We estimated that:
- Burden flu and COVID in SG were in a comparable range and about 3-4 times higher than RSV.
- Peak seasonal flu is now 3-8 weeks later as compared to pre-COVID
- Flu positivity didn't return to pre-COVID levels

Are superspreaders always social butterflies? 🦋🦠
Our new study on temporal social contacts showed most people are highly connected only for brief periods. Crucially, this challenges the idea that respi outbreaks naturally subside once highly connected people becomes immune.

Temporal contact patterns and the implications for predicting superspreaders and planning of targeted outbreak control | Journal of The Royal Society Interface
Directly transmitted infectious diseases spread through social contacts that change over time, but outbreak models typically make simplifying assumptions about network structure and dynamics. To assess how common assumptions relate to real-world ...

Am finally here on Bluesky with @rachaelpung as my handle (no more @PungRachael). As my first post, here's a recent piece with @adamjkucharski.bsky.social on planning for a more sustainable distribution of modelling work between government and academia doi.org/10.1016/j.ep...
