de-facto | http://offloop.net/covid19/?default=EU;US;Canada&byPopulation=yes&cumulative=no&smooth=yes | 00:34 |
de-facto | ok seems like Canada is having a decline since mid of April after its steep rise | 00:35 |
de-facto | still above US and slower decline than it | 00:36 |
ryouma | would be great if cumulative could take into account antibodies (not saying it could) | 00:37 |
de-facto | so roughly for each 4 cases in Canada there are 3 cases in US right now | 00:38 |
LjL | yeah it can't, there are no official antibody numbers for most countries | 00:38 |
LjL | i was looking at italy on offloop... well, at US vs Italy, but then i paid attention to Italy alone | 00:38 |
LjL | non-cumulative | 00:38 |
ryouma | or even infected within a certain time numbers | 00:38 |
LjL | i noticed that when you factor out the various spike, there is a sort of general growing trend anyway | 00:39 |
LjL | it might be because each time the virus is better adapted | 00:39 |
de-facto | last summer there were some antibody surveys in Germany, they found 4-6 times more cases than officially detected via PCR, but than in the first wave (spring 2020) there was not as much testing in Germany as we have it right now (only symptomatic or contacts back then) | 00:39 |
LjL | anyway we're now "out of a spike" but with numbers that are double the numbers we had in the first wave | 00:39 |
LjL | (granted, we weren't testing enough) | 00:39 |
LjL | and last summer we had practically no cases for quite a while | 00:40 |
LjL | de-facto, they still only test symptomatic people here or contacts, you won't get tested just because you feel like it | 00:40 |
LjL | here* | 00:40 |
de-facto | here i could go to city at any daytime and get a quicktest and if its positive i get an PCR | 00:41 |
de-facto | when its negative i could go into stores with the certificate | 00:41 |
ryouma | why is arizona wihtout testing showing up | 00:42 |
de-facto | what i mean is that those 4-6 fold seroprevalence compared to PCR prevalence probably does not apply anymore, we need new surveys | 00:42 |
LjL | de-facto, you can't go to stores without a negative test certificate? | 00:43 |
de-facto | not right now, except supermarkets and pharmacies | 00:43 |
LjL | oh wow | 00:43 |
de-facto | otherwise stores would have to be closed | 00:43 |
LjL | well, they've been open here again for quite a while... :\ | 00:44 |
Brainstorm | New from r/WorldNews: worldnews: Canada Will Require Using A Vaccine Passport For Entry → https://is.gd/6tTN7h | 00:44 |
LjL | i mean, you know italy's measures aren't uniform. but in Lombardy and in most regions, they have | 00:44 |
de-facto | to be honest i dont think the infecitons happen in the stores, i think they would happen more in crowds and queues | 00:44 |
ryouma | what is a vaccine passport? i know there has always been vaccine certifications required for visas. | 00:44 |
LjL | ryouma, just a fancier name for the same thing except now it will be required everywhere by everyone | 00:44 |
de-facto | or public transport if its crowded due to people going for shopping again etc | 00:44 |
LjL | and the EU and presumably other groups of countries are agreeing to a common format for it | 00:45 |
ryouma | why isn't the hvac industry going bananas. or is it. | 00:45 |
LjL | in the EU it will basically be a QR code, from what i understand, encoding whether you have been vaccinated, have had COVID, or have a recent negative test | 00:45 |
de-facto | yeah vaccine passports dont get me started on those, they currently are discussing taking back all restrictions for vaccinated | 00:45 |
de-facto | question: where is the scientific study proving that vaccinated 1) cant be infected 2) cant transmit the infection? | 00:46 |
LjL | nowhere is there such a study with stringent results | 00:46 |
de-facto | reminder: AZ was so poor against B.1.351 that SA did not want it | 00:46 |
LjL | but i don't think that's the issue honestly | 00:46 |
LjL | if AZ is poor, it's going to act poorly anyway | 00:46 |
LjL | even if people don't travel, B.1.351 is already everywhere | 00:47 |
LjL | if AZ doesn't stop infections from it, it will "just" become prevalent | 00:47 |
de-facto | vaccines might protect against severe progressions, but that does not mean that all restrictions could just be taken back for vaccinated with any vaccine against any VoC | 00:47 |
