Vittoria Pirone 🇪🇺<p>Global aid funding cuts, led by the United States, are disrupting efforts to vaccinate children against deadly diseases almost as much as the COVID-19 pandemic did, the United Nations said on Thursday. Lawrence Gostin, Distinguished Professor at Georgetown University and Director of the WHO Center on Global Health Law, says that "many people will die and many will be hospitalized all because of funding cuts and disinformation".<br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Vaccines" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Vaccines</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/health" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>health</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/epidemics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>epidemics</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0GVgsT-9pQ" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">youtube.com/watch?v=U0GVgsT-9pQ</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>

John Arnold<p>_The Evening Post_, 16 April 1925:<br> WOMEN IN <br> PRINT.<br>…<br> Few people could have failed to notice the cheerfulness, not to say joviality of the youngsters as they made their way in crowds to the schools yesterday after the fours months of unbroken holiday.… “What about going back to school?” was the question asked of a group making their way to a school at <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Kelburn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Kelburn</span></a>. “It’s all right” came as a chorus, and later some young ones who go to school by ferry boat quite declined to wait till a later boat, preferring to get over early in the hope of having some time on the beach—a thing which they had much missed.… the parents were quite as cheerful… considering that all gatherings at seaside, sports, entertainments, and churches were barred. It has been necessary; but it is to be hoped that it will be quite a singular experience…, and that the terrible illness—or any other of epidemic proportions—will not visit these shores again. Medical science and research as they progress should find precautionary measures, and if immediate precautions are taken to isolate the little country so far as epidemical scourges are concerned, it is to be hoped that the experience may never be repeated.…<br><a href="https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/EP19250416.2.85" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/news</span><span class="invisible">papers/EP19250416.2.85</span></a></p><p><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OnThisDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OnThisDay</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OTD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OTD</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/PapersPast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PapersPast</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Epidemics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Epidemics</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Polio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Polio</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Schools" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Schools</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Wellington" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Wellington</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/NewZealand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NewZealand</span></a></p>

Charo del Genio<p>New paper just published.</p><p>When a pandemic occurs, a hard lockdown is an obvious and effective way to stop it. However, lockdowns come with serious societal issues. For example, during COVID-19, a critical mass of people opposing lockdowns coalesced in Britain. This was mainly due to two demographic groups, namely self-employed people, who were concerned about their own economic losses, and parents, who dreaded the prospect of having to be closed in the same home with their own kids. Seeking validation and trying to promote their own personal interests, these people became main spreaders of disinformation, eventually falling prey of state-sponsored populistic and anti-science propaganda machines.</p><p>In this study, we show that one can use optimization and control theory to introduce only light travel restrictions between macroareas, such as states or regions within a country, yielding better final results in terms of infections and economic damage than those that were actually obtained at the time.</p><p><a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0960077925002243" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">sciencedirect.com/science/arti</span><span class="invisible">cle/pii/S0960077925002243</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/mathematics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mathematics</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/physics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>physics</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/optimization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>optimization</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/control" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>control</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/epidemics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>epidemics</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/pandemics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pandemics</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/covid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>covid</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/covid19" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>covid19</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/lockdown" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lockdown</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/NPI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NPI</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/restrictions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>restrictions</span></a></p>
