BrainstormUpdates for Zimbabwe: +416 cases (now 42195), +13 deaths (now 1685) since a day ago00:38
nixonixwhen we discussed about pfizer efficacy for indian variant vs kent variant, that england or england wales study result was mentioned (was it 88 vs 94 or so), but the difference was higher in the scott study00:58
nixonixTwo weeks after the second dose, Pfizer (PFE.N) BioNTech's vaccine was found to have 79% protection against infection from the Delta variant, compared to 92% against the Alpha variant00:58
nixonixadenoviruses can infect the cells of the respiratory tract, while herpes viruses can infect those of the skin and nervous system. In most cases, this does not lead to the production of new virus particles, as the viruses are suppressed by the immune system01:07
nixonixHowever, adenoviruses and herpes viruses can cause persistent infections that the immune system is unable to completely suppress and that produce viral particles for years01:08
LjLuh, herpes viruses often do stay dormant in the nerve ganglia01:08
LjLand by "often" i mean "always", at least for HSV01:08
nixonixadenoviruses that nasty too01:08
LjLsure, some people maybe only have one flare up in their life, lucky then01:08
LjLthem*01:08
LjLnixonix, really?01:08
nixonixi mean that i quoted above01:09
LjLwhere do adenoviruses hide that the immune system doesn't reach?01:09
LjLmaybe in the adenovirus case, it's only when the immune system really is compromised, like with HIV01:09
LjLbut in the case of herpes, i have HSV like most of the population, my immune system is presumably "normal", but for many years i've had flareups every couple of weeks01:10
nixonixidk, i just saw that i quoted, in a research article of another subject01:10
LjLwhich is annoying as fuck01:10
nixonixi soon hate viruses more than insects, the more i keep reading01:10
LjLwell i just had to kill two wasps so right at this moment i'm biased against insects01:10

Brainstormnixonix: From www.sciencedaily.com: Microscopy deep learning predicts viral infections -- ScienceDaily01:11
LjLbut i'm sure reading a couple of papers on viruses would change my mind quickly01:11
LjLmartini_man[m], i wouldn't like to amplify things that may make people more scared of vaccines than warranted, but i know at least one person who had persistent "blehness" symptoms (nothing extreme, but fatigue) still a few weeks after the shot. but then they said they had allergies and they were a bit "bleh" in the same period of the year other years too01:13
LjLfor sure, that post sounds like something worse than that01:13
LjLi'm a bit perplexed at the final mention "i’ve had a few rapid covid tests done and they were negative so i don’t know what to do"01:14
Krey[m]did CDC finally decided to move their ass and have the hugging meeting 💢01:14
LjLwhy rapid tests? at this point the virus may well be gone. if that person has some effects of COVID, they're probably the "long COVID" type01:14
LjLwhich means you'd want to get an antibody test to see if you had COVID *before*01:14
LjLmight be a bit tricky to find the right one, since an antibody test that reacts to the S-protein will also detect the vaccine01:15
LjLso you'd want a test that looks for the N-protein or other parts of the virus that aren't the S-protein01:15
LjLto distinguish between vaccine and past infection01:15
LjLKrey[m], not that i know of01:15
LjLbut i haven't really refreshed their webpage all day or anything :P01:15

nixonixcool with daily mail? i can look for something01:22
LjLno, definitely not cool with daily mail!01:23
LjLwikipedia calls the daily beast a "high-end tabloid", so probably cooler with it than with the daily mail :P01:24
LjLbut hey let's celebrate, the italian secret services will now have a cyber division01:25
LjLjust like the secret services hadn't already caused enough issues (and by "issues" i mean dead people) in italy!01:25
nixonixdm is ok, sometimes information that most media dont want to tell, and the best pics anyway. just not that accurate with checking things from other sources, so better do it yourself to verify01:26

LjLfive day quarantine, oh no!01:28
LjLhow will anyone survive that01:28
LjL(also note that it also applies to italian who go to britain on holiday and come back...)01:29
LjLsomething i don't love about that Daily Beast article is that they immediately bait you about the Wuhan stuff but then never mention it again01:29
nixonixthey wrote it off, as "majority of scientists say the origin was natural" or something01:31