LjL | ah right you're talking about the restrictions now, not the vaccines | 00:47 |
de-facto | but they are jurists, they are too stupid to understand probabilities | 00:47 |
LjL | but look, when do you think restrictions *could* be loosened? if you tell people "only when we have zero cases", everyone will laugh at you. you need to find a solution that people will take on board | 00:48 |
Robinson | Ye | 00:48 |
de-facto | yes i know, but they have to tell people the truth, otherwise they lose their trust | 00:49 |
de-facto | what if they will have to put back restrictions because they realize vaccines have breakthrough by some mutants? | 00:49 |
LjL | then they'll say "we couldn't anticipate this, hold tight for longer, we'll get out of it" | 00:50 |
LjL | and again, i guess :\ | 00:50 |
de-facto | yeah well vaccinations might help with bringing down incidence, but they cant replace distancing | 00:51 |
de-facto | i guess we will see, but i think its a mistake to take back restrictions for vaccinated | 00:51 |
dTal | so what, we distance forever then | 00:52 |
de-facto | (apart from it being unfair to the ones fhat did not get an offer yet) | 00:52 |
de-facto | not distancing forever, but for as long as we have high incidence scenario | 00:52 |
de-facto | reproduction = contact_rate * transmissibility * duration_of_infectiousness, when we trade contact_rate for transmissibility * duraction_of_infectiousness we might end up just at the same reproduction than before | 00:54 |
de-facto | but if we dont allow contact_rate to increase for vaccinated it will bring down reproduction and therefore incidence hence help the whole population to come faster and closer to the common goal to get rid of the problems with the damn virus | 00:55 |
de-facto | in fact the current generation of vaccines never were designed to prevent transmission, with their intramuscular injection they were designed to prevent severe progressions, and that is what they achieve | 00:56 |
de-facto | for vaccines that prevent transmission we would need some that induce IgA antibody response on the mucus of the nasal and pharyngeal regions | 00:57 |
de-facto | i think they are in the pipeline | 00:58 |
ryouma | i have a problem with authorities catering to the status quo opinions of the masses instead of trying to communicate with them the truth. they shouldn't say oh you don't have to do whatever anymore because you are vaccinated as an inducement to vaccinate if there is not a good reason for it otherwise. | 01:00 |
ryouma | i think they have a positive duty to inform the public of the truth even if the public currently does not accept it. | 01:00 |
ryouma | otherwise leaders follow and you get recursive insanity | 01:01 |
de-facto | i guess we will see, but i dont like that politicians are just playing with the fire and the only effective weapon we have against COVID, why do they risk import and transmission of evasive mutants breaking through vaccinations with allowing all vaccinated (with any vaccine for any time) to drop containment measures completely | 01:01 |
de-facto | ryouma, yeah thats exactly the reason they want to take back restrictions, to motivate more people to go for a vaccination | 01:02 |
ryouma | i thinkt hat's wrong. i think they need to educate. | 01:02 |
ryouma | i know it is a tall order | 01:02 |
de-facto | i am pretty sure more than enough people will happily take a vaccination offer just to mitigate the risk of severe progression for themselves | 01:03 |
de-facto | and right now there are not enough vaccines for everyone anyhow | 01:03 |
ryouma | but you kind of have to do it. a lot of places wil just sort of keep the same reproduction rate if you don't | 01:03 |
de-facto | supply wont be able to satisfy the demand for long time | 01:04 |
de-facto | yes thats the only thing that matters: incidence | 01:05 |
de-facto | everything else is just a consequence of that | 01:05 |
de-facto | although https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/israel/ gives some hope, their cases go down and down | 01:09 |
de-facto | i really do hope that it will continue like that for them (and everyone else at that level of population vaccination) | 01:10 |
de-facto | that really looks very good, question is how many evasive mutants are involved (or hopefully wont become involved) | 01:11 |
