Very frustrating to see Dr. Dean's work getting attacked from all sides: completely unqualified pundits like Lahren & Martin as well as scientists with no experience in epi or meta-analyses

1/ So I found out this garbage meta-analysis is apparently being shared all over the place. I decided to take a look at the studies they cited as evidence that

For all the people that’ve been cleaning their groceries, opening door handles with lysol wipes etc, let’s look at the evidence for the fomite transmission of COVID-19 (& asymptomatic transmission

Do asymptomatics/presymptomatics transmit #COVID19 disease? Let’s analyse the preprint systematic review including 19 studies focusing on TRULY asymptomatic/presymptomatic. https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.09.01.20135194v2 1/n

The CDC has been combining asymptomatic (people who never get sick) & presymptomatic (also called prodromal - non specific symptoms like muscle aches & fatigue) in every study they have

Data is overwhelming – lockdowns don´t work.But, why is that? The concept, in theory, is striking – if we reduce our contacts, we reduce viral spread. This is a no-brainer,

Covid is HIGHLY contagious for only 3-5 days, and usually 1-2 of those days are PREsymptomaticTherefore, routine screening [even before or without symptoms] is critical to breaking chains of transmission1/

SARS-CoV-2 infection in patients that don't have symptoms. It's complicated. A thread. Data suggest that viral load does start to increase and is maximal slightly before the onset of symptoms,

Super excited to announce our COVID wearables paper that came out online in @natBME today! We show that consumer #Wearables can be used to detect #COVID19 at a #presymptomatic stage.
