I am neither an expert in virology nor mathematics, but my extrapolation from the case doubling rates is that you are now *12 times* more likely to test positive for

I was grateful for the opportunity to speak to @AppgCoronavirus this morning.I mentioned many types of data, but I need to clarify that I mis-spoke when I referred to recent

Another study demonstrating long lasting immunity to COVID-19 after infection. Remember, the immunity conferred by the vaccine is twice as powerful and more targeted than natural immunity.https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronaviru

This week @US_FDA called for confirmed infection (+-symptoms) as a primary or secondary endpoint in #SARSCoV2 #vaccine trials. Last year @rebeccajk13 @Steve_Bellan Rui Wang and Matt HItchings we recently proposed

@nytimes, you keep making the same mistake, + you refuse to correct, no matter how many times I write the editors:You can’t compare test positivity to confirmed cases per population.

UK variant update:50% more contagious and the main difference is in the rate of infection in children up to the age of 9.No significant difference found yet in clinical course,

My approach: 1) what are the (relative) effects of Plex on important outcomes? You might have to trust me on this but... Neutral on mortality, large relative reduction on kidney

A thread on vaccines that induce a better and more efficient long-lasting immunity. It is a misunderstanding often brought up that natural infection induces a better immune response than a

Researchers are looking at whether a nasal rinse - like a Netti Pot - can reduce COVID-19 virus in the nasal passages and lower chances it moves en masse to
