BREAKING: Surge testing confirmed in some Bristol postcodes due to the new Covid mutation. Testing to take place over the next two weeks. The list includes postcodes within BS1, BS2,

Here’s 10 reasons why this “push to reopen early” is utterly insane.1. MUTATION2.MUTATION - unmitigated spread + partially vaccinated pop. = inevitable resistant COVID variant. 3. GODDAMN MUTATION FFS4. Long

I understand what Dr. Frieden is trying to say here but this makes it sound like vaccines will drive the emergence of new variants and compel the virus to mutate

Hilary Abernathay. Some #Covid19 & #Nexit for all?

Excuse the following:WE ARE VERY LUCKY THE ONLY EFFECT OF THIS MUTATION IS HIGHER RATES OF TRANSMISSION.Because it could have been much worse, it could make the new vaccines redundant.Who

A thread on variants for non scientists - what are they, why do they happen, what does it mean for the pandemic? 1/7 Very simply - variants are what happens

B1.1.7 has more than 20 changes in genetic code, of which 8 are in the Spike protein (shown below). Spike is the target of many of our immune and vaccine

Pfizer study shows vaccine should work against this B.1.1.7 UK and South Africa variant of SARS-CoV-2. mRNA sequence in Pfizer vaccine likely propietary but Pfizer took a virus with the

1/The UK #SARSCoV2 variant reported to be 70% more transmissible harbors a set of mutations in the Spike protein––the part of the virus that touches the human ACE2 receptor and

Merry Christmas! The latest focal S:N501 build is now up.Zooming in on 20B/501Y.V1 (SE England variant), we can see new sequences in Europe from the Netherlands.1/4#Newcoronavirusvariant #SARSCoV2 #ChristmasCovid https://nextstrain.org/gro

Let me attempt to explain why I believe that Big Pharma’s push for monoclonal antibody treatments may have played a role in the development of the more contagious B.1.1.7 coronavirus

Correlation isn't causation. Increased detection of #COVID19 Variant Under Investigation (VUI-202012/01) is occurring at same time as a general surge in coronavirus infections in UK. IMO it's premature to claim

WORRISOME—#COVID19 mutation becomes more concerning. The coronavirus can mutate swiftly in one person’s body. New case study: #SARSCoV2 “resurged again & again in the body of an infected man, eventually

We previously analysed recurrent #SARSCoV2 mutations for an association with increased transmission using ~47k genomes. At the time, we found no evidence for any mutation making the virus intrinsically more

We're all used to the fact that @BorisJohnson has failed utterly to handle the pandemic, but some stats still shock. Here's mine today - China has recorded 3 deaths per
