Does anyone have some (literature, or news) sources about this new variant causing upset stomach? My boss has two kids that are exorcist puking everywhere and even though she is "feeling unwell too" I think she might come in unless I can gently suggest this might be COVID. Honestly I don't see why you'd come in if it was "only" a norovirus but :shrug:

At any given time a new COVID immune evasion mutation has the chance to infect very roughly one billion humans within a year. In prehistoric (pre-agricultural) times a similar viral mutation might be able to infect maybe one thousand people in a year? Just given how slowly people move over land, overall lower population densities and transmission opportunities

Assuming total viral mutation opportunities scale in proportion to the number of infections, this implies COVID can evolve very roughly one million times faster now then a similar prehistorical virus would have evolved. Or every calendar year for COVID is effectively equivalent to one million years of typical prehistoric viral evolution.

This can't be right.

yeah, i was thinking about this the other day. prehistoric societies were small and insular. the chances of viral burn out were possible. we're like all the concentrated animal feeding operation poultry getting AI right now.

Are they also counting Hong Kong into their cases numbers? Because uhhhh.... oof

That's mainland China, I'm afraid. It's been showing all the signs of taking off for a couple weeks. They tried real hard, but they never got infections back down and it was only a matter of time.

There's an outbreak in one of the provinces that borders North Korea too. Jilin I think.

A large bat colony might consist of several thousand individuals. So a mutated virus to which bats are immune naive could infect maybe 10000 to 100000 bats per year, including potential reinfections or maybe bats move between colonies sometimes. So SARS-COV-2 in humans is potentially evolving only 10000 to 100000 times faster than its ancestor ever could in bat populations. Also bats never achieved herd immunity, someone should tell them that's a thing.

Would be neat to get an answer, just for fun!

For one thing Shanghai is the world's busiest container port, so it's not even just what's produced there locally but supplies of what's shipped from there to everywhere else that will be impacted.

edit: apparently the Shanghai lockdown only really started last Monday, so it might be too early yet to see the impact in case counts due to the extended viral incubation period. Should be clearer in a week.

Worldometers shows 1,506 cases, so I suspect Hong Kong is about 11,600 cases unless BNO is including 2nd, 3rd, 47th, etc. positives and not completely new cases.

They probably just haven't updated. Google uses Johns Hopkins data and they reported about 10k new cases yesterday. The numbers keep getting revised upward in the Johns Hopkins data too.

At NCAA wrestling a couple weeks ago the crowds were totally unmasked but there were a bunch of random refs, mat officials, and photographers masked up so I assume it’s not a rule but just everyone giving up.

Update: literally two masks seen in the game, on (1) Roy Williams, UNC’s former coach and (2) his wife I think.
