https://go.nature.com/3NtcfCM

The result of the #COVIDconsensus is 41 statements and 57 recommendations across six major areas: communication, health systems, vaccination, prevention, treatment and care, and inequities - each directed at governments, #healthsystems, industry & other key stakeholders.

Thanks for sharing this study for which I was privileged to be a panelist & co-author. I think I'm the only one from BC on the paper.
Study involved scientists from more than 100 countries that reviewed the evidence and made recommendations to end the pandemic.

#COVIDConsensus

Great summary in this op-ed of the recommendations from the #covidconsensus study published in Nature. Nearly 400 public health experts around the world in a rigorous process agreeing on where we need to go at this point. Spoiler: COVID is not over. And there are plenty of things that can be done to stop the spread and keep people safe.

My take of mask study making rounds this wk: it's not changing anything I do, esp at work in hospital. Even though I have to keep sourcing my own N95s (cost I think was part of COI) I'm NOT OK w *less* protection for airborne virus, as stated in #COVIDConsensus @Nature@twitter.com study.

I attach the four pillars of safety from @whn that show that we have many choices to get there by combining different levels of those pillars--it is technology adoption.

"But we do think that COVID-19 today continues to require the vigilance of hawks and not the denial of ostriches."

@TheLemurGuy@twitter.com Agree, thanks for writing. That is why in #COVIDconsensus we call for a vaccines plus approach. It is not just about facemasks, or vaccination or both, it is also ventilation and other measures- https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-022-05398-2
