1. I hope Professor Marr won’t object to me sharing some of her excellent work, but the UK has just sent 10.8 million students, 500k teachers & tens of thousands

Very interesting piece by the @nytimes in regards to SARS-CoV-2 surveillance, or lack thereof, in the U.S. Having been involved in sequencing SARS-CoV-2 among the population, I had a few

Do some people have cross-reactive antibodies to #SARSCoV2? If so, who are they? And are these cross-reactive Abs protective against #COVID19? A fascinating study by @KevinWNg et al provides answers.

But I will note that mutations happen all the time. The more infections, the more opportunities to explore the the space of possible mutations. Basically you wouldn't have expected this

I know I am all over the place today but my 2 favorite COVID-19 topics are masking & immunity. Today good day for masking & here is another study (super

The Pfizer/Moderna COVID19 vaccines are mRNA vaccines.What is mRNA? All cells have DNA (in chromosomes). Think of DNA as a cookbook with the directions for your cell to make what

Did the new SARS-CoV-2 B.1.1.7 lineage spread during the English national lockdown? Rising numbers and estimated higher R value suggest so. Together with our colleagues from COG-UK we took a

1/ It’s been a big week in #covid19 news: Pfzier-BioNTech’s SARS-CoV-2 vaccine got the official FDA EUA green light and the first UK patients got vaccinated. Let’s break down what

Why would we think that children don't get infected and transmit SARS-COV-2? Given the challenge of conducting these studies and the potential for bias due to the differential social disruption

SAGE is using a figure of 1% false positive results. I think it is a little lower ~0.8% for Pillar 2. False positives are a function of the population tested

There is an incredibly stupid and and anti-science myth that is circulating around- that there is no immunity post-infection to Covid. Here's a few papers I've read and the summary

1/ This paper is the first significant evidence that recent infection with a common cold coronavirus could have a functional cross protective effect against severe COVID-19. “Recent endemic coronavirus infection

The J&J vaccine reportedly confers 85% protection after 1 month. Some suggest this could be improved with a booster. About that...J&J vaccine uses a replication-incompetent adenovirus (Ad26) to deliver the

A few thoughts about this preprint claiming that SARS-COV-2 is reverse-transcribed into human genome (1/7)https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.12.12.422516v1 The human/viral chimeric reads that the authors detect in RNAseq dataset d