de-facto | but we need to have scientific studies evaluating the vaccine breakthrough risks for all the VoCs and also transmission probability | 01:14 |
de-facto | only based on that politicians should be allowed to take back proven to be effective containment measures | 01:15 |
de-facto | everything else is gambling and thats not their job in this situation | 01:15 |
LjL | de-facto, i think mRNA vaccines will turn out to prevent transmission fine (and things are already pointing in that direction) | 01:16 |
LjL | if they don't with variants, well that's a problem with variants not vaccines that weren't designed for them | 01:16 |
de-facto | well yeah they might be working fine for the current variants and the studies evaluating that at their peak protection value, but both will erode the protection with time, waning off immunity as well as bruteforcing mutants getting better and better at their evasion | 01:19 |
de-facto | LjL, so yeah when we are lucky mRNA vaccinations will bring down incidence fast enough that there just is not enough pathogen in the population anymore for that to happen, hence infection chains dying off, but that is a question of vaccination rates vs incidence | 01:21 |
de-facto | the vaccinations did a fantastic job at preventing fatal outcomes though so far, and probably that will continue like that | 01:22 |
de-facto | that by itself already is a really awesome achievement, saving a LOT of lives | 01:24 |
de-facto | i am just against starting to not take it serious anymore just because we have something that works for now | 01:25 |
de-facto | afaik UK does NOT take back restrictions for vaccinated, instead they investigate breakthroughs | 01:25 |
de-facto | THAT is how we should do it aswell imho | 01:25 |
de-facto | btw out of curiosity are there any breakthrough studies for B.1.617 in India? | 01:28 |
de-facto | i.e. do we know how well their fully vaccinated are protected against infection and hospitalization with B.1.617? | 01:28 |
de-facto | same for P.1 in Brazil | 01:29 |
de-facto | .title https://www.nature.com/articles/s41577-021-00556-5 | 01:35 |
Brainstorm | de-facto: From www.nature.com: Will SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern affect the promise of vaccines? | Nature Reviews Immunology | 01:35 |
de-facto | i think the good news are that once we managed to bring down incidence worldwide it also means bruteforcing the immunity is reduced hence the likelihood of evasive mutants emerging much lower | 01:40 |
de-facto | but that means politicians have to stop sabotaging that by ensuring incidence stays high with immediately opening once a situation is somewhat stabilized | 01:41 |
LjL | i see "Michigan is now hospitalizing more people under 40 than those over 80 for COVID-19" https://www.mlive.com/public-interest/2021/05/michigan-is-now-hospitalizing-more-people-under-40-than-those-over-80-for-covid-19.html | 01:48 |
LjL | i think we must be careful when spikes seem small but in reality they are "large" spikes that are lessened by the vaccine, but only on certain categories of people | 01:48 |
LjL | it's good that the elderly are more protected now, but not so good if we take that as an excuse to let a similar number of younger people have serious disease | 01:49 |
LjL | "oh but young people don't often get serious disease", they'll get it pretty often if it's ravaging through them | 01:49 |
de-facto | yes 100% ack | 01:50 |
de-facto | and the problem with tolerating large spikes is that when the only limiting factor taken into consideration is not to overwhelm the healthcare system we ignore that for the younger people there are exponentially more infections per one hospitalized case than for the elderly before | 01:52 |
de-facto | hence exponentially more breeding of mutants if incidence is just ignored | 01:52 |
ryouma | what do you mean by exponentially | 01:52 |
rpifan | mutations* | 01:56 |
rpifan | no xmen corona | 01:56 |
de-facto | disease severity probably is an exponential function of age, just as are fatal progressions | 01:57 |
rpifan | well france is gonan reopen its stuff | 01:58 |
rpifan | with over 400 cases por 100,000 | 01:58 |
ryouma | it is a possible concern if populations get mild less monitored versions in large numbers. long covid can result from those also. and if propaganda succeeds in downplaying long covid, then nobody will care enough to prevent it. and then the nubmers of both will rise and rise and rise. | 01:58 |

