So, Jasper, the very best dog in the world died suddenly but peacefully yesterday in the garden at Gormley Towers. He was simply a dote and we're going to miss him so much. @Gormflake

Latest hospitalisation data from Gauteng does show quite a large increase in hospital admissions due to Covid (most recent week incomplete). Now almost 5x increase over 2 weeks from 136 -> 647.

Just uploaded first G-II exhaled SARS-CoV-2 aerosol paper to @medrxivpreprint, but screening takes 4-5 days (longer during weekend). Had I known, I wouldn’t have rushed to submit. Seems like a long time to wait for ‘rapid publication’ during a pandemic! Possible to expedite?

Giving my age away to say I attended this. It was like 'proper actors' thought Derry was worth the effort, and the words of Brian Friel's 'Translations' just captured the whole colonial/language/belonging/troubles/border complexity so well. As my mother said,'Powerful'. #FieldDay
"The playwright joined us on stage to cheers of approval. What a night that was!" Nuala Hayes on the premiere of Translations, Derry, 1980. She played Máire; the late Art O'Briain directed; the cast included Mick Lally, Stephen Rea + one Liam Neeson #BrianFriel #FieldDay

Great paper from UK PHE data here - viral culture rates by Ct values, n=324 ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/article…
Many samples cultured with viral loads far lower than Innova said to detect (LOD Ct 25.5 - but recall Ct values not standarised)
Clear risk relationship, but no way diagnostic

Great video on exposure time, a crucial variable. Our analysis of the Skagit Valley choir outbreak showed that if rehearsal was 30 min instead of 2.5 h, all things being equal, the infection risk would drop from 87% to 12%
Here is a great video made by high school student Chenjing Liaw as part of a Breakthrough challenge video series: covid-19. She examines infectious dose and indoor spaces. Really impressed! youtube.com/watch?v=yOh3InQ4…
