Important new study by Wibmer et al (https://t.co/q6150ahSCz) of neutralization by convalescent sera on wildtype vs 501Y.V2 variant viruses circulating in South Africa. It shows that mutations present in 501Y.V2 result in reduced neutralization capacity. 1/10
John Bartlett just died -- a true visionary and the classic "Renaissance" person in clinical ID. Such a nice guy, too! His IDSA/IDWeek literature summaries (among other things) were amazing. We'll miss him! @IDSAInfohttps://t.co/VYRjln6qDC

Great way to spend my morning - getting dose #2 completed #CovidVaccine Thanks to the incredible teams for working to assure our community is protected https://t.co/6S9jCT5wNj
At this point, the countries with most genomic data to analyze spread of the variant virus belonging to https://t.co/ImaHU6Jxdv B.1.1.7 lineage or @nextstrain clade 20I/501Y.V1 are the UK, Denmark and the USA. Here I compare growth rates of B.1.17 across these countries. 1/13
Senator Rand Paul said if youāve had #COVID19 or youāve received the #COVID19Vaccine "throw your mask away.ā
