The co-authors were Lawrence Page and Sergey Brin, and the "large-scale hypertextual web search-engine" they were describing was their new project, which they called "#Google." They were 100% correct - prescient, even! 3/

Worth reading again. The #Swisscheese model is a guide for our strategy to quell #covid19 & other pandemics (#monkeypox?)
No single intervention is perfect.
Each layer may have holes.
But the pile will provide.
Pick well your pile!

With @cc_martell and @DanielRhysThom1, I wrote a perspective piece on social media for (field) epidemiologists #SoMe4epi

@THLorg @rki_de @PublicHealthW @ECDC_EU #EPIET #WorldFieldEpidemiologyDay
We reflect on social media/@Twitter for epidemiologists working on the #COVID19 response

We introduce the field of social media to those not currently using social media in their public health practice:

So please share outside of the Twitterverse as well!

#SoMe4epi #OpenAccess
Why this piece?

🌍 #COVID19 is the 1st pandemic in the social media age

Wuhan implemented the #SwissCheeseModel model using multi-faceted interventions to suppress the outbreak by dropping the R value from 3.5 before intervention=> 0.1 in 6 wks => zero confirmed cases in 7.5 wks. Effective implementation & high compliance(1/)

The multi-faceted intervention Swiss cheese slices used in Wuhan include: mask wearing, social distancing(lockdown), testing, tracing, isolation and quarantine, and universal screening. They were implemented with high compliance. Students have been back to school since September
The tweet in April about multi-faceted interventions.

Let’s talk about the “Swiss cheese model” of combatting the COVID-19 pandemic. This is a classic conceptualization of how to cope with hazards, and it powerfully illustrates several features of what we are facing in the pandemic. #SwissCheeseModel (Image h/t @MackayIM) 1/
What is required to stop the spread of a pathogen like SARS-CoV-2 is achieving some kind of (minimum) threshold level of response sufficient to achieve a deflection in the trajectory of the epidemic, to bring it under control. 2/
A combination of “contact reduction” interventions (eg, school closures, gathering bans) and “transmission reduction” interventions (eg, handwashing, masking) is required. These are “non-pharmaceutical interventions” (NPI), in contrast to things like medicines and vaccines. 3/
