Back in the days of John Humphrey Noyes before he got suspended for posting a study indicating there's viral persistence in epithelium of kids, because everyone includes kids.
How does a twit like this get 108K views propagating “what if viral persistence is REAL”?
It’s almost like we are back to banning twitter accounts for insisting SARS is airborne!

WHEN the rest of non-SARS experts acknowledge that “viral persistence is a thing”, we will be one step closer to acknowledging the true immunity dysfunction threat of SARS

I see #MERS trending - a few thoughts on it. MERS is a coronavirus, just like SARS-CoV-2, but there are many differences: MERS is primarily transmitted from camels to humans by zoonotic transmission. It is continuously circulating in camels which themselves do not get very sick
Unlike SARS-CoV-2, the virus is replicating in humans in the lower respiratory tract, therefore it's not easily transmitted between humans unless there are special conditions that favor transmission (eg health-care related). At-risk of infection are those with close camel contact
Very unlikely that someone who visits a soccer game without close camel contact contracts MERS. So while I am not worried about MERS in this setting, constant spillover gives the virus a chance to adapt. We should keep an eye on MERS but also important to be clear about risks

MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV-1, in particular, pose a significant recurrent pandemic threat.
The fatality rates of these viruses are 10-35%, making them 5-16 times worse than SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19; 2/7)

When I showed this video to a few friends of mine, some had an opinion that #COVID19 is blown out of proportion as:
1. Deaths are concentrated mainly for 70+ age group(90% of the deaths)
2. Death rate for <50Y is even less than 0.5%
3. Vaccines would be available soon

Començaré fort. Si no arribem a taxes de vacunació entre el 50-70% l’efecte de les vacunes vs #SARSCoV2 es veurà clarament compromesa. Recordin que les vacunes no ens protegiran, el que ens protegeix és la vacunació, i com més estesa en l’espai geogràfic i grups d’edat millor.
I la rapidesa amb que s’han obtingut aquestes vacunes fa malfiar alguna gent; òbviament hi ha els que no se la poden posar per estar en grups particulars on el quocient benefici/cost no és favorable (immunocompromesos per exemple, gent amb certes patologies) però també estan...

🚨#COVID19 PAPER ALERT🚨
F@h simulations of the #coronavirus Nsp16 protein (1) reveal the structural mechanism of its activation, which ultimately enables the virus to escape our immune system, & (2) detect a ‘cryptic’ pocket to block Nsp16’s action.

biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
For successful infection, #coronaviruses use a protein called Nsp16 that modifies the viral genome so that the virus avoids an immune response. Nsp16 works by binding 2 substrates: RNA (green) and SAM (pink). Viruses and humans contain similar (homologous) proteins.
Unlike other viruses and humans, #coronavirus Nsp16 requires a binding partner (Nsp10) to activate its enzymatic activity. This difference is interesting from a basic science standpoint, and because it could present a way to target the coronavirus selectively with a drug.
With the .@NIAIDNews #ACCT1 trial final report published on 05 Nov 2020 and the .@WHO's #SolidarityTrial Preliminary report published on 02 December 2020, thought it would be good to take another look at both trials and find ways forward for the patients we are dealing with today
Motivated by a patient I am dealing with who will survive very severe #COVID19 in the setting of transplant, but her father, who was hospitalized earlier than her with moderate COVID, was left to progress and died before her discharge, given #remdesivir only after going on #BiPAP
Here is the link to the prior analysis and I think the new publications give some interesting details which will follow
“I have been identified as the contact of someone who has tested positive for #covid19”, says @drtedros who is joining @WHO presser remotely today from his quarantine. “At this time, it's critically important that we all comply with health guidance."
