Was considering taking a break from this thread as we recently had COVID and now just have to wait and see if we develop any long COVID or related issues. No need to read and obsess over stuff that I can't control anymore, either we develop these problems or we don't.

However this thread has done a good job compiling info suggesting that prompt post-Omicron reinfections are a real possibility and a new immune escape variant might already be spreading. This has helped reinforce the need to continue and redouble our isolation efforts, esp given the perverse social pressure to immediately return to normal now that "we're protected". So still glad I'm paying attention, although it's not fun.

quote:

Africa may have reached the pandemic's holy grail

When the results of his study came in, Kondwani Jambo was stunned.

He's an immunologist in Malawi. And last year he had set out to determine just how many people in his country had been infected with the coronavirus since the pandemic began.

Jambo, who works for the Malawi-Liverpool-Wellcome Trust Clinical Research Programme, knew the total number of cases was going to be higher than the official numbers. But his study revealed that the scale of spread was beyond anything he had anticipated — with a huge majority of Malawians infected long before the omicron variant emerged. "I was very shocked," he says.

Most important, he says, the finding suggests that it has now been months since Malawi entered something akin to what many countries still struggling with massive omicron waves consider the holy grail: the endemic stage of the pandemic, in which the coronavirus becomes a more predictable seasonal bug like the flu or common cold.

In fact, top scientists in Africa say Malawi is just one of many countries on the continent that appear to have already reached — if not quite endemicity — at least a substantially less threatening stage, as evidenced by both studies of the population's prior exposure to the coronavirus and its experience with the omicron variant.

this one i'd guess, since it has nothing to do with SARS-CoV-2

quote:

"Our study demonstrates the first case of ACE2 usage in MERS-related viruses, shedding light on a potential bio-safety threat of the human emergence of an ACE2 using "MERS-CoV-2" with both high fatality and transmission rate," they said.

The researchers further noted that infection with NeoCov could not be cross-neutralised by antibodies targeting SARS-CoV-2 or MERS-CoV.

I appreciate the evolution of the trolley problem. they are going to have to update philosophy books to incorporate societal derangement.

we’ve gone from the traditional ‘trolley problem’ to ‘no switch trolley problem’ to ‘single rail full of people-you can only watch trolley problem’ to ‘you are on the tracks with everyone else trolley problem’ to ‘now you are attempting to escape and everyone is trying to stop you trolley problem.’
