More signals of moderate surge in SF: UCSF Health asymptomatic test pos. rate now 3.7% (was ~2 last month); 32 Covid patients in my hospital (was 15), & wastewater rising. Overall, Covid risk from same encounter probably twice what it was on 11/1. Get boosted, rethink masks.
#InTheNews This winter, the U.S. saw less COVID cases. Helix's shishi luo told Cecelia Smith at U.S. News & World Report a level of immunity played a role. Plus, recent variants are Omicron descendants, so the population hasn’t been exposed to a new strain of COVID-19. tinyurl.com/bdd5e4hu

#InTheNews: shishi luo, Head of Infectious Diseases, spoke w/MedPage Today about the BA.2.86 variant. "There is "reason to continue to monitor it. The key to the public health response is being able to connect sequencing data with clinical patient data." bit.ly/3Pi42DX

Congrats to Alexandre Bolze and coauthors on research demonstrating how personalized genetics can help defer breast cancer screening for those at low risk. Read the feature on GenomeWeb: genomeweb.com/sequencing/bre…
Great job by the The New York Times for highlighting the underutilization of SARS-CoV-2 antivirals. We've also seen low antiviral uptake rates (~20%) in Helix's viral monitoring data. Read more in our brief report published at Clinical Infectious Diseases academic.oup.com/cid/article-ab…
#InTheNews: @USNews spoke w/head of infectious diseases, shishi luo, about the winter COVID-19 wave, saying Helix’s data shows the benefits of COVID-19 vaccines among older populations and future vaccine campaigns might be more targeted to that age group. bit.ly/493UlA3
