Researching coronavirus pathogenesis since before it was cool. Virologist, not an epidemiologist. Food and travel junkie. #NewPI Opinions definitely my own.

Two days before Thanksgiving 2021 vs 2020. COVID is still a huge problem but thanks to vaccines I can go get a haircut safely today vs stressing about pre-vaccine thyroid surgery last year. I wish we were in a better place but I’m also very glad for this progress.

A very important point: The GBD is Dead Wrong Widespread prior infection does not protect populations from widespread subsequent infection. Immunity wanes. More infection just begets more sickness death, again and again. We can reduce it with vaccine delivery & mask policies.

Still can’t believe the talking heads said the Michigan alpha wave last spring was going to protect the state this winter. Delta is finding the unvaccinated including children twitter.com/VincentRK/stat…

Feeling pretty good but not 100% one day after my booster. Chai seems like the perfect comfort ‘food’ and also great for this chilly day.

Decided to learn from the kids celebrating their shots so I had ice cream for brunch when I got home.

4. Daley is going through something I'd missed before.

@CDC

's Emergency Use Instructions outline additional uses of the Pfizer booster. It can be used as a boost for non-FDA authorized vaccines, ie AZ or other vaxes not used in the US, & for people who were in vax trials.

Reasons for Optimism and Pessimism November 2021 Edition Optimism: Boosters for all adults in the US and vaccines for 5+. Both will make a chunk of our population less likely to be infected (and so less likely to transmit). Pessimism: Holdouts who haven't received a first dose.

My mom is also getting her booster this morning so we’ll be comparing side effects all weekend

It’s booster day for me (Moderna again) and soon to be booster day for anyone 6 months out! Glad to have this added protection with holiday gatherings on the horizon.

Flu is starting to spread in the United States and other parts of the world. As COVID mitigation strategies fall, flu cases are rising. This might be a very bad flu year. Get your flu vaccine if you haven't already! This is not a drill...

The Science of Viral Variants: From Covid to the Flu - Crowdcast

First, SARS-CoV-2 evolved to infect people. Further changes have led to variants such as Delta. What makes some more dangerous? And what do studies of the flu and SARS say about what might be next?

“If the vaccines work so well, why do we need a third dose?” Oh, I don’t know… Maybe because a lot of vaccines work that way?

Headlines may make you think all of public health says we should be done with mask policies to address the virus Did you know that just 2-3 people have driven most NYT & WaPo headlines against masks? Most public health experts think we should keep masks, especially in surges

Before CDC changed mask guidance in May - 95% of epidemiologists thought we needed masks for 6 months or longer, even before Delta - 50% thought >1 year - But many op-eds about removing masks asap When you see op-eds about off-ramps now, that does not reflect expert consensus

Batch two out of the oven!

Cooking adventure of the day - Hong Kong style egg tarts. We couldn’t decide on a crust style so we’re making two recipes for comparison. Photo evidence says we enjoyed both in HK. Leftovers to be shared in lab tomorrow!

We don’t pile kids into cars like clowns, eschew seat belts, and drive full speed saying it’ll be fine for most of them. Charge ahead minimizing risk of Covid and dropping precautions is pro-variant, pro-surge. We are heading into winter, holidays, <60% fully vaccinated.

Cases in the US are inching up again, after not even making it all the way down from the last surge. Boosters alone clearly aren’t the solution to preventing a winter surge. We need a strong & coordinated plan to support people & businesses through the coming months.

Important all countries try learn lessons from current waves Europe. Will be further waves around world their impact largely depend on access vaccines,drugs,tests,O2,PPE.With inequitable access to these tools impact will be far greater on deaths & increased chance of new variants

One of many problems with academic travel. The prolonged time to reimbursement is another one. It's bad enough asking faculty to float costs for a month or two but willfully blind to assume students can absorb that type of expense while waiting to get their money back.

One thing we overlook about reimbursement in academia is that it assumes all grad students have good/ample credit. I remember panicking about “just charge it to a credit card” because I only had one and the limit wasn’t high enough to carry all costs
