Vaccinated People Are Going to Hug Each Other The vaccines are phenomenal. Belaboring their imperfections—and telling people who receive them never to let down their guard—carries its own risks. Julia Marcus The Atlantic

Genome Sequencing of Sewage Detects Regionally Prevalent SARS-CoV-2 Variants

Wed, 2021-01-27 16:42 — mike kraft

Genome Sequencing of Sewage Detects Regionally Prevalent SARS-CoV-2 Variants Viral genome sequencing has guided our understanding of the spread and extent of genetic diversity of SARS-CoV-2 during the COVID-19 pandemic. SARS-CoV-2 viral genomes are usually sequenced from nasopharyngeal swabs of individual patients to track viral spread. Recently, RT-qPCR of municipal wastewater has been used to quantify the abundance of SARS-CoV-2 in several regions globally. However, metatranscriptomic sequencing of wastewater can be used to profile the viral genetic diversity across infected communities. Here, we sequenced RNA directly from sewage collected by municipal utility districts in the San Francisco Bay Area to generate complete and nearly complete SARS-CoV-2 genomes.

Duke Study: Eviction, Utility Shutoff Moratoriums Slowed COVID-19 Spread

Wed, 2021-01-27 10:45 — mike kraft

Duke Study: Eviction, Utility Shutoff Moratoriums Slowed COVID-19 Spread A new study by Duke University shows that moratoriums on evictions and utility shutoffs helped reduce COVID-19 infection rates. Duke University researchers analyzed the impact of policies intended to prevent evictions or shutoffs of essential services such as water and electricity. The study encompasses all counties in the U.S. between March and November of 2020. 88.5 WFDD

E.U. and U.K. Fighting Over Scarce Vaccines

Wed, 2021-01-27 10:23 — mike kraft

LONDON — The vaccine wars have come to Europe.

For months now, wealthy countries have been clearing the world’s shelves of coronavirus vaccines, leaving poorer nations with little hope of exiting the pandemic in 2021. But a fresh skirmish this week has pitted the rich against the rich — Britain versus the European Union — in the scramble for vials, opening a new and unabashedly nationalist competition that could poison relations and set back collective efforts to end the pandemic.
