Impact of population mixing between vaccinated and unvaccinated subpopulations on infectious disease dynamics: implications for SARS-CoV-2 transmission – CMAJ

Abstract Background: The speed of vaccine development has been a singular achievement during the COVID-19 pandemic, although uptake has not been universal. Vaccine opponents often frame their opposition in terms of the rights of the unvaccinated. We sought to explore the impact of mixing of vaccinated and unvaccinated populations on risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection among vaccinated people. Methods: We constructed a simple susceptibleā€“infectiousā€“recovered compartmental model of a respiratory infectious disease with 2 connected subpopulations: people who were vaccinated and those who were unvaccinated. We simulated a spectrum of patterns of mixing between vaccinated and unvaccinated groups that ranged from random mixing to complete like-with-like mixing (complete assortativity), in which peopl...

My At-Home Rapid Test Is Negative, But Could I Still Have COVID? – HuffPost

In the age of omicron, where COVIDā€™s attack rate is higher than previous variants, entire households and friend groups are getting sick. If one person gets COVID, thereā€™s a good chance others in their home will also get infected. Whatā€™s odd, though, is occasionally only one or two people in that friend group or family unit will test positive on a rapid test. The rest, though symptomatic, test negative. Are rapid tests missing more infections now than they did with previous variants? Despite the anecdotal evidence, the latest research suggests the kits work just as well on omicron as they did with delta (meaning they can catch about 80% of cases confirmed by a positive PCR test). ā€œIn general, the rapid tests seem to be performing on par with omicron as well as the other variants,ā€ Wilbur...

Not many people spend much time analyzing the 1997 film ā€œAir Bud.ā€ But thatā€™s what was on John Oliverā€™s mind this week. ā€œDonā€™t worry. Iā€™m not going to ruin 1997ā€²s ā€˜Air Bud,ā€™ for you,ā€ he promised early in the segment. ā€œIf I wanted to do that Iā€™d say either that the dog who played him is definitely dead by now, or that it mustā€™ve been nice to make content before 9/11.ā€ His HBO show, ā€œLast Week Tonight,ā€ is on break, but Oliver released a web-only clip on YouTube spelling out the problems he has with the movie. ā€œI know what youā€™re thinking.
