https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IESXrvrz__Y I find this video fascinating and a little bit hilarious given the same poo poo to play down the pandemic was being said then as it is being said now. It's a good video.

My in-laws got covid this week, and based on the timing it was probably from their big labor day party. "apparently it's back" is how the text ended. This sucks, man.

Anyone have the link to the excel sheet of best performing air purifiers? I’ve gotten permission to buy some for my classrooms and we have a limited number of vendors I can go through, so I want some stats to base my choices on. Thanks in advance.

I rang my brother and found out he was taking a sick day off work which is highly unusual for him, he's one of those workaholics who goes stir crazy if they're away from the office and he usually pushes through anything which doesn't require hospitalization. Apparently he's been sick with "a cold" for over a week now but he went in last week anyway and apparently infected the entire office and now half of them are off sick as well. He guesses he got it from his SO, she was sick with something for over a month (which I hadn't heard about until he mentioned it offhand). He's absolutely adamant it's not covid because he took a single test which came out negative. Many such cases. Edit: also it's my dad's birthday tomorrow and I'm pretty certain he'll go visit him

Pingui posted:“Editorial FOMO drove summer surge worries,” Moore said, using an acronym for “fear of missing out.” Despite worrying comments and tweets by physicians such as Eric Topol, director of the Scripps Research Translational Institute, about a new COVID variant called BA.2.86, “it turned out to be a real nothingburger,” Moore said. All those wildfires are just a nothingburger because they started as a small lit cigarette butt tossed in some dry grasses

Minor study on the first 10 Danish BA.2.86 cases, which is interesting if exceedingly nerdy:https://www.eurosurveillance.org/content/10.2807/1560-7917.ES.2023.28.36.2300460 posted:First cases of SARS-CoV-2 BA.2.86 in Denmark, 2023 tl;dr: There are some interesting conclusions here, one of which I've mentioned before, namely that BA.2.86 and BA.2.86.1 are simultaneously circulating internationally. The specifics of the Danish monitoring system is probably not interesting to anyone but me (beyond the surveillance testing in companies), but I will note the data on the variant-PCR, as it mentions the specific PCR test changes needed to detect BA.2.86 specifically (as opposed to merely COVID+). It is also worth noting (with the carve-out for below 18) that all had at least 3 doses of vaccine (which is the standard in Denmark), some had a fourth bivalent dose and - while the data here only have PCR verified infections for half - I can virtually guarantee that all have had BA.2 at least once (ed. because that corresponds with the percentage of Danes that got a PCR positive test during that wave, but a bunch never got tested, because why would you when your household/workplace/school/etc. already confirmed and you have the same symptoms...). It should also be noted that they didn't manage to isolate the virus. Beyond the actual study, the addendum is somewhat interesting - it further specifies the variant-PCR - but mainly for this: https://www.eurosurveillance.org/de...3.28.36.2300460 posted:
Edit: Forgot one of the most important parts. The time to most recent common ancestor was estimated to be 15 June 2023 with a 95% HPD between 9 April to 24 July 2023. Indicating that this is an extremely new variant (as was my fear), that could have been found more or less immediately, though likely within 1½ months.

I wonder if it's because they were using the wrong cells to isolate it since apparently someone else had a much better success using some lung cancer cells instead of the typical ACE2 kidney cells? https://twitter.com/ShanLuLiu1/status/1701029792571592936

Zugzwang posted:Wondering how we can compare this with BA.1 given the current variant landscape. BA.1 had the distinct advantage of really only having to outcompete Delta, since Delta had so thoroughly thrashed all the other variants. These two need to outcompete a bunch of other stuff. 60-70-80-90% I’ll fix after work

So partner was feeling better at the end of last week, then on Sunday had a big rebound and today is feeling absolutely terrible. She is completely convinced that it's entirely due to Paxlovid, because her brother, who got got at the same time as her and did not take Pax, is feeling most of the way better now. It's very cool how I can't even succeed at accurate science communication within my own household with someone who already trusts me! I love it!

That happens op. Like your partner remember how dumb you were for putting the toilet paper the wrong way or putting the knives in the dishwasher the wrong direction, so they do love you and cherish you but they also remember all the time you were wrong so they might not believe you when all the 'experts' say otherwise

Thread rec: I've been reading Immune: A Journey into the Mysterious System That Keeps You Alive by the guy who makes the Kurzgesagt youtube channel. At first it was because I wanted to be able to make more sense of the many scientific papers that life in 2023 thrusts upon you. Now I'm simply just fascinated. It's a very layman friendly explanation of our current understanding of the immune system. My favorite "wow" so far is that a component of sexual attraction is that we can smell our partner's immune system, and are drawn to those with different antigen presenting receptors.

He was apparently only half-listening when I told him a new booster was coming out in the next couple of days and his doctor didn't correct him when he asked for one. I had him check to make sure it wasn't the old bivalent and sure enough, it was. He cancelled but boy am I glad he asked first (he'd gone in for bloodwork and was going to get a flu shot and figured 'while I'm here....') I wonder how many people who are also only half-listening are making that mistake. And why they're even still offering the old one in the first place.
