With new analyses showing lower severity for Omicron cases, what will this mean for our projections? Well obviously this will tend to bring the numbers lower, which is great — but I want to clear up a few misconceptions.
Dr Rosanna C Barnard (she/her)@BarnardResearch

The B.1.1.529 SARS-CoV-2 variant was first reported on 24th November 2021, and 2 days later @WHO designated it #Omicron. Since then we (me @_nickdavies @cap1024 @markjit and John Edmunds) have worked to understand potential consequences for England. 🧵 [cmmid.github.io/topics/covid19…]

At least I didn't have to worry about falling down the steps this time. #LSHTMGrad

I wrote for The @Guardian on how our perception of the pandemic is shaped in part by how likely we are to know someone who has died from Covid, and how this grief is unevenly distributed: theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Late last week, it was announced that a new variant of SARS-CoV-2 (VOC 202012/01) was detected and appeared to be spreading rapidly in the south east of England. We analysed the transmissibility and severity of this new variant. [cmmid.github.io/topics/covid19…] NOT PEER REVIEWED 1/9

Surveys using antibody tests suggest that fewer people may have already been infected with SARS-CoV-2 than was previously thought. But the presence or absence of antibodies is far from the full story. Here’s why: bit.ly/3iAQktg

An EXCELLENT thread by Dr. Krammer that breaks down some really complex immunology really clearly and sheds some light on the whole "decaying antibodies" discussion that's currently going around.
Florian Krammer@florian_krammer

1) There is a lot of talk about decaying antibodies. I would like to walk you through a few findings about antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 that we put on medRxiv on Friday. Ill do this slowly over the day (while being in nonstop conference calls). But I feel this needs to get out there.

"For every one excess #COVID19 death attributable to SARS-CoV-2 infections acquired during routine vaccination clinic visits, 84 deaths in children could be prevented" through routine immunization. Key findings from @LancetGH's benefit–risk analysis: bit.ly/3fGfi8K
