@DrClintVeale Missed you by a day!

How to Maintain an RNase-free Lab
"Human skin and body fluids such as saliva, tears and mucus, can contain RNases (so don't cry over your samples)."
Sound advice!

What would ideal COVID Isolation guidance be?

Once rapid antigen tests are cheap & ubiquitous

1. Isolate for first 5 days

2. Then test daily

3. Negative X 2 days? End isolation. Good to go

4. Positive? Remain in isolation until 2 negs or 10 days

I think its that simple

“Until we have a second-generation vaccine that actually stops transmission, [the pandemic] will not be over” shared ImmunityBio Founder @drpatrick today on @QuestMeans. ImmunityBio is proud to begin phase 3 clinical trials for our COVID vaccine in Africa next week.

@kfranzin @sakerrie @s_apatriot Depends on how many people get vaccinated; more vaccinated, more control of the virus, less chance of variants arising and we can get over this pandemic. It's literally the people that are refusing vaccines that are fueling the need for additional shots. Please get vaccinated 🙏

[Adam Kramer @AdamHKramer]

@kfranzin @sakerrie @s_apatriot From your article: "Keep current with all recommended vaccines. Vaccines prime your immune system to fight off infections before they take hold in your body." Please, please, please do all the things recommended in this article, including getting vaccinated!

[Adam Kramer @AdamHKramer]

@kfranzin @sakerrie @s_apatriot If only there was a way to boost your natural immunity...oh wait, vaccinate

Is the travel ban to/from South Africa really justified? Should the UK not be looking closer to home? 🤔
The continent (Europe) is surging yet we fear that which is now named! 🤨

[Jeremy Farrar @JeremyFarrar]

South Africa needs to be praised, offered whatever support is needed & acknowledged for the quality & speed of the public health & genomic science in SA, sharing the data immediately, supporting the region & the world. Not criticised, have sanctions or other restrictions imposed

[Prof Peter Hotez MD PhD DSc(hon) @PeterHotez]

I get the concern about the variant, but can we point to any instance where travel restrictions have affected the course of the pandemic in the US? In 2020 we obsessed about China travel restrictions only to have Covid enter NYC from Southern Europe

[Dr Ellie Murray, ScD @EpiEllie]

I can also thank South Africa for investing time & resources in variant monitoring, despite the risk they face of being stigmatized as a “source” of variants.

They find variants first because they’ve learned it’s better to confront hard truths than hide your head in the sand.

Thank you Mr President for your leadership @cyrilramaphosa @nantworks

@StudioCitizen1 @carlpierce @EinsteinPhD Over 5 years for me, never won once 😔

@rid1tweets Time for level 2 or 3?

[David Sharp @davidjsharp2015]

Excited to have this work published. First author and former @EinsteinMed grad student @LisaBaker12345 deserves a big shoutout. She is now @MicroCures working to move this tech into the clinic
