Coronavirus antibody prevalence falling in England, REACT study shows | Imperial News | Imperial College London
Tests on more than 365,000 people in England have shown that the antibody response to the virus that causes COVID-19 wanes over time.
The COVID-19 response illustrates that traditional academic reward structures and metrics do not reflect crucial contributions to modern science
The COVID-19 pandemic has motivated many open and collaborative analytical research projects with real-world impact. However, despite their value, such activities are generally overlooked by traditional academic metrics. Science is ultimately...
Estimating epidemiologic dynamics from single cross-sectional viral load distributions
Virologic testing for SARS-CoV-2 has been central to the COVID-19 pandemic response, but interpreting changes in incidence and fraction of positive tests towards understanding the epidemic trajectory is confounded by changes in testing practices....
High prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 swab positivity in England during September 2020: interim report of round 5 of REACT-1 study
Background: REACT-1 is a community survey of PCR confirmed swab-positivity for SARS-CoV-2 among random samples of the population in England. This interim report includes data from the fifth round of data collection currently underway for swabs...

Latest REACT findings show high number of coronavirus infections across England | Imperial News | Imperial College London
An interim report from the largest community COVID-19 testing programme has found a high infection prevalence and that cases have continued to rise.
Growth in Covid cases may be slowing
The R number in England appears to have fallen, a study suggests, although case numbers remain high.

The latest results from the REACT-1 study are (briefly) summarised here by @JamesTGallagher. While we see evidence that growth in #COVID19 cases may be slowing, we also estimated that 1 in 200 people are currently infected.

Adam Kucharski on what should (and shouldn't) worry us about the coronavirus
Infectious disease expert Adam Kucharski uses mathematical models to help the world understand how diseases like Ebola and Zika spread -- and how they can be controlled. As the threat of COVID-19 continues to rise, he gives us a necessary...
5 things scientists now know about COVID-19 — and 5 they’re still figuring out
The world has changed in the six months since a COVID-19 was officially declared a pandemic — and that includes the world of science. Infectious disease expert Adam Kucharski takes us through…
