      📍Worrisome new data—new B117 variant is not only more infectious, it’s potentially more infectious in children 0-9 (+24%) and 10-19 (+14%), and less among 60-79, compared to common strains. More sobering—the R estimate is much higher.

      2) For R, various estimates range from 0.36 to 0.68 (higher R via more accurate sequenced virus samples, lower R estimate via shortcut PCR test w/ more data). This means every person infected w/ B.1.1.7 variant **infects additional +0.36 to +0.68 persons** than old strain. Wow.pic.twitter.com/Bgd6pDdS08

      3) To be clear, the graph shows the relative proportion of each age group for the B117 strain versus the *same age group* of the other strain, adjusted for geography & week. Thus its not just “school open” effect. It’s versus the common strain’s same age group, adjusted for time.pic.twitter.com/oBqgqy7YKm

      4) Given this evidence, I think we need to rethink school reopenings until we get this new B117 variant strain under control. We need every teacher and school worker (bus drivers, cafeteria staff, custodians) vaccinated before we got back to school. It pains me to say it though.

      5) To be clear, there is a concern there is a school effect, but the Imperial team adjusted for time (what week it was). And this isn’t saying kids are more infectious than adults—likely now on par with adults (kids were lower risk with older strain).

      How about highlighting what the people directly looking at the data have been saying? Reality is “worrisome” enough.https://twitter.com/mugecevik/status/1345350165767614464 …

      In summary, there are currently 3 analyses (PHE, ONS, LSHTM -tweets #23-25 & 35) that show the new variant has the same age-related transmissibility as other variants. Imperial data showed age share of the variant is higher in kids but this is a transient effect of lockdown. 36/

          Moderna looking more like a pump-and-dump. $89M worth of sales of Moderna stock by company executives. The chief medical officer, who has sold more than 350,000 shares this year "currently holds zero shares of Moderna stock." https://www.statnews.com/2020/05/27/moderna-executives-cashed-out-shares-stock-price-soared/ …
