Carrier posted:Maybe I'm having a stroke but I'm really struggling to parse what you are saying here lol that's because I wrote poorly Major t cell researchers and immunologists studying the hour-by-hour timeline of the humoral response via hospital blood samples happened to simultaneously bring pre-review prints of their CoV-2-And-You research to publications in ~November. Broad early takeaways are that (1) yes OAS is an issue with CoV-2 much like it's an issue with CHCs, this was broadly expected (2) several answers are proposed for last year's mystery of "guys where did everyone's T cells go in these convalescent and months-after-infection blood samples?" and perhaps some of the proposed methods of action will get weeded out in review it's the synthesis of 1+2 that gets divisive quickly, so that needs many concurring opinions by well respected investigators before accepting anything because, well, immunity is loving intensely complex magical poo poo!

dwarf74 posted:our entire understanding of the human immune system (musing to the room, not at you) I think the biggest gripe I have with some of my friends and family through the pandemic is the notion that reinfection must be gentler, per the sum of medical knowledge. Does it? Any person can think of their lived experience. We each get infected by Common Human Coronaviruses (often responsible for common colds) regularly enough. We regularly get influenza reinfections. Over time, genetic drift provides younger strains immune escape capacity, and we get the flu again. Sometimes the infection is nothing, sometimes it sucks. None of this is controversial, yes? Even without getting into potentially-controversial topics like tissue scarring or accelerated immune ageing, to insist that subsequent variants of a disease must be gentler by rule of prior medical understanding is to misinterpret the pathology of some of our most familiar pests.

Not to mention the fact that it’s difficult to correctly identify and properly disentangle causality of accumulating health damage. Just look at how long the effects of leaded gas took to pinpoint. Or the fact that we’re only now discovering that the Epstein-Barr virus (which eventually infects about 90% of people) may be the primary direct cause of MS.

haveblue posted:That didn't actually take very long at all, doing something about it took decades because of all the business interests involved Scientists knew that lead was poisonous in high quantities and many initially suspected that leased gasoline would produce enough contamination to cause problems. But then the Public Health Service decided that the quantity of lead was small enough that it wasn’t a problem, and it took 40+ years to collect evidence about its specific effects and build enough scientific consensus to force action. We all know infectious diseases are hazardous to our health but the specifics of their long-term effects are similarly murky. It’s especially difficult to tease apart effects when diseases are so prevalent that nearly everyone catches them frequently. Stickman fucked around with this message at 18:02 on Jan 25, 2022 |

Apparently there was some NY State lawsuit where some judge ruled classroom mask rules unconstitutional, so I woke up to an email (sent late last night) that said masks were now optional in my daughter's school district. The CHUD parents are celebrating and parroting the "it's your ~personal choice~ if you want to wear a mask, just like it's your ~personal choice~ if you want to keep your kids home and home school them" lines that are fully of selfish attitude. It's all using children as political pawns as usual, because there's already an appeal filed and I've heard as soon as a stay is granted, it's right back to mandatory masks. Which will confuse the hell out of kids - it's already happened once before, last year.

Every athlete crossing that border will be quarantined, isolated, and PCR tested repeatedly over a span of at least two weeks before going straight into the Olympic Village bubble. Spectators will be following the standard quarantine + test that everyone entering the country undergoes. Around four million people visit China every year during normal times, I'm sure that number is a hell of a lot lower right now, but it's large enough to be a perfectly good example of how to bring thousands of people in without causing significant outbreaks.

My wife is an 8th grade teacher in a more rural district in NY and the kids who were already showing up in Blue Lives Matter gaiters were just showing up without any masks at all today. One kid got written up through six straight periods for refusing to wear a mask and loudly proclaiming his Constitutional Rights and the Nassau ruling when confronted. Admin there is a loving joke and I know they won’t stick up for their teachers, based on everything I’ve seen thus far. You’d figure they’d toss that kid into ISS by about the third write-up in a day, but nope, he’ll be right there in her last period class, when the kids are already at their rowdiest as is. Between seeing my brother’s working conditions in the COVID units as a nurse and the unending nightmare of the American education system my wife is dealing with (wasn’t peachy at her district pre-COVID, this year has been as bad as or worse than early 2020), I really don’t see how much longer these systems can hold up before we start seeing some ~really fun~ responses.

