.@dorianjharris to date, the data suggest that #b1117 is more easily transmitted but doesn't not cause more severe disease. Masks, distancing, handwashing etc all still are good measures to reduce the risk of infection by this variant. #AskReutershttps://t.co/nyGccYNTTU
.@DrivesMac True for now. More data are needed to show whether or not vaccinated people can still carry the virus asymptomatically. For that reason, people who have been vaccinated should still wear masks, etc. for now. #AskReutershttps://t.co/kPLB38bVKT
.@KevGoodchild People have very different responses to COVID. Some have minimal signs of long term protection following infection. We need to learn what a truly protective immune response looks like. Until then, we cannot assume everyone who had #COVID is protected. #AskReutershttps://t.co/n6ZwWuVLTR
Do people who have had #Covid build immunity? If so should the known number be added to the amount of people who have been vaccinated to give a more positive outlook? #AskReuters
.@indylana Yes, it will likely extend the immunity you may have after recovering from COVID. It may also fortify/strengthen your immune response to future exposures as well.#AskReutershttps://t.co/OufzuNnMxo

@Reuters#AskReuters if PHE are saying the vaccine doesn't stop transmission, surely once all top 4 cohorts are vaccinated it doesn't matter anyway as they make up 88% of the deaths and will be protected once jabbed. So they could only pass it on to someone who has a 99.7% of surviving it
