Highlighted by many scientists as a likely contributor, a new study now finds #climatechange has contributed to the emergence of #SARS-CoV-2, the virus which causes #COVID-19 #climatehealth https://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2021-02/uo

It's increasingly difficult for me NOT to be convinced that this is what has happened: There was a new strain of cold. Because it was new, it spread quickly. However,

There has been recent discussion of how this influenza virus mouse study that I completed as a postdoc potentially relates to current SARS-CoV-2 evolution, so I thought I would write

The PCR test currently in use is unreliable and essentially worthless..it MIGHT show a few tiny fragments of what may possibly be a novel virus, but it shows NOTHING that

Viruses change over time, particularly when acclimating to a new host. Variants increase as prevalence increases. The Great Barrington Clowns proposed letting the virus run rampant through young adults as

Genomic sequencing of viruses from the #COVID19 pandemic can help reveal transmission patterns. Thanks to data sharing through @GISAID from groups all over the world, @nextstrain is now showing 1882

I'm a scientist who studies threats like pandemics, esp how climate change accelerates risk of diseases. The next super virus is right around the corner. Read about Disease X in

Let's talk about #airborne transmission of #SARSCOV2 and other viruses. A discussion is needed to improve accuracy and reduce fear associated with the term. /1 The virus can be released

There’s a lot of fear mongering about how vaccines may not be protective against future strainsWhile this is hypothetically true, we need to put things into perspectiveFirst off you need

Viruses love to mutate. And some viruses mutate more than others. The biggest challenge for our immune system and any vaccination strategy that uses it, are viral mutations.So why did

One of the biggest mysteries of Covid-19 has been why some people become very ill, while a large number of people who are infected show no symptoms at all. It

New preprint with @TheLadybirdman @Baylism and @sio_stef describing which tissues a Rickettsia bacterium is present in within the pesky Scottish Highland midge! https://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2020.06.23.166496v1 (1/7) Rickettsia are

Antivirals approved other viruses being tested against SARS-CoV-2 in randomized controlled trials (RCT). Such drug repurposing ― testing drugs approved for other viruses ― is the logical shortcut for drug

What does science find about use of #masks ?Here is a meta-analysis:"None of the studies established a conclusive relationship between mask/respirator use and prevention of influenza transmission."https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/
