Description: The illustrations and animations in this collection are by comic artist, illustrator and writer, Toby Morris, and microbiologist and science communicator, Dr Siouxsie Wiles. They were created between March 2020 and July 2022, to support the communication of public health mitigation measures during the COVID-19 pandemic for Aotearoa New Zealand. The final animation from August 2022 relates to the Mpox virus. Many of the illustrations and animations in this collection provided messaging around, and explanations of, key concepts such as the COVID-19 “bubble”, which was introduced to ensure that any person-to-person transmission of the COVID-19 virus was limited to within a pre-defined group of people (often families living in the same household) and not allowed to spread further within the community. The collection includes eight animations by Morris and Wiles translated into te reo Māori by Hēmi Kelly. Title supplied by Library. Toby Morris is an Auckland based illustrator, comic artist and writer. He is the author of The Spinoff's non-fiction comic series 'The Side Eye', and won the Voyager award for Cartoonist of the year for 2019. Dr Siouxsie Wiles is an Associate Professor and head of the Bioluminescent Superbugs Lab at the University of Auckland. She has won numerous awards for her research and science communication efforts. Dr Wiles was named New Zealander of the Year in 2021. Morris and Wiles' collaborative work during the COVID-19 pandemic has been recognised both nationally, and internationally, including a contract with the World Health Organisation (WHO).

Description: Animation by Toby Morris and Siouxsie Wiles on virus transmission and infection during the COVID-19 pandemic in Aotearoa New Zealand. Animation shows an increasingly multiplying pattern of pink lines and dots to visualise the typical exponential growth pattern of the COVID-19 virus. It explains that “Most people will only go on to infect 1 or 2 other people” but that “ … some will infect 10, or 50, or hundreds of people. That’s a super spreader event.” Animation explains that this will most often happen in “Confined, badly ventilated spaces … with lots of people in close contacts … shouting, singing or talking loudly.” Animation recommends “Wear masks where required”, Keep track of your movements”, “Wash your hands” and “Keep your distance”. Animation is accompanied with the words “We all need to do what we can to stop more dangerous variants of the virus evolving.” Title supplied by creator. Quantity: 1 digital image(s).

Description: Animation by Toby Morris and Siouxsie Wiles on public health mitigation measures used during the COVID-19 pandemic in Aotearoa New Zealand. The animation uses the James Reason Swiss Cheese Model to explain the benefits of using multiple public health mitigation measures in combination during New Zealand’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Animation shows layers of Swiss cheese slices, each representing a single public health response measure, such as “border closures”; “Isolation for arrivals”; Rapid testing”; “Contact tracing”; Physical distancing”; and “Staying home if sick”, among others. In the animation, the holes in the cheese slices vary in size and position and represent weaknesses in a single public health response measure. The animation uses pink arrows to represent the COVID-19 virus attempting to bypass a single public health response measure, and travel through the holes (weaknesses) of each cheese slice. Where the holes align then the virus can bypass several health response measures at once, but due to the extensive layering of public health response measures (in the animation represented as Swiss cheese slices arranged vertically and in parallel to each other) the virus is prevented from infecting members of the community.

Description: Animation by Toby Morris and Siouxsie Wiles on social distancing measures used during the COVID-19 pandemic in Aotearoa New Zealand. Animation shows multiple COVID-19 “bubbles” containing families or groups of people. Each bubble is initially separated from each other but they become interlinked due to everyday social interactions such as: “Just a quick meet-up with the girlfriend”; “The kids are just gonna hang with the neighbours for a bit”; and “Just popping by to quickly help out the parents”. The animation then shows a person who “Two weeks ago had lunch with an infected person” and was subsequently infected with COVID-19. Due to the social interaction between the bubbles the COVID-19 virus is shown to easily travel across each bubble, and spread to infect others, including to a person who “has diabetes”; an “essential worker” and a person who is “over 70 years old”.

Description: Animation by Toby Morris and Siouxsie Wiles on virus transmission and infection during the COVID-19 pandemic in Aotearoa New Zealand. Animation explains that “The COVID-19 coronavirus has a 2-10 day incubation period before people get sick” and uses a series of epidemic curve graphs showing COVID-19 infection numbers on “Day one of lockdown”, “One week into lockdown”, and “Two-three weeks into lockdown” to demonstrate the latent effect of a lockdown to reduce COIVD-19 infections. Animation is accompanied with the words “It will take time to see the effects of lockdown. Stay strong and be kind.” Title supplied by creator. Quantity: 1 digital image(s).

Description: Animation by Toby Morris and Siouxsie Wiles on investigating the source of an infection during the COVID-19 pandemic in Aotearoa New Zealand. Animation shows an increasingly multiplying pattern of pink lines and dots accompanied with the text “In most other countries, tracking down the source of infection for a single case just isn’t realistic”. The animation then shows four magnifying glasses labelled “Testing”, “Contact tracing”, “Genome sequencing” and “Antibody testing” all focused on a single COVID-19 virus. The animation then explains that “as new variants arrive our systems are strong enough that we can investigate the origins of each case.” Title supplied by creator. Quantity: 1 digital image(s).

Description: Animation by Toby Morris and Siouxsie Wiles on community perspectives towards the COVID-19 pandemic in Aotearoa New Zealand. Animation shows an epidemic curve graph of the distribution of cases over time for two different perspectives towards COVID-19. The first “Whatever, it’s just like a cold or flu” approach shows an epidemic curve graph with a large spike in COVID-19 infections, with the number of infections surpassing the “Healthcare system capacity” line. The second “Don’t panic but be careful” approach, which also includes “Washing hands”, “Not touching face” and “Stay at home when sick”, shows an epidemic curve graph with only a small rise in COVID-19 infections and the epidemic curve remains below the “Healthcare system capacity” line.

Description: Animation by Toby Morris and Siouxsie Wiles on forecasting the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic in Aotearoa New Zealand. Animation shows an epidemic curve graph of the distribution of cases over time for three possible COVID-19 scenarios in New Zealand, titled “No collective response”, “Strong collective response”, and “Strong collective response (short-term only)”. The first “No collective response” scenario shows members of the public not taking any protective measures against the spread of the COVID-19 virus, and subsequently the epidemic curve shows a large spike in COVID-19 numbers surpassing the “Healthcare system capacity” line. The second “Strong collective response” scenario shows members of the public taking strong collective action, such as “working from home” and “not travelling”. The epidemic curve in this scenario only shows a small rise in COVID-19 infections, and the epidemic curve remains below the “Healthcare system capacity” line. In the third “Strong collective response (short-term only)” scenario members of the public initially take strong collective action but then reduce or limit this response as time goes on. The epidemic curve in this scenario initially only shows a small rise in COVID-19 infections but this then moves to a rapid-spread curve as time goes on, and eventually surpasses the “Healthcare system capacity” line.

So does misinformation and disinformation. When it’s exciting, it can spread even faster. And that can be deadly. So we need to critically assess information before we share it.” Title supplied by creator. Quantity: 1 digital image(s).