I hope you continue to be correct, because the failure of zero-covid with a fast-spreading strain like Omicron will probably be far worse than other countries had with earlier strains. Countries that followed a managed-burn policy decently like DK avoided overwhelming their critical care facilities and by the time Omicron showed up, it has caused ICU and ventilator use to drop. We know vaccination doesn't stop omicron, but it does limit ICU use.

quote:Not only does the Chinese population have essentially no natural immunity from previous infections, thanks to the Zero-Covid strategy; the inferior Chinese-made vaccines also offer little protection against omicron. I always find it weird when America/British commentators crow about how their countries have developed more "natural immunity" - yeah, by racking up hundreds of thousands of corpses and tens of millions of sick people. The absolute worst-case scenario for China at this point means they just... will also go through that and develop that same natural immunity? Except not even, because they are vaccinated even if their vaccine isn't as good? It's like sitting in the ashes of your house and expressing faux concern for your neighbour because if their house ever burns down, it will be really devastating for them - an emotional turmoil which you, fortunately, have already weathered. virtualboyCOLOR posted:It will be a test what China is able to accomplish with their zero covid policy.

Looking for data on whether boosters reduce transmission of Omicron and came across this Danish study on household secondary attack rates: https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.12.27.21268278v1 Am I interpreting this chart correctly? Having a booster reduces your odds of becoming infected by Omicron by about half (column 1)? And having a booster also reduces the odds of infecting someone else with Omicron by about a third (column 3)? Noting that these odds are given relative to fully-vaccinated individuals, can we use the same numbers to calculate the reduction in odds of an infected (but boosted) person transmitting Omicron to another boosted person, relative to the odds if both people were unvaccinated?

I said "health authorities" and the CDC is not particularly foremost in my mind when I use that phrase, but in a 2-year pandemic I'd rather see something more recent than mid-2020. If reinfections being of increased severity were particularly likely (or even not unlikely) I feel like more of an alert would've been raised by now. Instead I've seen health authorities saying that if someone has previously been infected by COVID their body is more likely to mount a better immune response than if they're immunologically naive. Incidentally, what is the highest number of infections someone's gone through? I remember it wasn't until late 2020 there was the first incident of someone in China or Hong Kong testing positive again, but there must be people out there who've had it three or four time by now. virtualboyCOLOR posted:Glass Houses etc etc: Overzealous American cops failing to discriminate against journos during mass street protests is not remotely the same ballpark as ongoing, top-down intimidation by the actual government.

To get the estimated OR for a boosted vs unvaccinated susceptible household member, we can just divide the two respective ORs: We can do the same for the OR for the index case. Because the model assumes that the effects of vax status of the index case and status of the susceptible household member are independent (and that transmissibility is identical for Omicron and Delta households), we would just multiply to get the OR considering both susceptible and index case status: Unfortunately, there's no way to compute confidence intervals without additional information about the covariances of ORs (technically covariances of log ORs). There's a couple of big caveats, but the biggest is the assumption that transmissibility is the same between variants. They apparently included some degree of model selection because the stratification of susceptibility was only included after the interaction was found to be statistically significant, but it's usually a good idea to include theoretically plausible interactions regardless of the statistical significance in a particular model fit. It also seems plausible that the source and susceptible vax status may not be independent, though they likely didn't have a sufficient sample to estimate all pairs separately. There are also potential unadjusted confounders like behavior, distancing, mask wearing, etc. E: Also keep in mind that is is the reduction in transmission odds within a household over 7 days. In other settings and over different time periods the reduction might be different. Stickman fucked around with this message at 05:49 on Jan 26, 2022 |

Masks are back on in the school district. A whole 24 hours of no masks. Elementary school kids were fine, but upper grades descended into bullying kids who still wore masks. And the parents aren't any better.

It would be much better if children bullied those who did not wear masks.
