I'm extremely mad at the local news running a story about a man who tested positive for COVID-19 even after getting two vaccine shots. That can still happen! That doesn't mean the vaccine doesn't work! gently caress you!

Life expectancy number only goes up. We're only 1 year away from being immortal due to good life expectancy number. Remember what the technological singularity graph plotter guy says.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predictions_made_by_Ray_Kurzweil posted:By 2022, medical technology will be more than a thousand times more advanced than it is today, and the "tipping point" of human life expectancy will have been reached, with every new year of research guaranteeing at least one more year of life expectancy. Kurzweil also states that 3–4 months of life expectancy were added in 2007 due to the development of new medicines and treatments.[34]

At this rate, in 78 years, no one will be alive in America. With the current rate of climate change, that checks out.

At this rate there's a new strain every week, at least. That will not slow down for as long as huge swaths of humanity are allowed to be carriers of the virus. The tendency to create new strains is amplified by the more strains there are, because it allows more of the space of possible mutations to be explored. Also because of recombination. Could anyone explain how recombination works in viruses by the way? I assume the viruses are not having sex. With a new strain every week, they're going to need to give us a new mRNA vaccine every week to target each one well. Can a new vaccine be tested and distributed in under a week? Well let's see... currently only 4% of Americans have been vaccinated to the first strain that vaccination was attempted for, after well over a year. Hmm

Happy Thread posted:At this rate there's a new strain every week, at least. I assume it can happen when a cell is infected by more than one variant at the same time. Edit: Yes, that is what happens. To quote the NCBI: quote:Viral recombination occurs when viruses of two different parent strains coinfect the same host cell and interact during replication to generate virus progeny that have some genes from both parents.

Bc of the storms they're out of vaccines in a lot of places. It sounded like a KY shipping hub closed for a bit. Know of 2 people having a 1st and 2nd vaccine pushed out 2 weeks in Tennessee and they simply canceled an appointment for a person getting their 1st vaccine in Georgia
