| de-facto | "54,667/146,243(37.4%) PCR-tested contacts of 108,498 index cases were PCR-positive." | 15:41 |
| de-facto | "Two doses of BNT162b2 or ChAdOx1 vaccines in Alpha index cases were independently associated with reduced PCR-positivity in contacts (aRR, adjusted rate ratio vs. unvaccinated=0.32[95%CI 0.21-0.48] and 0.48[0.30-0.78] respectively)." | 15:41 |
| de-facto | "The Delta variant attenuated vaccine-associated reductions in transmission: two BNT162b2 doses reduced Delta transmission (aRR=0.50[0.39-0.65]), more than ChAdOx1 (aRR=0.76[0.70-0.82]). Variation in Ct values (indicative of viral load) explained 7-23% of vaccine-associated transmission reductions." | 15:42 |
| de-facto | "Transmission reductions declined over time post-second vaccination, for Delta reaching similar levels to unvaccinated individuals by 12 weeks for ChAdOx1 and attenuating substantially for BNT162b2. Protection in contacts also declined in the 3 months post-second vaccination." | 15:42 |

| de-facto | "This report has been published to continue to share the detailed variant surveillance analyses which contribute to the variant risk assessments and designation of new VOCs and VUIs." | 16:50 |
| de-facto | "The Delta sublineage AY.4.2 (VUI-21OCT-01) accounts for a slowly increasing proportion of cases in the UK. It accounts for 8.5% of Delta cases in the most recent complete week of sequencing (4 October 2021 to 10 October 2021). In more recent weeks, sequencing data are incomplete, however AY.4.2 accounts for 10.3% of Delta cases in the week 11 October 2021 to 17 October 2021 and 11.3% in the week 18 October 2021 to 24 October 2021." | 16:51 |
| de-facto | "The growth rate and secondary attack rates have been refreshed with new data and the findings remain the same as last week. Estimated growth rates remain slightly higher for AY.4.2 than for Delta, and the household secondary attack rate is higher for AY.4.2 cases than for other Delta cases." | 16:52 |
| de-facto | "A preliminary rapid vaccine effectiveness analysis does not suggest a significant reduction in vaccine effectiveness for AY.4.2 compared to Delta. However, a further analysis more comprehensive analysis using the standard test negative case control study design is being undertaken." | 16:52 |

| de-facto | i wonder if that somehow is related to that lab in UK giving out loads of false negative PCR tests | 17:05 |

| de-facto | "Based on a logistic growth model, the country-wide analysis yields a | 17:07 |
| de-facto | logistic growth rate of 19% per week for VUI-21OCT-01. Growth rate is context dependent and | 17:07 |
| de-facto | cannot be interpreted as a change in biological transmissibility" | 17:07 |
| de-facto | hmm but still they have an increased growth rate for AY.4.2 compared to other Delta variants | 17:08 |
| de-facto | "...secondary attack rates split by type of contact. Secondary attack rate for household contacts of cases with VUI-21OCT-01 was 12.2% (95% CI: 11.8% - 12.7%), higher than that observed for other Delta cases where it was 11.2% (95% CI: 11.1% - 11.3%). In nonhousehold settings, the secondary attack rate was higher for VUI-21OCT-01 than other Delta cases, but this difference was not significant." | 17:10 |
| de-facto | so that would mean for one generation (roughly 4.5 days on average): 12.2/11.2 ~ 1.089 hence +8.9% higher reproduction | 17:13 |

| Brainstorm | de-facto: From www.nature.com: Untimely TGFβ responses in COVID-19 limit antiviral functions of NK cells | Nature | 19:15 |
| de-facto | "NK cell function may be altered during COVID-19 despite increased representation of NK cells with an activated and ‘adaptive’ phenotype3,4. Here we show that viral load decline in COVID-19 correlates with NK cell status and that NK cells can control SARS-CoV-2 replication by recognizing infected target cells." | 19:16 |
| de-facto | "In severe COVID-19, NK cells show remarkable defects in virus control, cytokine production and cell-mediated cytotoxicity despite high expression of cytotoxic effector molecules. Single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) of NK cells along the time course of the entire COVID-19 disease spectrum reveals a unique gene expression signature." | 19:17 |
| de-facto | "Transcriptional networks of interferon-driven NK cell activation are superimposed by a dominant TGFβ response signature with reduced expression of genes related to cell-cell adhesion, granule exocytosis and cell-mediated cytotoxicity." | 19:17 |
| de-facto | "In severe COVID-19, serum levels of TGFβ peak during the first 2 weeks of infection, and serum obtained from these patients profoundly inhibits NK cell function in a TGFβ-dependent manner. " | 19:18 |
| de-facto | "Our data reveal that untimely production of TGFβ is a hallmark of severe COVID-19 and may inhibit NK cell function and early virus control." | 19:18 |
