A first case of #COVID19 reinfection from HKU, with distinct virus genome sequences in 1st and 2nd infection (142 days apart). Kudos to the scientists for this study.
This is no cause for alarm - this is a textbook example of how immunity should work.

Because everyone with PhD (or even not) is now becoming virologist and immunologist, I recommend everyone reads this piece, written by actual experts in virology and immunology || Scared That Covid-19 Immunity Won’t Last? Don’t Be https://t.co/YoF5QbRKGf
I'm still not quite sure how to science twitter but I just want to say that I recently joined Rich Daneman's lab to begin my PhD thesis and I'm really stoked about it. That is all.
Biologic & disease processes need to be viewed from an age perspective. How does your favorite gene change with age? check out Tabula Muris Senis and this App combining sc and bulkRNAseq across 10 ages https://t.co/CCljE3npfS in https://t.co/NMjKBrmpjG and https://t.co/DipHgHYE1L
Congrats to Dr. Steven Dowdy, who plans to develop a new, and hopefully more effective, way of delivering a genetic medicine called siRNA into the lungs of patients with #COVID19
Another stat that amazes me: Immigrants have been awarded nearly 40% of the Nobel Prizes won by Americans in Chemistry, Medicine, and Physics since 2000.
Making the US a lot less welcoming to international students will make the US less creative.

Your reminder that taxpayers gave United $5 billion. Now it's sending layoff warnings to 36,000, nearly half of all employees. I'd like to know how much of the $5 billion was used to buy back United shares and how much went into exec pay.
