Whoa—New study found active
#SARSCoV2 in the intestines of children for up to 36 days—70% of infected children carried the active virus without showing any symptoms, giving worry to “invisible transmitters”. Of 22 cases, 20 were children under age of 6.

ITALY 
SCHOOL REOPENING: Nationwide in Italy, 15-20 days after schools reopened, #COVID19 surged. The “rate of growth of daily#SARSCoV2 cases in all Italian regions provides some evidence in favor of a link between school reopening and resurgence”.

1/ Who wants to tell the Times that the rates of
#SARSCoV2 infections worldwide, in the US, and in US prisons are likely ~the same, and any differences in reported rates probably result solely from the testing of asymptomatic prisoners? pic.twitter.com/ll7PipkeJO

#LongCovid is not past tense. It’s something that will keep happening if#SARSCoV2 is allowed to circulate almost freely among younger unvaccinated age groups. I still can’t believe how this fact is totally ignored when briefing the public about next steps in pandemic response. -
33 participants who received both doses of the Moderna mRNA-1273 vaccine had blood drawn over 6 months after vaccination.
#SARSCoV2 neutralizing activity was maintained in all the patients. A half-life of 202 days was determined for the live-virus neutralization activity. -
Reinfection may be more common than recorded & 2nd time
#COVID19 may be worse. Frm Brazil: "The 2nd episode was assoc'ed w/different#SARSCoV2 strains, higher viral loads & clinical symps..persons w/mild COVID-19 may [not] have detectable humoral immunity" https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/27/5/20-4912_article … -
Six patients previously infected with the original
#SARSCoV2 virus received the BNT162b2 vaccine. Before vaccination, they had neutralizing activity against the B.1.1.7 and P.1 variants but not B.1.351. After one dose, neutralizing activity against all variants increased greatly. -
Epidemiologist Dr.
@larrybrilliant, who led smallpox global eradication, expressed concerns over new#SARSCoV2 variants and stressed need for a plan in addition to vaccines. “I’m quite worried—We seem to be getting variants of concern almost every week”.

Convalescent serum from persons who had recovered from infection with 501Y.V2, a
#SARSCoV2 variant in South Africa, showed potent neutralization of pseudoviruses expressing spike proteins of the original variant (D614G), the 501Y.V2 variant, and the P.1 variant in Brazil. -
#ICYMI Pfizer unveils the first orally administered inhibitor of the#SARSCoV2 main protease to enter clinical trials. Inhibiting this protease will prevent the virus from cleaving parts it needs to reproduce itself.#ACSSpring2021http://ow.ly/vaQ150EjXiu -
2/ In fact, I would go even further and make the companies conduct more preclinical work before allowing them to conduct clinical trials in children.
#SARSCoV2 is a cold for almost any healthy child; the bar for experimental therapies should be exceptionally high.Show this thread -
A new X-ray crystallography screen of more than 5,000 drug compounds has found seven that bind to
#SARSCoV2’s main protease and show target-specific antiviral activity. Of these, two show potential as candidates for preclinical testing. https://fcld.ly/e6rlm25 pic.twitter.com/e3aiXlhF3p

Analysis of serum samples from patients convalescing after
#SARSCoV2 infection and after vaccination with BBIBP-CorV or CoronaVac vaccines in China showed neutralizing-antibody titers against the B.1.1.7 strain that were similar to those against the wild-type strain. -
