COVID-19 News, Info, Discussion /// Tracking the Spread of the Virus and its Effects /// October Lockdown for UK (pg. 774)

It's important to take note of but this has been the case for a while. It was actually useful in mapping the extent of the UK VOC spread because one of the bigger tests was only partially reactive to the new variant. I'll skip the details but it bypassed the genome sequencing step largely. Useless for the individual cases and proper pos/neg was maintained but great for spread information.

If a men tests positive for pregnancy hormones it's likely he's not pregnant and if a woman in labor tests negative for pregnancy hormones it's likely she's pregnant. A test will tell you exactly what it's made to tell, proper interpretation of the results given context is where the real value lies though.

One final note, the FDA guidance has not been updated since "Content current as of: 03/30/2021" so why a MD would consider this new information is beyond me.

YES, it was! Right here on GLP

A vaccine which focuses on more than just the spike protein?



As the battle with Covid-19 rages around the world, a small French biotech has a possible solution for the long-term war against the virus and the rapidly spreading mutations.

The company, Valneva SE, has a vaccine that could be more variant-proof, giving it an edge over other shots

With all the other Covid-19 vaccines in the region focused on the virus’s spike protein, the shot could protect against variants that might compromise others

Kate Bingham, former head of the U.K.’s Vaccine Taskforce, says that if the shot is successful it will probably be used as a winter booster for older adults.

“Having that broader antigenic real estate from a whole virus vaccine really matters,” she said. “Viruses mutate. So by having a broader immune response, which you get with a whole vaccine, you can potentially provide that ongoing protection.”

A great most fly with Emirates making a connection in Dubai.

Emirates need to stuff their 600 pax meag jets full so the seats are cheap. Not all passengers are taking direct flights.

Thanks Dutchy!

they enter UK airspace, they should be shot down, we don't want them here!

George is working today....

That should be a concern.

"attacks the vascular system on a cellular level." Holy crap, that's every organ in the body. You really must do everything you can to not catch this monster!

Why would anyone think it was connected to vaccinations?
They have only vaccinated about 2 - 3% of their population!
Always thought that was BS.

I was really expecting Africa to take off last year. My year in Nigeria convinced me that Witch doctors were more respected than anyone in the medical profession.

I feel like a canary in the coal mine. Just over four months since my Covid positive test. Fuck.

This is definitely very real. I have well-off friends in India. They were pleading online for an oxygen generator that they could pick up themselves. We offered to ship one to them, but they said do not bother it would get stolen before they received it.

Something's up

The nothingburger guy/s are out of nothingburgers

George is working on a weekend

And the ex-CDC director is so concerned about the increasing lethality of the new variants that today he is pushing the term covid-21

So, basically, if you walk into any poorly ventilated commercial building, especially those with recirculating HVAC systems, even if people are a long way from you, you can get infected. That is why we have not been inside any commercial building in over a year.

Well it’s a smoothie dinner night.... so yeah..... it ain’t gonna be a pretty week.

Hmm, anybody have access to the full text? It's paywalled for me (Think uni network etc): [link to www.ahajournals.org (secure)]

I'll try and make some time to find collaborating sources when possible but this is not good news.

Select the pdf preprint preview. This is updated from an earlier December version

I read that this morning and had to get offline for a bit.

Running away to the Upper Peninsula isn't even going to save me if that's the case....

Not sure posted before or not.....Covid is now officially airborne like measles.

Evidence of long-range transmissions
In another piece of evidence, they've stated examples of long-range transmission of SARS CoV-2, where individuals from adjacent rooms who haven’t spoken to or come in contact with each other have taken place and have been documented in quarantine hotels.

COVID-19 has stayed infectious in the air for three hours
Researchers have also stated that SARS CoV-2 has been detected in the air in lab experiments and it has managed to stay infectious in the air for up to 3 hours. They have also rejected the argument where researchers have claimed that SARS CoV-2 wasn’t cultivated from the air, arguing that measles and TB (tuberculosis) which are airborne diseases also haven’t been cultivated from room air.

Presence of SARS CoV-2 In areas where only aerosols can reach
Researchers claim how SARS CoV-2 was found to be present in air filters and building ducts of hospitals of COVID-19 patients -- areas where only aerosols can reach. In another study, they show how infected caged animals who were connected to separately caged uninfected animals via an air duct caused the transmission of SARS CoV-2 -- another transmission with only aerosols as the logical explanation.

As Singapore is almost zero local transmission for quite sometimes until this round of mass infections, more evidence for airborne transmission in Singapore.

Note: For full protection of airborne transmission, only N99 or P100 can protect you.

Case 62638 is a 26 year-old female Singapore Permanent Resident who works as a cleaner employed by Exceltec Property Management Pte Ltd, and deployed at a community care facility at Tuas South. At work, she dons full personal protection equipment (PPE), including N95 mask, face shield, gown and gloves. She is a household contact of Case 62629 and a colleague of Case 62553.

Case 62553

Case 62553 is a 39 year-old female Vietnam national who works as a cleaner employed by Octo Jet Building Maintenance Services Pte Ltd, and deployed at a community care facility at Tuas South. At work, she dons full personal protection equipment (PPE), including N95 mask, face shield, gown and gloves. She also periodically helps out at a food stall at The Summit located at the National University of Singapore’s Bukit Timah campus.

Case 62553 received her first dose of COVID-19 vaccine on 27 January, and the second dose on 19 February. The COVID-19 vaccine is effective in preventing symptomatic disease for the vast majority of those vaccinated, but it is possible for vaccinated individuals to get infected.

This may be what all this "long covid" is about. The virus is circulating in the vascular, or blood circulatory, system until it finds a vulnerable organ/organs?

This is interesting.
