UCL Virus Watch

To help stop the spread of COVID-19 we need households across England and Wales to join our study so we can learn from people in every community.

@interacter We are very disappointed too Neil. We will keep the study running with our new funding, but this unexpected cut to the antibody testing is very disruptive and we appreciate your continued support. Rob

@t1m1964 Hi Tim. Hopefully you got our email yesterday. We’ve secured longer term funding for Virus Watch but unfortunately the antibody testing has been unexpectedly cut short which we are very disappointed about. Thanks for your continued support. Rob

@Mark_P0x0n Hi, Could you send us an email to check what’s happening as it sounds like something might have gone wrong as you should only be getting packs every other month so sounds like your wife is getting them too often. You can contact us at [email protected] . Thanks

🚨🤒| UK statutory sick pay is amongst the lowest in Europe, but many don't have access to any sick pay at all

Our new report with @viruswatchstudy data reveals older workers, ethnic minorities and poorer people are most likely to lack any sick pay https://t.co/H8yyR8Eks6

@StokersHV Unfortunately we are unable to confirm details like that securely on social media, but if you email us at [email protected] we look into it further.

@Julford57 Hi Julian - we can let you know the threshold for a positive result if you drop us an email, but we are not returning the quantitive results as these are for research purposes only right now - Virus Watch research is one study trying to determine their significance (or not).

Would you accept a Covid-19 vaccine if offered?

This is the question we asked households in England & Wales as part of @viruswatchstudy @ucl to see how intentions have changed.

A paper on the findings, co-authored by our CEO @ButtJabeer is now available: https://t.co/uEriuaE7pn

There will also be a separate analysis of people who are vulnerable.

@Mark_P0x0n Hi. No known issues with the packs, but timings of when they arrive might now be such that they don’t all arrive at the same time for everyone in the household. Feel free to drop us an email and we can double check nothing has gone wrong. Thanks for your help and support. Rob

[UCL Virus Watch @viruswatchstudy]

@Mark_P0x0n Thanks - glad you got it sorted. Do let me know if you have any other problems. Rob
