There's still an OSHA billboard that straight up shows a guy in an n95 and says "be covid smart to protect yourself and others" near me. Right next to the freeway and everything. I get a good chuckle every time I drive by it.

Question for the thread, now that we are starting on a new thread. I use the [quote] function on the site, so people quoting the post doesn't result in having to scroll too much. However it also has the downside of excluding the contents of the quote when searching the thread, making it more difficult to find again. Do people have a preference between the following: 1) change nothing. 2) ditch the quote tag entirely. 3) have headline outside the quote tag, but otherwise keep the text in quotes. 4) put research out of quotes, but keep doing newspapers in quotes. 5) some other mix?

Fun fact, your use of the opening quote tag made this quote of your post empty too I think 3 seems good, since it provides a way to find the original content without taking up much space. Thanks for all the great stuff you post.

Third BA.2.86/BA.X infection found in Denmark (Danish only): https://www.ssi.dk/aktuelt/nyheder/2023/tredje-fund-af-undervarianten-ba-2-86 The cases are from different parts of the country and do not appear to be linked. I should note that while 50%-70% of cases in Denmark are usually sequenced, for week 30 (when the first case was discovered) only 27 out of 110 positives (24.5%) have been sequenced. Week 31 and up nominally sits at 0%, though obviously that isn't true when they just found a new case. Source: https://www.covid19genomics.dk/statistics It should probably also be noted that it is extremely common for Danes to travel abroad during the summer/"industrial" vacation, so I would not be shocked if these people got infected at the airport. It is odd that it isn't mentioned what their travel history is, though the "unconnected" part makes me think they didn't all travel to Israel or it would have been specified.

Poppers posted:Like TB and influenza have orders of magnitude difference in how likely they are to infect you if you’re in the room with a surg mask vs a respirator I don’t know about multiple orders of magnitude, but you are correct that there is a great difference. The difference is in favor of influenza. From WHO’s Tuberculosis and Air Travel: Guidelines For Prevention and Control, third edition, 2008 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK143710/ posted:No cases of TB disease have so far been reported among those known to have been infected with M. tuberculosis during air travel. From 1992 to 1994, the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), together with state and local health departments, conducted contact investigations for seven index cases, involving one cabin-crew member and six passengers with infectious TB disease who had flown during this period. The concern was that the closed aircraft cabin environment may have facilitated transmission of M. tuberculosis (6–11). The total number of potentially exposed passengers and cabin crew exceeded 2600 on 191 flights involving nine different types of aircraft. And from a 2016 review on doubly airborne influenza, https://doi.org/10.1097%2FEDE.0000000000000438 posted:We identified 14 peer-reviewed publications describing contact tracing of passengers after possible exposure to influenza virus aboard an aircraft. Contact tracing during the initial phase of the influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 pandemic was described in 11 publications. The studies describe the follow-up of 2,165 (51%) of 4,252 traceable passengers. Altogether, 163 secondary cases were identified resulting in an overall secondary attack rate among traced passengers of 7.5%. Of these secondary cases, 68 (42%) were seated within two rows of the index case. Influenza has put up incredible numbers on planes before. Way back in 1979, https://doi.org/10.1093/oxfordjournals.aje.a112781 posted:A jet airliner with 54 persons aboard was delayed on the ground for three hours because of engine failure during a takeoff attempt. Most passengers stayed on the airplane during the delay. Within 72 hours, 72 per cent of the passengers became ill with symptoms of cough, fever, fatigue, headache, sore throat and myalgia. One passenger, the apparent index case, was ill on the airplane, and the clinical attack rate among the others varied with the amount of time spent aboard. Virus antigenically similar to A/Texas/1/77(H3N2) was isolated from 8 of 31 passengers cultured, and 20 of 22 ill persons tested had serologic evidence of infection with this virus. The airplane ventilation system was inoperative during the delay and this may account for the high attack rate. It was under enhanced conditions, but no matter what, droplets cannot do that.

Zantie posted:[…]We don't know yet how quickly BA.2.86 is spreading or just how immune evasive it is because it's too early to tell. In general though it's a lot harder for our immune system to recognize and mount a quick response, whether it be from prior infection or vaccination or both, when a new one looks this different. A fifth case has now been found, in London. Would anyone offer an opinion that BA.2.86 is anything other than the most interesting and concerning strain identified since Omicron in November 2021?

Remember when that scientist said that with the continuing evolution of the virus, we would see a major Omicron-like shift in the virus about every 3-5 years? Lmao

https://twitter.com/shay_fleishon/status/1692531498576916878 Tl;dr: the guy who I think spotted this one thinks it no longer qualifies as Omicron. make sure you get your swab technique right more then ever, with this sort of highly derived variant you want to get it done as correctly as possible to get good results. https://twitter.com/DrEricLevi/status/1473185815597510656?t=h8U2Lbu8DG5sS4cf8nvwoQ&s=19

There's also some potentially very bad news on the influenza front:posted:Phylogenetic analyses further suggest that several introductions from birds to the fur animals may have taken place but are also consistent with possible transmission among the fur animals themselves and potentially even between species. Transmission between fur animals is also supported by the general epidemiological pattern of several hundreds of sick and dead animals on the 20 farms (mortality on affected farms has been 2–4 times the normal rate and, at the peak of the outbreak, a large farm recorded almost 400 deaths in one day, which is 10 times the normal rate). The exact mechanism of the transmission within and between farms is, however, not yet known. Some evidence for adaptation to replication in mammals is evident, as the PB2 gene E627K change was detected in samples from one farm and the T271A change in a sample from another farm.

Weekly Australia update: hospitalizations dropped again, 6.2% lower than the previous week. Twitter source The usual caveats apply: every state has different covid hospitalization reporting criteria, etc etc Deaths are also down but the reporting there is super fucky. Here's a great example why: the entire state of Queensland (which has the third highest population of all Aus states) stopped reporting the exact weekly number of covid deaths a while ago and now they're only reporting the average of the reported deaths which occurred the previous week. But quite a lot of deaths take longer than a week to get reported and they apparently don't post updates so more than half of their covid deaths might be hidden by that lag Twitter source
