1/7. So, there is a BIG paper out (not yet peer-reviewed) out looking at the factors associated with #COVID19-related hospital death. Starting with health records of 17 mil UK NHS patients, they studied >5.5K COVID deaths. Graph summarises factors associated with risk of death. Image 2/7. Read the full pre-print by @bengoldacre and others here: medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

1/8. Much of our hope hangs on immunity. Will people who get #COVID19 be immune afterwards? How long will immunity last? Will we be able to tell who has immunity? Can we use antibodies from immune people as a treatment? Can we make an effective vaccine?
#HealthResearchMatters 2/8. While research is at an early phase, it's moving fast. It seems that affected people do develop immunity & that it's likely to last perhaps 1-3 years (rather than months, which would be bad or decades, which would be amazing). It's too early to know the timeframe yet though.