LjLyeah except when they don't01:33
LjLit's like a compass needle at the north pole01:33
LjLwhat "scientists" are thinking about the virus origin on a given day01:33
nixonixSingapore recently increased the time most international travellers must spend in mandatory quarantine from 14 to 21 days, over concerns people can shed the virus beyond two weeks01:34
nixonixAs Australia continues to look at ways to minimise spread of SARS-CoV-2 into the future, Murdoch University professor of immunology Cassandra Berry says it needs to "revisit" national quarantine arrangements.01:35
nixonix"If we made it 21 or 20 days, that may actually help reduce the virus spread even better," she said. "We'd likely see less outbreaks."01:35
nixoniximo they are a bit too hysterical in aus and nz01:37
nixonixthen how would i know, we dont even have true lockdowns. maybe its something people just enjoy01:38
nixonix*havent had01:39
BrainstormUpdates for Rwanda: +622 cases (now 31435), +6 deaths (now 388) since a day ago — India: +940 deaths (now 388135) since 22 hours ago01:40
LjLnixonix, are they hysterical? in the meanwhile, they don't have the virus, we do01:42
LjLtry telling de-facto they're hysterical for doing that when he's around tomorrow :P01:42
nixonixisnt he in germany?01:42
LjLyes, but he's quite a fan of quarantines and of "zero covid" approaches they've taken in countries like NZ and Australia01:43
LjLand tbh so am i if they could be implemented organically across the EU, but i think it's probably way too late now01:43
nixonixwell if i think today they are too hysterical, i prob will think the same tomorrow, whoever is here01:43
LjLbut you can see what's happening now... we're getting vaccinated, at a leisurely pace, and the virus is mutating, and by the time we're fully vaccinated we'll already be fearing a variant that breaks through the vaccine01:44
nixonixim for stricter border controls than europeans have had. but not to the level aus and nz had taken this all01:44
LjLi'm for the level that works01:45
LjLlet's make it a binary search if you want01:45
nixonixin wuhan they took it even further01:45
LjLso far, the extremes are: NZ, Aus, works; EU, doesn't work01:45
LjLin Wuhan they took the *lockdown* much further, aside from the quarantine measures from people coming from elsewhere01:45
LjLi don't want to just stomp on people's ability to survive, of course, if that's what they did in Wuhan01:46
LjLbut i don't think that's what they're doing in Australia or NZ01:46
LjLtinwhiskers flew back to NZ from his islands a few months ago01:46
LjLeven though the island was COVID-free, he had to have a hotel quarantine anyway01:46
LjLbut i asked him about the details of it, and it all seemed pretty civilized01:46
nixonixyeah i meant generally the measures in aus and nz. but i also think that their border measures are over the top, when their own citizens cant get back. in aus, idk how it is in nz01:47
LjLnot like in Italy where quarantine means "you won't go out, right? please? okay, enjoy", but also not concentration camps01:47
LjLwell tinwhiskers is a NZ citizen. he could go back, but he had to undergo the mandatory hotel quarantine, and probably had to pay for it01:47
LjLi think Australia only imposed a complete ban on their citizens coming back for a few weeks from India01:48
nixonixin aus they have it too, and expensive, but also they dont have much flights to get back, and they are usually cancelled01:48
nixonixso some of them have tried to get back for over a year01:48
nixonix*many flights. but mostly unconfirmed rumors, i havent read what are the costs exactly etc01:49
nixonixand in nz, they had no cases for several months, exp those in guarantine that came from abroad - yet they still had to use masks in public transport. just in case01:51
BrainstormNew from BMJ: Exposure to green spaces may strengthen resilience and support mental health in the face of the covid-19 pandemic: Mughal and colleagues provide a useful overview of mental health support during the covid-19 pandemic.1Outdoor recreation in green spaces has emerged during the present pandemic as an essential tool... → https://is.gd/hSwEAI01:51
nixonixso im for tight border controls, then trace down the cases, and remove the restrictions and normal life01:52
nixonixanyways, seems to have worked somewhat what we have had. event restrictions and reduced opening hours for bars on areas where cases are high. schools on those areas were closed for 12 weeks, which prob wasnt necessary but anyway01:55
