Suggestions on how to deal with Vaccine Hesitancy: Can We Talk?

Tue, 2020-12-29 20:08 — mike kraft

.... Public health officials stress that the COVID-19 vaccines will provide the best hope for returning to “normal.” Yet, a recent study from Kaiser Family Foundation revealed one-quarter of the population “probably or definitely would not take the coronavirus vaccine.”

Much is at stake. For life to return to anything approaching normal, 75% of the population must be immunized. If enough people avoid the vaccine, COVID-19 transmission will continue. Honest, fact-based conversations about the vaccine among family and close friends have an urgency that strikes close to the heart. Since some conversations are likely to be emotionally charged, it’s important to be able to communicate and listen actively. You’ll need to understand your own feelings about the issues, and also deal with someone else’s strong feelings — all while being able to think clearly and stay focused — basic psychoanalytic technique!

Wed, 2020-12-23 17:46 — mike kraft

What the data say about border closures and COVID spread Models estimate that travel restrictions worked early in the pandemic, but became less effective throughout the year. Smriti Mallapaty nature

As countries in Europe rush to close their borders to the United Kingdom to prevent transmission of a new — and potentially more transmissible — variant of SARS-CoV-2, research has estimated the effect of international travel restrictions on COVID-19 spread earlier in the pandemic.

African malaria deaths set to dwarf covid-19 fatalities as pandemic hits control efforts, WHO warns

Fri, 2020-12-04 12:39 — mike kraft

African malaria deaths set to dwarf covid-19 fatalities as pandemic hits control efforts, WHO warns Excess malaria deaths caused by pandemic driven shortfalls in prevention and treatment efforts will probably dwarf direct deaths from covid-19 in sub-Saharan Africa, the World Health Organization has warned. Progress against malaria—dramatic in the first decade of this century—had already stalled since 2016 as foreign donors drifted away. But 2020 is likely to be the first year in decades to see an increase in deaths, WHO warned in its 2020 World Malaria Report.1 About 1.5 billion malaria cases and 7.6 million deaths have been averted since 2000, WHO estimates.

What remains is a continuing mystery about what causes certain people to die from Covid-19, and how best to prevent that.
