Great team work!

Heroic study in which researchers tagged & expressed 26/29 #COVID19 #SARSCoV2 proteins in human cells, pulled down and identified by MS human proteins that bind each viral protein, & 69 drugs or drug-like molecules that modulate these interactions. (1/2) biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

A peculiar loss of a sense of smell or taste appears to be a common #COVID19 #coronavirus symptom in reports from multiple countries, and is increasingly used to guide recommendations to self-quarantine. nytimes.com/2020/03/22/hea…

A Chicago aquarium closed its doors for two weeks due to the COVID-19 pandemic—so these Rockhopper penguins got to go check out the other exhibits! Although the aquarium is closed to the public, care staff are onsite for the animals. abcn.ws/2QnM1oV

NEW: The UK only realised "in the last few days" that attempts to "mitigate" the coronavirus pandemic would not work, and that it needed to shift to a strategy to "suppress", according to a report by a team of experts who have been advising the government buzzfeed.com/alexwickham/co…

Although the French data don’t align with the Italian and Chinese sets yet, it’s never too late for the relatively young people to get alerted.

In France, "300 coronavirus patients are in critical condition—half of them under 50 years of age." Every one of us has a moral obligation to reduce social exposure right now. But if the moral reasons don't do it for you, how about some selfish ones? nytimes.com/2020/03/14/wor…

Here's a non-paywalled version of Matt Hancock's article in the Sunday Telegraph. I'm not all that reassured by it (but that could change with more info), but at least he explicitly states that achieving herd immunity is not part of the plan. gov.uk/government/new…

I tried to give a tentative explanation of the herd-immunity strategy. Here are some tough questions about it from someone who is extremely well qualified to ask them. 1/

Unlike all other countries, the UK strategy aims to build herd immunity by allowing the steady spread of #COVID19. The government argue it will block a second peak in several months time. Here are EIGHT questions about this HERD IMMUNITY strategy: (THREAD)

I should be qualified to comment on the covid-19 pandemic. I'm a computational/system biologist working on infectious diseases and have spent five years in a world class 'pandemic response modelling' unit. In this thread, I will summarise what I believe I (don't) know. (1/12)

1. The govt strategy on #Coronavirus is more refined than those used in other countries and potentially very effective. But it is also riskier and based on a number of assumptions. They need to be correct, and the measures they introduce need to work when they are supposed to.

This blog considers assumptions about the spread of the viral infection & the capacity of hospitals to provide ICU to those who will need it. He argues we should learn the lessons from China and Italy & go for lock-down immediately. Needs an urgent debate medium.com/@joschabach/fl…

Heartbreaking. And a helpful reminder of the people and families behind the numbers. 😔

A control is always very important...I mean, a GOOD one

I'm glad the UK have decided to offer us all up as a control experiment...

Here is the thing to understand about flattening the curve. It only works if we take necessary measures before they seem necessary. And if it works, people will think we over-reacted. We have to be willing to look like we over-reacted.
