Metabiota: Global Disease Outbreak Tracker

(15 March 2021) At the very beginning of 2020, the novel coronavirus infection hit the world. Metabiota’s early warning system, however, had already detected the first signs of COVID-19 in late 2019. By early January, Metabiota’s team of digital surveillance experts and epidemiologists were collecting, cleaning, and structuring data on suspected, probable, and confirmed cases and deaths from dozens of different sources into a composite, best-in-class dataset. In a few months, the COVID-19 pandemic had spread around the globe, and after one year, the disease had claimed the lives of more than 2 million people.  Metabiota's data allows for comparison of COVID-19 directly with other epidemic events — current and historical.Data on disease outbreaks collected by Metabiota shows that case fatality rates from Ebola and yellow fever outbreaks in 2020 exceed the death rate from COVID-19 by 8 to 20 times. Thirty-seven percent of Ebola cases in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and over 40% of yellow fever cases in Nigeria were fatal, compared just to 2–5% of COVID-19 cases globally. Metabiota has been providing this high-accuracy, up-to-date data throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as on nearly every other epidemic event in recent years, including Ebola and yellow fever (represented below).  At any given time, the Metabiota team is structuring data on approximately ten unfolding events. This near-real-time data is continuously added to Metabiota’s historical database of infectious disease events—the most comprehensive data repository of its kind in existence. Note: The true case fatality ratio may be lower due to underreporting of cases. Case fatality ratios may vary substantially during an event, especially during the first few months of the event.

140th WHO Executive Board Session //knoema.de/peggcvf/140th-who-executive-board-session 2019-01-09T13:33:33Z Mikhail Zhukovskii knoema.de://knoema.de/user/1293430
140th WHO Executive Board Session

The 140th World Health Organization Executive Board is composed of 34 individuals technically qualified in the field of health, each one designated by a Member State elected to do so by the World Health Assembly. Member States are elected for three-year terms. The Board meets at least twice a year; the main meeting is normally in January, with a second shorter meeting in May, immediately after the Health Assembly. The main functions of the Executive Board are to give effect to the decisions and policies of the Health Assembly, to advise it and generally to facilitate its work. WHO works throught the followin areas: Health systems WHO’s priority in the area of health systems is moving towards universal health coverage. WHO works together with policy-makers, global health partners, civil society, academia and the private sector to support countries to develop, implement and monitor solid national health plans. In addition, WHO supports countries to assure the availability of equitable integrated people-centred health services at an affordable price; facilitate access to affordable, safe and effective health technologies; and to strengthen health information systems and evidence-based policy-making. Noncommunicable diseases Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), including heart disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes and chronic lung disease, and mental health conditions - together with violence and injuries - are collectively responsible for more than 70% of all deaths worldwide. Eight out of 10 of these deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries. The consequences of these diseases reach beyond the health sector and solutions require more than a system that prevents and treats disease. Promoting health through the life-course Promoting good health through the life-course cuts across all work done by WHO, and takes into account the need to address environment risks and social determinants of health, as well as gender, equity and human rights. The work in this biennium has a crucial focus on finishing the agenda of the Millennium Development Goals and reducing disparities between and within countries. Communicable diseases WHO is working with countries to increase and sustain access to prevention, treatment and care for HIV, tuberculosis,malaria and neglected tropical diseases and to reduce vaccine-preventable diseases. MDG 6 (combat HIV/AIDS,malaria and other diseases) has driven remarkable progress but much work remains. Preparedness, surveillance and response During emergencies, WHO’s operational role includes leading and coordinating the health response in support of countries, undertaking risk assessments, identifying priorities and setting strategies, providing critical technical guidance, supplies and financial resources as well as monitoring the health situation. WHO also helps countries to strengthen their national core capacities for emergency risk management to prevent, prepare for, respond to, and recover from emergencies due to any hazard that pose a threat to human health security. Corporate services Corporate services provide the enabling functions, tools and resources that makes all of this work possible. For example, corporate services encompasses governing bodies convening Member States for policymaking, the legal team advising during the development of international treaties, communications staff helping disseminate health information, human resources bringing in some of the world’s best public health experts or building services providing the space and the tools for around 7000 staff to perform their work in 1 of WHO’s more than 150 offices. Date of Event: 24 January – 1 February 2019 Location: Geneva, Switzerland

Ebola Situation Update

In general, there are improvements in Ebola case finding, burial practices and community engagement. Nevertheless, the decline in case incidence has stopped. The increase in number of cases in Guinea and widespread transmission of Ebola in Sierra Leone highlight a significant problem, which should be solved in order to lower case incidence to zero. The first week of February 2015 ended with 144 new cases. Guinea reported a sharp increase in case incidence: there were 65 new confirmed cases compared to 39 cases reported the week before. Sierra Leone continues suffering from widespread transmission of Ebola virus: they reported 76 new confirmed cases. Liberia, on the other hand, reported a lower number of new confirmed cases compared to other African countries.

Ebola Statistical Report, 2015

   Ebola virus disease (EVD), formerly known as Ebola haemorrhagic fever, is a severe, often fatal illness in humans. The virus is transmitted to people from wild animals and spreads in the human population through human-to-human transmission. The average EVD case fatality rate is around 50%. Case fatality rates have varied from 25% to 90% in past outbreaks. Ebola virus disease (EVD) first appeared in 1976 in 2 simultaneous outbreaks, one in Nzara, Sudan, and the other in Yambuku, Democratic Republic of Congo. The latter occurred in a village near the Ebola River, from which the disease takes its name.The virus family Filoviridae includes three genera: Cuevavirus, Marburgvirus, and Ebolavirus. There are five species that have been identified: Zaire, Bundibugyo, Sudan, Reston and Taï Forest. The first three, Bundibugyo ebolavirus, Zaire ebolavirus, and Sudan ebolavirus have been associated with large outbreaks in Africa. The virus causing the 2014 West African outbreak belongs to the Zaire species.     The current outbreak in West Africa, (first cases notified in March 2014), is the largest and most complex Ebola outbreak since the Ebola virus was first discovered in 1976. There have been more cases and deaths in this outbreak than all others combined. It has also spread between countries starting in Guinea then spreading across land borders to Sierra Leone and Liberia, by air (1 traveller) to Nigeria and USA (1 traveller), and by land to Senegal (1 traveller) and Mali (2 travellers). The most severely affected countries, Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone, have very weak health systems, lack human and infrastructural resources, and have only recently emerged from long periods of conflict and instability.  Source: Ebola Statistical Report, 2015
