The amazing @DrSamiraJeimy and I collaborated on a post because we are both tired of seeing the term ‘immunity debt’ being thrown around.

We also get into why we are seeing a record number of pediatric hospitalizations, so stick with us.

Viral colonization in lower respiratory tract elicits strong immune response and thus sever immune-mediated disease and prompt self-quarantine or hospitalization. Upper respiratory tract is more permissive and allows easier viral release: why omicron spreads faster than delta.

We offer new guidelines and a quantitative tool for considering prioritization of vaccination for Scandinavian and other countries with comparable demographies, public health infrastructure and relatively lower infection-fatality ratios.

A key contribution to laying down an open-source fundamental framework to tackle pandemics in modern times. We point to the transition in age-structure of the risk from virgin epidemic to endemic equilibrium, with the young at the highest rates of infection.

There are several reasons to think that the new UK #SARSCoV2 variant is an important one as it might be more contagious than other variants, but there are also some uncertainties. So much misinformation is being circulated, so this thread brings key data together. 🧵

This is an incredible paper, not just for what it does - tackle the big question of what drives corona loss of immunity - but also for how clearly it puts it in context: https://t.co/EJPAqOMvJq

With @mlipsitch, our new piece in @ScienceMagazine on the open questions that may remain even after vaccine efficacy trials are completed. How well does the vaccine work in high-risk subgroups? And how well does the vaccine reduce onward transmission? 1/5

"Arguments in favour of allowing the virus to run its course largely unchecked share a misunderstanding about what herd immunity is, and how best to achieve it. Here, Nature answers five questions about the controversial idea."

Important consensus statement in favor of controlling COVID-19 and countering irresponsible calls for herd immunity by natural infection.

A tiered intervention strategy. Again, global efforts is fundamental to coping with the plausible resurgence in years ahead.

Intensive, eight-week interventions for #COVID19 aimed at reducing community transmission and international travel by 80% could avert approximately 90% of clinical cases and effectively control transmission in most locations, a study finds. In PNAS: https://t.co/kYI63ebsUD
