This is the culmination of many months of work (my funding from @Epipose)πŸΎπŸŽ‰

This implementation of 'covidm' builds on work by @_nickdavies (the OG creator) in the early #COVID days

Since joining @LSHTM in July 2020, I have developed covidm with @_nickdavies

The B.1.1.529 SARS-CoV-2 variant was first reported on 24th November 2021, and 2 days later @WHO designated it #Omicron. Since then we (me @_nickdavies @cap1024 @markjit and John Edmunds) have worked to understand potential consequences for England. 🧡 [cmmid.github.io/topics/covid19…] Figure 1 from the paper linked in the tweet. This figure has First, what do we know about Omicron?

1⃣ it has a large number of mutations (see covdb.stanford.edu/page/mutation-…)
2⃣ there is evidence from South Africa (s/out @SACEMAdirector and team) of an increased reinfection risk associated with the emergence of Omicron: An image showing the mutations within the genome of the Omic

A lot of attention on our @cmmid_lshtm preprint on the SARS-CoV-2 VOC 202012/01. For some background, the precursor work on a (single-variant) model looking at tiered restrictions and lockdown in England was published last night: authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S14… ✨PEER REVIEWED(!)✨ 1/9 We fitted a (single-variant) model of SARS-CoV-2 transmission to the first and second waves in England from March - October 2020, using a number of data sources across NHS England regions 2/9 Image
