  This valuable manuscript by Lane introduces an exciting way to measure SARS-CoV-2 aerosolized shedding using a disposable exhaled breath condensate collection device (EBCD). The paper draws the conclusion that the contagious shedding of the virus via the aerosol route persists at a high level until 8 days after symptoms. While the methodology is potentially of high importance and the paper is clearly written, the conclusions are incomplete and only partially supported by the data.

  eLife assessment

  This important manuscript, which describes the largest genetic association study to date, uses broadly compelling methods to address the genetic susceptibility to tuberculosis infection. A strength of the paper is that this multi-ancestry meta-analysis of genetic association studies than is more powerful than what has been done before. A weakness is that its main result is difficult to interpret due to the complexity of the genetic association signal.
