A great summary of what we know about #SARSCoV2 virology, transmission and pathogenesis so far. Well done @mugecevik and team. š twitter.com/bmj_latest/staā¦
Enough with the "new normal"! Realism and sustainability are important, but people also need to know that this pandemic will end, just as all other pandemics have. Despair is not an effective public health strategy.
Earlier this week, I tweeted that the headlines around the antibody study from the UK were misleading, and that the study doesn't actually suggest that immunity is waning.

A new article in @bmj_latest looks at what we currently know about SARS-CoV-2. NHS Scotland staff and the public are part of global efforts to understand and find new treatments for #COVID19.

Thank you Toni, and thanks for your input, peer-review greatly improved our article!

If you want an outline of what we have actually learnt about #SARSCoV2 since it emerged, how it spreads and causes disease, this new review by @mugecevik, @KrutikaKuppalli, @KindrachukJason and Malik Peiris is an excellent place to start.

Since the emergence of SARS-CoV-2, there has been an unparalleled global effort to characterise the virus and the clinical course of disease. What do we know about the pathophysiology of the virus so far?

Great article by @zeynep with comments from @mugecevik
The #COVID19 pandemic is overdispersed, meaning a relatively small number of people spread it in clusters. R0 doesn't capture this behavior.

The heterogeneity of spread is baffling but makes me hopeful that, with the right measures, we can effectively drive down transmission with less collateral damage.
Fortunately, itās not just a binary choice between ālet it ripā & āharsh lockdowns.ā twitter.com/mugecevik/statā¦
Among other things, the covid19 pandemic has highlighted issues of ethnic and socioeconomic inequalities, intergenerational injustice, political polarisation and biomedicalisation of public health
Here's one idea for reducing pandemic fatigue: give people a break. Open all the parks, playgrounds, beaches. Let kids trick-or-treat. Allow outdoor sports. Let people enjoy low-risk environments so they can conserve energy for where it really matters. theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/ā¦

Quick thread on latest @ONS infection survey data, which is very informative!
FYI: the survey involves mass random population testing for #COVID19 in England and Wales, so is not biased by symptoms/test seeking - so very useful indeed!

š§µ I never saw a future that I'd be sad to see my article published in @TheLancet. But in many ways this feels too late.
When the original paper came out in May, my coauthors and I were stunned. 1/

The answer lies in the tedious, complex business of basic public health, writes the FT's @timharford

Understanding the unmet needs and providing resources to address them should be the guiding principle of COVID19 response.

I think ONS data shows that figure, but it reports symptoms on the day of testing w no follow-up & majority will develop symptoms. There are several issues with studies estimating %asymptomatic,which we summarised in this paper, now accepted in Lancet ID. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfā¦

We are all in the same storm, but not in the same boat. Those in positions of privilege who lecture the vulnerable on the need to obey the rules need to understand that the cost of isolation, even imposed for good reason, isn't the same to everyone.

Note for the future: don't fixate on outbreaks, recognise that the central issues are social determinants and adequate and accessible healthcare and public health. Nothing surprising, but something that requires a more fundamental change than stockpiling drugs, equipment etc
This is a really great paper. This is a clear diagram on timing of infectiousness. twitter.com/mugecevik/statā¦ pic.twitter.com/IkcKKUGF36
Individual-level differences are expected and (*) footnote indicates this. This graph is based on our SR, we included a section about viable virus (medrxiv.org/content/10.110ā¦), and contact tracing evidence of pre-symptomatic transmission exists (medrxiv.org/content/10.110ā¦). pic.twitter.com/J90qwhT6nS
This thread is such a clear, accessible summary of what we know now about transmission and how to reduce risk. Helpful for informing personal decisions (e.g., outside is way safer than inside, avoid dining with others) and to push for better public health policy! @CAPublicHealth twitter.com/mugecevik/statā¦
To me, "normal" feels like a code word for joy, pleasure, ease, social connection. We should be helping people find those things now, not telling them they'll never have them again.
How can we design smart targeted policies to alleviate tradeoffs between health and economic outcomes?
This type of empirical evidence is exactly what we need!
The other building block needs to be estimates of different policies' effects on people's economic welfare. twitter.com/mugecevik/statā¦

It will still depend on participation in the study but I donāt know the # of participants & representation in each quantile.
Could this figure also reflect avoidance of testing in high risk populations due to job insecurity/lack of financial support?
The most common reasons were: to go to the shops for groceries/pharmacy (18.2%); because oneās symptoms
got better (15.6%); and to go out for a medical need other than COVID-19 (14.9%). Ppl still need food and care. Other countries provide all necessary needs during isolation.
I know! We need to communicate the reasons why many people couldnāt manage to self isolate - otherwise again public will be blamed. Supported isolation should be the norm.
There are many things in play here. In the results non adherence was associated with lower socioeconomic grade, having a dependent child, being a key worker, having hardship & being less informed about the sx. Ppl need support not fines to isolate twitter.com/mugecevik/statā¦
Great thread on the limits of understanding around #COVID19 and our response. I would add that we are still not seeing anywhere near enough community participation in planning, tailoring, and debating the response. The uncertainty makes this even more urgent 1/2 twitter.com/Graham_P_Martiā¦
True asymptomatic cases may account for about 20% of SARS-CoV-2 #infections. This estimate is based on a new review #study in @PLOSMedicine by researchers of the @ISPMBern. #unibern #COVID19 #Corona @dianacarbg @nicolamlow
Really useful thread. (Via @Harkaway.) To use a road safety metaphor: you'd be wise to respect the government's tiresome speed limits and traffic signs. But it's knowledge like this that will actually make you a safe driver on the dangerous roads ahead. twitter.com/mugecevik/statā¦
