(1/7) Important prospective study of household transmission by CDC, suggesting children and adults are similarly likely to transmit #SARSCoV2. The household secondary attack rate was at least 35%, and 18%

COVID (@UCSanDiego) Chronicles April 13 - now 23 patients hospitalized @UCSDHealth (9 on vents); 92 #SARSCoV2 tests yesterday and 9 (9.8%) positive; significant in rate likely due to

Thank you Thomas! 1) children are underrepresented in current studies due to asymptomatic/mild disease that`s missed in symptomatic screening - true extend of susceptibility & transmission compared to adults not

1/ @BallouxFrancois - I am curious if you have examined other aspects of the 1889 Russian flu pandemic, which you mentioned here. There are several similarities to #SARSCoV2 which I

This is a result that many hoped. Today the @NEJM published a small cohort study on the compassionate use of Remdesivir for severe #COVID19 patients in ICU under mechanical ventilation

The “OMG, #COVID19 can cause long-term illness, possibly long-term disability, who knew such a horrible thing was possible?” articles stir in me so many mixed emotions. I feel sorry for

New preprint We deep seq’d #SARSCoV2 and found within-host diversity is limited and rarely transmitted & transmission bottlenecks are narrow → slows the pace of #VOC emergence in *acute*

Reading this article (in which I'm quoted near the end), I realized why I have such a strong visceral reaction to some of the negative coverage of @ProfEmilyOster's work on

New higher R0 from CDC reanalysis... it’s a 5.7!(95% Confidence Interval: 3.8–8.9). Wowzers. This much higher #SARSCoV2 R0 value carries lot of implications for vaccines and treatments and containment measures

Cloaking trick: new worrisome study finds #SARSCoV2 removes molecules used to identify invaders. Normally, MHC samples & brings molecules from inside a cell to cell surface - if foreign,

BREAKING—First ever official re-infection case of #COVID19 documented. Research team from @hkumed report the first reinfection in press release. Patient reinfected by a completely separate strain of #SARSCoV2 from original,
