Not tweeted properly since I shut the bot down, am resurfacing to advocate something: Fluvoxamine is already used in the UK (not for COVID). If trial data holds, this will make big difference in the Omicron wave. Government shd urgently review this. capx.co/why-are-we-ign…
If you haven't realised this account doesn't tweet anymore because the plots were taking up too much space on my computer and 3rd doses + under 18s make it all much less relevant anyway. Hope you enjoyed it while it lasted!

A post-Christmas lockdown is totally nonsensical. It would either be unnecessary or too late: after mass infections and Christmas socialising, post-Omicron peak. Lockdowns every winter are not the solution. We need boosters, antivirals and vaccine updates.
One small thing the govt could do to reduce the badness of the Omicron wave would be to make fluvoxamine available to older people who get a positive PCR result. It's not a wonder drug, but we have a lot of it and it does seem to help reduce severity. capx.co/why-are-we-ign…
Spreading terror, doom and gloom from a position of authority, however well intended the underlying objectives may be, is not something I can condone. There needs to be hope and clear endpoints for any public health measure to be justifiable. 5/
I don't think that we should bring in social distancing in pubs, etc. I'm not going to avoid seeing friends based on the current info we have. But asking people to work from home if they can is a pretty modest move that might buy us time to booster more people.
IMO, a lot of people are prematurely writing off the risk that omicron is very bad. There is far too much uncertainty to assume it's no big deal. I'm bewildered by many people's confidence that the (very mild) NPIs the govt has brought in are so obviously unnecessary.
Best thing we can all do at this stage is be careful, but don’t panic: we will get through this, as we’ve got through previous challenges. And get your booster as soon as you’re eligible (I’ll be getting mine at the weekend). 5/5
@mammuthus @RufusSG Yes, it seems this one is quite an outlier and goes against what we know to be true already based on other studies and RW data. Also, some people are reading the %s as VE. The % represent the NUMBER of samples that had detectable neutralization. With age being a huge factor, we-
Whitty: "This is a setback, this is not a situation where we are back to square one." Suggests one possible outcome is that boosters of current vaccines are used to hold back the omicron tide with updated jabs coming in a few months' time.
Are you breathing a little easier this morning with the new data on the effect of boosters against omicron, @KateBolduan asks Dr Fauci. Fauci: “Quite frankly, I am.” Says information will continue to come in, including on transmissibility and severity of omicron.
One important extra note on this study - which makes me cautiously optimistic... The relative risk of person with prior infection getting infected is 25% that of someone who has never been infected before. That would mean prior infection is 75% effective against Omicron!
🚨First large-scale South African study on risk of reinfection from Omicron 🚨 The Omicron wave has come with 2.4x higher risk of reinfection than the 1st Covid wave in spring last year. Importantly, the Beta and Delta waves were accompanied by no such increase.
• Enormous credit to the team at @nicd_sa who painstakingly gather this data every day. As with the discovery of Omicron, we owe everything we know on this to the in-country teams
Been an hour in this queue for the Covid vaccine booster, and while I'm nearly at the front the line is still the same size behind me - about 100 people waiting. That's around 100 an hour being jabbed here.
It’s precautionary not to cancel school children’s Christmas parties, plays, choirs & concerts Especially when adults Xmas celebrations ongoing Kids have carried a massive burden of the pandemic already... #StopIsolatingKids
Speaking of Hans Rosling, my phone reminded me of this photo from July six year ago. He came to England so that we could work on the research for one of his talks. It will always remain one of the highlights of my life to spend time with him. I very much wish he was still here.
Sample selection bias in practice: my local vaccine centre has no queue, so is very boring to photograph?
Even if a child's direct risk from Covid isn't high, children still suffer if their immunocompromised, middle aged and elderly relatives get Covid and die. And they suffer if we impose NPIs to protect those people because we've banned children from protecting themselves.
Following an IT issue reported to the #NHS on 21 June, it has not been possible to update #COVID19 #vaccinations carried out in England. UK totals only include updates from Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
This is completely inexplicable. Unless England's self-isolation policy if optional.
