Since our last update on March 29, officials from the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) note that Minnesotans have made progress in reducing the numbers of new cases of COVID-19 and increasing the vaccination rate which is now at about 50% of the eligible population. Minnesota Health Commi...
In another study of 73 COVID-19 patients, 39 (53.4%) were positive for SARS-CoV-2 RNA in stool, where duration of viral positivity ranged from 1 to 12 days. Even more, 17 (23.3%) patients that were negative for respiratory samples showed positive results with viral RNA in stool [75]...
SARS-CoV-2 positivity was defined either as a nasal lateral flow antigen test which became positive within two minutes (STANDARD® Q COVID-19 Ag Test, SD Biosensor, Suwon-si, Korea) or a positive PCR test within the previous 24h with a cycle threshold value (Ct) < 25 (all viral...
To construct a temporal diagnostic sensitivity curve, we fitted a log-Normal distribution to nasopharyngeal RT-PCR testing percent-positivity data from Hellewell et al.11using a maximum-likelihood approach (Supplementary Methods; Supplementary Table1; Supplementary Fig.1). ...
Europe is also impacted substantially. As of today, Spain, Italy, UK, France, Germany, and Turkey all had >2.5 million confirmed infections (and they are all in the top 10 countries with the highest number of infected subjects) and with a mortality rate of 310 to 1606 per million. Russia...

The reduced ability of aged B cells to increase their metabolism, characterized by a strong reduction in oxidative phosphorylation after activation, contributes to the weakened antibody responses of the elderly to vaccination in ...
