When #WhyCMR is performed 3d after #MINOCA admission (SMINC-2) vs 12d (SMINC-1), #myocarditis and #Takotsubo diagnoses increase at expense of fewer normal findings, but #infarction stays the same. Our latest, out now in JACC CVI sciencedirect.com/science/ar… 1/n

1/25 Trusts were asked in NHS March Planning Guidance to start planning on how to recover care backlogs. Early work now starting to show the scale of the problem. One of my long tweet threads follows on the detail of what's emerging. See p13 of @thesundaytimes and @SkyNews too!

An important, very positive finding published in the @NEJM: nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NE… The data on the BioNTech/Pfizer vaccine shows that 1 dose is 92.6% effective after 2 weeks. That is excellent and almost as good as 2 doses (94.8%).

Our paper, "An evidence review of face masks against COVID-19", written by a cross-disciplinary team of 19 international experts, was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences today. No time for the paper? Then read this thread! pnas.org/content/118/4/e2014…

26/42 Are there any national datasets that accurately capture what is going on? The brilliant @jburnmurdoch has highlighted number of admissions into ICU. The message from his animated chart (click on link) couldn’t be clearer – this winter is v unusual: xitter.cf/i/status/1347200811303….
NEW: a common response to reports of hospitals struggling this winter is "it’s no different to a bad flu season!" I’ve tracked down historical data on flu ICU admissions, including winter 2017-18, a record high. Here’s how England’s Covid winter compares to a bad flu season 📹

1/42 Good to see yesterday’s @thetimes editorial attacking the pandemic of covid misinformation. Here’s my twitter contribution to fighting it, as suggested. Lockdown and covid sceptics continue to consistently misuse cherry picked data to argue NHS not unusually busy.

Spooky... (note the time)
Trump fans are getting anxious. They were told this speech would contain the secret plan to win back the election for Donald Trump. Not happening, and they're not happy.
North Tees and Hartlepool NHS Trust just recruited their 500th patient to RECOVERY. Incredible contribution. Massive thanks to everyone involved. Making a real difference to improving COVID care for everyone.

NEW THREAD: possible development of anti-Syncytin responses after immunization with the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein-coding mRNA vaccines, based on a "homologous" region shared between these proteins.

1/21 Parliament votes on the new tiered restctions on Tuesday. A lot of comment in today’s papers on what’s happening in the hospital sector. Important questions on NHS capacity, demand, preparedness, Nightingales etc. Thread below sets out NHS hospital trust perspective.

Over the last 6 months, we've learned a lot about how SARS-CoV-2 spreads🦠 What does the evidence so far tell us about SARS-CoV-2 transmission dynamics, high-risk activities and environments? Thread 🧵 (1/n) papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.…

A lot of discussion recently about transmission dynamics, most of which are extrapolated from viral loads & estimates. What does contact tracing/community testing data tell us about actual probability of #COVID19 transmission(infection rate), high risk environments/age? [thread]
