. Christina Pagel wrote about Baroness Hallett's Inquiry Module 1 report that found that there was *never* a plan to keep a pandemic death toll down - and discusses this and what it means going forward in a BMJ article.

DIGITAL CONTACT tracing FOR SARS-cov-2
In March 2020 we published a proposal to slow the spread of SARS-CoV-2 (the virus causing COVID-19) by doing contact tracing digitally: using proximity-detecting mobile phone apps. Since then we—a group of scientists at Oxford University’s Nuffield Department of Medicine, mainly led by Professor Christophe Fraser—have published a variety of studies investigating this novel public health investigation further. This website provides links and summaries for our work.

"figure shows daily analysis of the relative contributions of different "settings" for epidemic spread, April 2021 - March 2022.
 
Upper = types of contact for the average person with COVID-19,
lower = COVID-19 transmissions detected by the app"
this  from X's @mishkendall

==

Household contacts (more than 8 hours per day) accounted for only 6% of contacts but 39% of transmission events,
whereas fleeting interactions (less than half an hour) accounted for 48% of contacts but only 12% of transmission events.

The repeating wave patterns show how types of contact vary by day of the week. No prizes for spotting Christmas day!"
