Your data impacts public health. 🤧 One of the best ways to help keep people safe is tracking and reporting outbreaks. You can do just that with @OutbreaksNearMe. Regularly report "Healthy, thanks" or "Not feeling well" through email or text. scistarter.org/outbreaks-nea…

There’s unfortunately still no way to officially report the results of your covid home tests in NYC. But now you can report results and symptoms (for flu too) and see trends in your area, at outbreaksnearme.org. Crowdsourcing project by epidemiologists at @BostonChildrens. – at Manhattan, NY

Our new study in @PNASNews led by @gleech & @Charlie_R_S Significant benefits of masking in reducing transmission globally (across 92 regions; n>20M) Minimal evidence that mandates increased mask wearing. Need community buy-in and novel interventions to increase masking.

How well do masks work against Covid at the population level? In our new paper, we find mask-wearing corresponded to an international average 19% decrease in transmission (Rt). (On average, 83% reported wearing some mask most of the time in public.) doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2119266…
