An early-warning system for disease outbreaks and pandemics is possible with an aircraft waste-water surveillance network consisting of just 20 airports. But such an effort could be complicated by Trump's actions roiling global public health initiatives. 🧪 www.newscientist.com/article/2467...

Couple of thoughts on this - short 🧵 1) even if there are successful legal challenges to this particular change, I don’t see indirect rates of >60% coming back any time soon and universities should plan for the long term accordingly
