@RebeccaBuxton ...allllmost paid for pro to get cooler trees

I am 26 years old, I've spent 8 years as a student, and I can still only concentrate on work if I have an app growing a virtual tree when I stay off twitter.

@lilithwhittles i think that might be my primary activity for the next few months

When you reopen your draft thesis after 8 months of working on COVID-19:

PUBLICATION @BMCMedicine ➡️South Korea’s response included localised stringent social distancing, border control & "test trace isolate" ➡️Cluster investigations account for over two thirds of identified cases 👇Read more bmcmedicine.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Grateful to be part of the team with @l_cattarino, @ginacd1, Janetta Skarp, Natsuko Imai and @SRileyIDD, as well as @sangeeta0312, @mathModInf, @azraghani, Christl Donnelly, @neil_ferguson and many more from the Imperial College COVID-19 Response Team

Caution is needed in attempting to replicate South Korea's response in populations with larger more geographically widespread epidemics where finding, testing, and isolating cases that are linked to clusters may be more difficult.

Our paper examining the response to COVID-19 in South Korea is now online in @BMCMedicine rdcu.be/b8gQw. South Korea has avoided a large COVID-19 epidemic and has retained the ability to maintain case-based or cluster-based interventions. Couple of highlights below.

And now, research on the *other* coronavirus: T-cell tests point to undetected #MERS in Nigerian abattoir workers ow.ly/xgDb50BMtzc

interesting and important questions to be answered with great people!
