Does Oli/Nuno have any data on reinfections? You mentioned a Virological study yesterday, but not sure if they're looking at that?
-
Not yet. Fiacruz has one case of reinfection (not this lineage - but another with 484K)
-
Latest UK estimate is a total number of infections as 20% of population.

Okie dokie - will be important/interesting to know. Also very curious to see what's going to happen in Israel after thevax campaign.

Manaus estimated at 60-70% from first wave

Yeah - high... (although I saw quite a number of people disagreeing with that number and the IFR seemed too low tome)
-
South Africa high but the area where the variant took off is really high - urban, dense, deprived.
-
Yup - seems plausible that immune escape might be the most likely explanation here - whether linked to natural immunity or vaccine induced. Why that would lead to increased transmission, I'm not quite sure I understand - except if e.g., high ACE2 binding is associated with both escape and transmission (not implausible).

It's all very interesting - although to be honest, I don't need any additional excitement at the moment. I just want toget back to being a totally anonymous scientist (with 323 followers on Twitter) looking at Ebola and Lassa genomes. SARS-CoV-2 is a little too exciting for my liking.