nixonixand no mandates of anything, for movement, masks whatever01:55
BrainstormNew from r/WorldNews: worldnews: Cuba says Abdala vaccine 92.28% effective against coronavirus → https://is.gd/bzL0tB02:02
LjLnixonix, many EU countries had strong movement restrictions02:05
LjLin Italy for a few months i couldn't leave my home without an "essential reason"02:05
LjLand when that was no longer the case, movement between different regions (sometimes different towns) was banned anyway02:06
LjLin Finland you haven't had too many cases just in general, whatever the reason for that... so maybe you haven't quite lived the way it was like at the bad times02:06
nixonixthey dont seem to be necessary or even that effective, on top of other measures that are effective and have in use (like closing bars if cases get up)02:06
nixonixhere most people live in cities just like everywhere else02:07
nixonixand around 1.5M of 5.5M in single metropolitan area02:07
nixonixeg in usa there are states with way more rural living. yet they had more problems. wrong measures choosen02:08
nixonixbut anyway, tight borders would be the one that matters most. i just dont understand if you decide to have them, why not just remove restrictions and if there will be some border breaches, just trace those small outbreaks down, and continue normal living02:09
nixonixwe had stricter measures for higher case regions during the late winter rise when kent variant arrived. like bars closed at 18, dining places a bit later. and those areas with smaller rise, they closed 22-24 or so02:11
nixonixand some additional public gym closures and stuff (private ones often continued). meaning those higher case regions02:12
nixonixbarbers have always been open everywhere!02:12
nixonixand all the stores etc02:12
LjLwell here's the thing, aside from marginal things like wearing masks on public transport (which many Chinese or Japanese people and other countries too already did regardless of COVID), Australia and NZ are among the few places that *have* mostly had "normal living": just look at their GDP growth... they are among the few ones that *have* some growth! when there's even a couple of cases in a city, they shut everything down for a short period. after two weeks if02:13
LjLcases are zero again, they open back up. and that has worked much better for business than our eternal "maybe-lockdown-somewhat"02:13
nixonixhow come nz's gdp isnt affected when quite a bit used to come from tourism? i have seen the graphs yeah that dont seem like they were affected. so what they had to replace the tourism?02:14
LjLnixonix, okay, so can you tell me *what* it is that Finland did that allowed to keep cases low? because that's all well and good, but in Italy we've had many, *many* more cases, and so have Spain and the UK... if we can keep bars and barbers open, what is it that we should close that we haven't?02:14
LjLor are we just worse at coughing02:14
LjLnixonix, i didn't say they weren't affected. everyone, everything has been affected by this. i'm only saying that their GDP growth was still positive; almost everywhere else was negative02:15
nixonixwe had done quite a bit what fauci said in march 2020, social distancing. avoiding crowded indoor spaces, voluntarily02:15
nixonixbars too, most of us. even when they were open02:15
LjLokay so breaking news, Finns are more disciplined than Italians. obvious way to solve COVID: implant a chip into Italians that makes them compliant :P02:16
nixonixmaybe we are just scared people02:17
nixonixnicer way to say the same :)02:17
LjLto be fair, we don't get great examples02:17
LjLi just saw on TV news some footage of someone getting a vaccine, and they had their masks half down (nose out)02:17
LjLhow the HELL has TV still not been given the message that they 1) should NOT show people with the nose out, as if to normalize that use of masks, 2) should air PSAs on how to correctly wear masks, and often?02:18
LjLi'm pretty sure they have tons of footage of people getting vaccines. they didn't have to choose an idiot with his mask half down to show.02:18
nixonixitaly is harder, so many people in small area02:19
nixonixwe only have that one 1.5M area, then the rest is smaller cities, where contact tracing is much easier02:20
nixonixso obviously in helsinki area the cases have been among highest most of time02:20
LjLwe don't have any *huge* cities, but we do have many relatively big cities02:20
nixonixthose smaller cities have always got cases down pretty fast02:20
