But academic publications like that do get attention. That sounds like a great idea for a paper, and already has the most important ingredient for success in any scientific endeavor involving lots of tedious work: revenge

Hey thread, got a quick question. My SO and I both caught covid at the same time/place and we're now at a point 9 days on and after a course of paxlovid that she is testing negative but I'm still positive despite feeling mostly normal again. Is there a chance I could re-infect her with the same thing we already had? We're just trying to figure out if I should be in isolation or how to handle being together in the same space.

The Oldest Man posted:drat this is pretty good news to see systemic immune performance like this after the kind of disappointing ChAdOx1 result. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41541-023-00717-8 It's interesting that the humoral response was better with the intranasal vaccine (especially for omicron), but otoh it doesn't look like it really made a difference in terms of IgA-ASC's even though they say it's "statistically significant". And I don't even see a plot or table anywhere with the sIgA measurements. Idk maybe need to read more carefully later but as far as the "intranasal vax = better mucosal immunity" hypothesis goes this is kind of disappointing result imo

I love that BA.2.86 is a super hosed up mutant, but because none of its intermediates were sequenced and entered into databases, it gets a comparatively simple PANGO designation, versus something like EG.5 that has an ancestor that was a recombinant between two BA branches, so had to get an X designation, but then that string of numbers got too long so a new set of letters had to be assigned.

It's very helpfu...oh lol lmao Guess I should start posting the Washington state variants here every week like I do for reddit since you guys don't get to see anything from the PNW anymore. Anyway, best guess as to why the CDC is limiting the Nowcast info is because there aren't enough sequences being done from those communities to make an inference with their model. Lovely.

Lovely. That can’t be true. National COVID-19 Preparedness Plan Prepare for New Variants As we work to keep ourselves protected against COVID-19, America must remain prepared for any new variant that may come our way. To do so, the Administration has developed a comprehensive plan for how we monitor this virus to stay ahead of it, adapt our tools swiftly to combat a new variant, and deploy emergency resources to help communities. Before January 2021, the federal government had insufficient data and sequencing capabilities and was ill-equipped to respond to new variants. Electronic case reporting was in place for only a handful of states in 2020 and the country could sequence only 3,000 viral isolates per week. America had no plan for responding to a new variant or standing up comprehensive efforts to respond to a surge in COVID-19 cases. The Administration has enhanced our collection, production, and analysis of data, and expanded electronic case reporting to all 50 states, Washington D.C., Puerto Rico, and thousands of health care facilities. The CDC now tracks a range of key COVID-19 response metrics including cases, tests, vaccinations, and hospital admissions in real-time. Additionally, the CDC launched – and is continually enhancing – the National Wastewater Surveillance System (NWSS) to track the presence of SARS-COV-2 in wastewater samples collected across the country. And America has established a world-class sequencing operation, sequencing up to 90,000 isolates a week. The CDC’s sequencing efforts can now reliably detect variants that account for as little as 0.1% of all COVID-19 cases circulating in the United States. And when new variants are identified, the federal government has a network of researchers – federal, academic, and commercial – who are able to study the sequence and assess mutations rapidly, allowing the government to respond quickly to concerning variants. The Administration has also successfully built a robust emergency response infrastructure. Our surge response – led by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and HHS – developed capabilities to stand up over 100 federal mass vaccination sites and federal surge testing sites; distribute millions of critical supplies; and deploy thousands of federal clinical and non-clinical personnel to support states, Tribes, and territories. Since July 2021, the federal government has deployed over 4,000 military and non-military personnel including doctors, nurses, and paramedics; sent over 3,400 ventilators, ambulances, and other critical supplies; and shipped over 115 million pieces of PPE. And over the last year, FEMA has invested $300 million in state hospital preparedness to expand hospital capacity in 38 states. Moving forward, the Administration will maintain our proven data, sequencing, variant response, and surge response capabilities. The CDC will continue to improve COVID-19 data collection, reporting, and analysis so America is better informed and ready to respond to new variants. And if new variants emerge, the federal government will leverage established playbooks to assess a new variant’s impact on our vaccines, treatments, and tests, and rapidly deploy the tools, personnel, and resources Americans need. America will also retain a significant stockpile of tools to combat COVID-19 that remain ready for deployment. The Administration will work with Congress to secure the necessary funding to:

Have YOU suffered from 'pre-Covid'? Phenomenon that sees symptoms appear week before positive test is on the rise again as variant Eris sweeps US posted:You've probably experienced it at some point during the Covid pandemic — you fall sick with all the symptoms of the virus but consistently test negative. Then a week or so later, you take a turn for the worse and feel even more ill — and, perhaps miraculously, a test returns a positive result. The phenomenon, dubbed 'pre-Covid', is taking hold again amid a fresh uptick in infections from the virus. then a couple of quotes from doctors who say things that, if the pre-positive period is now a week, are wrong or irrelevant, and if not, mean the story is pointless because nothing has changed quote:People suffering flu-like symptoms who are testing negative for Covid could also have other diseases, however, such as the common cold. Explaining the pre-Covid phenomenon, Dr Stuart Fischer, an emergency medicine expert in New York City, told DailyMail.com: 'The symptoms that people relate might be their immune response to Covid [being triggered] from past exposure or vaccination. [fine] ... Asked how long this phase might last before someone tests positive for Covid, he said it would not be beyond a couple of days. [but what about a week?] Dr Fischer added that it was also possible for someone to have the symptoms, have Covid, but never actually test positive. [but the pre-COVID description is that they end up testing positive?] He said this was because the immune system would kick in and remove the virus before it had managed to gain a foothold. [but it did gain a foothold if they tested positive] i normally don't bother posting stuff from the UK press, but here's another of the Daily Mail's recent-ish COVID articles where a doctor suggests masking up again because of cases, so for balance the Mail (mildly) implies masks are responsible for hampering child development Doctor on PBS says people should start masking up amid small Covid uptick... even in your own HOME posted:An epidemiologist said that Americans should still mask up inside, potentially even inside their own homes, amid the latest Covid-19 surge. Dr Katelyn Jetelina, epidemiologist at the University of Texas, told PBS News Hour last week that Americans should still 'be wearing masks in crowded areas, especially during a surge.' She also appeared to endorse wearing masks in your own home 'if you want to reduce household transmission.' they also went all-in on that incredibly poo poo "masks damage health" study before it was criticised / retracted and they had to edit their story i forget where i was going with this, but: the Daily Mail is poo poo. gently caress i hate the British press

The previous thread is linked in the OP (https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3997695, for quick reference, others are there too), but the reboot is intended to be a fresh start that's been working well so try to err on the side of not picking at any intergenerational scabs.

Platystemon posted:That can’t be true. Yeah, so much of that just isn't true anymore and I put a lot of blame on the public emergency ending earlier this year. The amount of sequences done per month for Washington state in Feb. compared to June went from over 2,000 to just 229 (60+ of which were from a separate airport surveillance program at SeaTac). July has at least edged up past 300 sequences. And we're one of the "good ones" when it comes to states reporting. Oregon only reported 59 sequences from the entirety of June and a whopping 67 for July. Compare that to sequences from July of last year, Oregon reported over 2,400 and Washington reported over 6,900!
