The only thing I am sure of is that omicron will spread so quickly through the population, making it likely impossible to contain even with the most stringent measures & giving us very little time over the next few weeks. So get your vaccines & boosters! https://t.co/NUGSb1ndT7

[Muge Cevik @mugecevik]

For those asking whether this is good/bad news, simple answer: I don't know. While omicron may infect the lung cells less efficiently, a higher viral load may worsen immune response. We discussed the pathogenesis w/

[Muge Cevik @mugecevik]

Lay summary: These results indicate inherent transmissibility & replication advantage of Omicron (in addition to immune evasion) compared to delta. It also explains why it spreads quickly and outcompeted delta in SA, which fits w/ modelling assumptions.

Important to note that first study is an ex vivo work, meaning that human tissue is used to look at virus replication in the lab. So, this is not a definitive but supportive finding & needs to be confirmed by clinical data as host immune response is absent in these studies.

[Muge Cevik @mugecevik]

These preliminary laboratory analyses indicate that;
📍Omicron is significantly more transmissible than delta
📍Less efficient replication in the lungs may suggest lower severity, but severity in humans is not determined only by virus replication but also the host immune response

[Muge Cevik @mugecevik]

In this ex vivo study (press release), Michael Chan, Malik Peiris & John Nicholls et al. @hkumed show that at 24h after infection Omicron replicated ~70x faster than Delta in bronchus. Interestingly, it replicated ~10x less efficiently in the lung tissue. https://t.co/FKOdxpIuv1/

We have a HUGE raffle going on!

To raise funds for diplomas for students, we’re giving a MEGA 52 free lessons, that’s a whole year of weekly lessons!

So far we’ve raised enough for 8 diplomas, but there’s still tickets available before we choose a winner on 1st September!

NEW: a common response to reports of hospitals struggling this winter is "it’s no different to a bad flu season!"

I’ve tracked down historical data on flu ICU admissions, including winter 2017-18, a record high.

Here’s how England’s Covid winter compares to a bad flu season 📹

@nottmtails Get well soon!

[Andrew Rowe @AndyRowe7]

It's actually very interesting not having a crowd at the CG as you can hear the amount of instruction going out to the players. Hughton bellowing. #nffc

Absolutely disgusting @asda @AsdaServiceTeam that I open a packet of raspberries to find a dead wasp in them.... #ASDA #CustomerService

[Andrew Rowe @AndyRowe7]

@AsdaServiceTeam I would have thought that the pictures alone would be sufficient for a refund. It's disgusting.

This is why #COVID2019 is a big deal, irrespective of how old you are or if you have an underlying illness....

I am living with #LongCOVID. I am experiencing multi-dimensional and episodic disability, across all dimensions of disability. My primary symptom is fatigue & post-exertion malaise. Along with other symptoms. I want to describe the nature & extent of disability I experience.

BREAKING: Nottingham now has the highest coronavirus infection rate in England. More to follow