LjLand much of the territory is mountains so the actual habitable area is even smaller than it seems02:20
nixonixexp couple of them...02:20
nixonixlahti and turku02:21
nixonixlahti still seems to have problems02:21
LjLi think there are also some virus dynamics that we simply don't quite understand02:21
nixonixno, its just that their models dont work02:21
LjLi'm not going to say "it spreads in the winter" "it spreads in the summer" "it spreads when it's humid" "it spreads when it's dry", i really don't know, it's confusing02:22
nixonixsummer helps a lot. but its not like R=6 virus will get to under 1 without anything else02:22
nixonixthen when the cases go down, they remove the restrictions, travelling returns, people start to act more normally, and most of what is left, is the remaining of the summer (now vaccines and immunity from infections too, exp for us)02:24
nixonixwell we have some immunity in those groups that spread it most, perhaps some groups may in certain areas may even have 20% prevalence even. those prob not that willing to get vaxed, but it will balance somewhat02:25
nixonixso we will get to somewhere like 60% total immunity during the fall, or if kids under 12 will be vaxed, maybe 65. but with indian variant something like 85% would be needed02:26
nixonixand if the restrictions like bars will all be normal, the cases go up again. among those not vaccinated. then people start to be more carefull and bars shut earlier and stuff... its a circle!02:27
nixonixnew variant comes, we will wait new improved vaccines, and summer to help, argue about restrictions to just be lifted, those old and fat would die soon anyway...02:28
LjLnixonix, yes it's a circle, the virus starts to thrive, stealthily, when we think it's "gone"02:29
LjLthat's one reason why i think relatively tough measures even when there's "zero covid" like in NZ and Australia are a good idea02:29
LjLyou need to break the circle02:29
nixonixmaybe its already gone, and this is a dream02:30
LjLinstead we're using half-assed measures that we remove when the summer comes and that will make it keep being a circle02:30
nixonixok next time02:30

gectorThat virus has yet to be evolutioned or released, as of yet the search engines are still alive...03:58
gectorI wanted to know what people thought of ivermectin, or if they had even heard of it :)03:58
JuerdThen you will probably have found that it doesn't work against covid19, can be harmful if tried, and that people inclined towards conspiracies think ivermectin does work and the medicine is being withheld as part of some grand scheme to promote covid spread.03:59
gectorI see. I've actually found quite the opposite, personally. What has lead you to believe that? I don't think it's being witheld, let alone maliciously. Heaven knows I've managed to get it easily enough04:01
JuerdI haven't said anything about my beliefs04:01
gectorI suppose people may be buying into a belief that someone is trying to do by pushing ivermectin, but I find that theory quite uncompelling. What would be the reason? There's no profit to be made, the company that makes ivermectin itself is pushing a different treatment that costs much more.04:11

Krey[m]<dendtriticcell[m "https://ivmmeta.com"> that doesn't mentiones dosage that i can see where the concern with high dose seems to be neurotoxic?05:25
Krey[m]which is why the merck says that it's not safe in such dosage?05:26
Krey[m]or is that supposed to be combined with something to lessen the neurotoxicity of ivermectin ?05:27
Krey[m]oh it mentiones dose05:28
* Krey[m] 's darkreader made the dose same color as the background x.x05:29
LjLthose "meta" sites are quite full of shit and spammy05:29
dendtriticcell[mPre-Covid Politics ivermectin was generally well tolerated, with no indication of associated CNS toxicity for doses up to 10 times the highest FDA-approved dose.05:30
dendtriticcell[mhttps://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12362927/05:30
Krey[m]hmm the data is interesting though, but i am still concerned about neurotoxicity05:30
LjLhere's one site out of that "series" of "real-time metareview" sites https://c19hcq.com/05:32
Krey[m]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Ivermectin#MEDRS_Dhama_et_al_(2020)_on_Ivermectin_and_Covid seems interesting also05:32
Krey[m]> ivermectin is its potential to cause cytotoxicity. However, altering the vehicles used in the formulations, the pharmacokinetic properties can be modified, thereby having significant control over the systemic concentration of ivermectin (338).05:32