Robinson | Yeah | 03:35 |
de-facto | i bet business owners in Australia or NZ like that their government does its job | 03:43 |
de-facto | to be honest sometimes here i get the impression that management tries to prevent that incidence comes down too much, they always rise the threshold above a value where tracing would have any chance to bring it down without additional containment and as soon as incidence goes slightly below the threshold they rush extremely fast with opening everything | 04:00 |
de-facto | so its almost like if they ensure with much care that case numbers never get in a range where tracing could take them down further | 04:01 |

Brainstorm | de-facto: From journals.plos.org: Investigation of SARS-CoV-2 infection in dogs and cats of humans diagnosed with COVID-19 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil | 15:39 |
de-facto | "Between May and October 2020, 39 pets (29 dogs and 10 cats) of 21 patients were investigated. Nine dogs (31%) and four cats (40%) from 10 (47.6%) households were infected with or seropositive for SARS-CoV-2. Animals tested positive from 11 to 51 days after the human index COVID-19 case onset of symptoms. Three dogs tested positive twice within 14, 30, and 31 days apart. SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibodies were detected in one dog (3.4%) | 15:40 |
de-facto | and two cats (20%). In this study, six out of thirteen animals either infected with or seropositive for SARS-CoV-2 have developed mild but reversible signs of the disease. Using logistic regression analysis, neutering, and sharing bed with the ill owner were associated with pet infection." | 15:40 |
de-facto | "The presence and persistence of SARS-CoV-2 infection have been identified in dogs and cats from households with human COVID-19 cases in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. People with COVID-19 should avoid close contact with their pets during the time of their illness" | 15:42 |
de-facto | passage through animals, and possible jump back into family households, great :( | 15:43 |
de-facto | what else could we try to breed new mutants? | 15:43 |
genera | cases full of minks? | 15:44 |
de-facto | oh yeah minks for everyone | 15:44 |
genera | only if you take 10! | 15:46 |
de-facto | cats, dogs, rodents, minks, why not bats themselves? | 15:47 |
de-facto | no sarcasm aside, this is concerning because every animal got slightly different proteins and immune system compared to humans, hence a jump in species is a jump in selective pressure and gives rise to a new "direction" of mutations | 15:49 |
de-facto | therefore when jumping back to human population probably will have changed enough to evade the pre-existing immunity either by recovery from ancestor variants or vaccinations and then be able to spread much faster in such a partly immune population compared to non-species jumped variants | 15:51 |

de-facto | correction: i said yesterday one would require a negative rapid antigen test for shopping in stores that sell non-essential articles, idiotic management dropped that motivation for citizens to get tested, no test required anymore. this management is a complete disaster in every way | 16:54 |
de-facto | probably as usual, politicians are nothing more than prostitutes for the lobbyists, instead of doing their job and ensure incidence continues to go down they do the opposite and ensure it would not go down far enough that tracing could regain control over it | 16:55 |
de-facto | i am really pissed with their failure, it almost looks like they are sabotaging the interests of the citizens in bringing down further the infections by promoting testing | 16:56 |
de-facto | also: WHY on earth do we still dont have MANDATORY tests at working places? there just has to be an "offer", but no mandatory tests | 16:57 |
de-facto | their measures STILL are based on 1.5m distancing over a year into the pandemic | 16:58 |
de-facto | why? because lobbyists want it that way. | 16:58 |
de-facto | why does management follow the lobbyists rather than scientists in questions of transmissions paths? do they really think lobbyists competence outways the one from scientific research? | 17:00 |
