Why don't we have a vaccine for SARS? MERS? HIV? These viruses have been around longer than SARS-CoV-2. A mini-thread to provide some perspective and even a little dose of

Thread on the new strain of SARS2 in the UK.It's more than just a single mutation: 14 non-synonymous changes and several deletions.https://virological.org/t/preliminary-genomic-characterisation-of-an-emergent-sars-cov-2-lineage-in-the-u

An updated version of our manuscript on antibody cross-reactivity between seasonal coronaviruses and SARS-CoV-2 is now online:https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.05.14.095414v2 Plenty of new data in this version, including a proper

I don’t agree with the lab hypotheses at the end of the article but the first part walks a layperson through how likely it is for a SARS virus to

With all respect for the authors, I think this is an extremely poor paper. The good thing is, I also think it's actually very easy to disprove. A few thoughts

Over the past nine months I've written occasionally about the prospects for the SARS-CoV-2 virus to evolve into a less (or more) virulent form. In general, we can't count on

Our new paper showing that some humans possessed non-neutralizing antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 prior to the COVID-19 pandemic is now up at @medrxivpreprint. Importantly, we find that these antibodies are not

We are all being held to ransom over the fraudulent use of the PCR test. This is criminal. Lives and livelihoods are being destroyed under false pretences.A short thread........1/n 2/nThis

THREAD: There’s a lot to unwrap here. Basically in 2003 during the SARS outbreak there was a elder home in British Columbia which had an outbreak of a coronavirus. 1/https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2095096/

1) STUDY: two mutations in SARS-2 are correlated with higher fatality: analysis of 12K SARS-2 genomes identified mutation in ORF1ab protein (aids in RNA replication) and mutation in Spike protein

Very intriguing - SARS-CoV-2 pre-existing immune reactivity might exists to some degree in the general population (maybe 20-50%?). It is speculated, but not yet proven, that this might be due

So this is something you hear trotted out a lot and it’s a bit of a lazy stereotype, with the examples usually being highly pathogenic viruses that are poorly adapted

Very interesting study regarding kids, flu vaccine & covid, and also viral interference -- covid "outcompeting the flu." 1/4: "Researchers looked at medical records of 905 children who tested positive

There is a flat out lie about COVID deaths circulating today saying we have switched the measure overnight to using 60-days. We have been reporting on both 60 and 28

10 months into the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, what we have learned1.SARS-CoV-2 is not only emergent virus we have to concern about.2.SARS-CoV-2 is going to be circulating and stay with us forever.3.I
