LjL | yes | 02:07 |
LjL | i already changed the article | 02:07 |
LjL | editor was stupid | 02:07 |
de-facto | here they say "Three Israelis who returned from Denmark and were confirmed as infected with the novel coronavirus may have been infected with the new strain discovered among minks in the country recently, according to KAN news." https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/israelis-may-be-infected-with-new-coronavirus-strain-from-denmark-minks-648513 | 02:13 |
de-facto | so its their suspicion only that the possibility MAY be there hence they do sequencing | 02:13 |

DocScrutinizer05 | btw is it smart to translate a term that looks exactly same after translation? >>Danish State Serum Institute (SSI) has designated these as clusters 1–5 (Danish: cluster 1-5)<< | 02:26 |
de-facto | huh? what do you mean by that? | 02:27 |
DocScrutinizer05 | clusters 1–5 (Danish: cluster 1-5) | 02:27 |
DocScrutinizer05 | maybe I'm blind or sth, but seems to me cluster 5 is danish AND english | 02:28 |
de-facto | well why not? to search including the danish original term? | 02:29 |
Brainstorm | Updates for US: +10823 cases (now 10.4 million) since 2 hours ago | 02:36 |
LjL | DocScrutinizer05, it's because the plural in danish remains "cluster" instead of "clusters" | 02:37 |
LjL | it's a bit of an... OCD? thing to specify | 02:37 |
LjL | but i'm not sure i want to get into an edit war over *that* :P | 02:37 |

DocScrutinizer05 | LjL: I'd not expect plural in a "name" even in english. In danish those are clearly names and an enumeration of named items shouldn't use plural for the name. My 2 cent | 02:42 |
LjL | well i don't know in danish, but in english "clusters 1-5" is correct while "cluster 1-5" would be questionable | 02:43 |
DocScrutinizer05 | cluster-1 to cluster-5 would be absolutely correct in my book | 02:43 |
LjL | with no hyphen in english, but yeah you could write that | 02:44 |
LjL | anyway i've already corrected the big factual error in that article today, i'm going to leave the linguistic quibbles alone :P | 02:44 |
DocScrutinizer05 | it's a mix up of use of a generic noun "cluster, plural clusters" and an name cluster-1 ... cluster-5 | 02:45 |
LjL | plus "cluster 1-5" is a direct quote from the source, which is a source in danish | 02:45 |
LjL | it's not a mix up | 02:45 |
LjL | it's perfectly correct english | 02:45 |
DocScrutinizer05 | well, I stumbled over it, maybe it's my poor english comprehension | 02:46 |
LjL | "Xs n1 to n2" is a standard English construct. it doesn't need to make "logical" sense, languages don't work like that | 02:47 |
Brainstorm | Updates for US: +10946 cases (now 10.4 million) since 2 hours ago | 02:51 |
DocScrutinizer05 | the catch is this is suggesting that "Cluster 5" was derived from the danish plural form of english "clusters" which it isn't. There's simply no reason to explain aka "translate english >>clusters number1 to number5<< to danish >>cluster[pl.] #1-#5 << since the name got derived from the singular of course | 02:52 |

de-facto | https://covidvax.org/covid19-vaccine/Sinovac/Inactivated-alum-Sinovac-Instituto-Butatan | 03:08 |

LjL | tinwhiskers, no | 03:08 |
tinwhiskers | Ah. Ok | 03:08 |
de-facto | nope attenuated is "functional" but weakened beyond a point that it is not dangerous anymore | 03:08 |
LjL | tinwhiskers, attenuated can still replicate, just supposedly not enough for a full-blown infection or being contagious | 03:08 |
tinwhiskers | Ok | 03:09 |
de-facto | inactivated is non-functional in a sense of replication afaik | 03:09 |
DocScrutinizer05 | >>...communicated only now<< seems pretty consistent for chinese stuff | 03:09 |
LjL | tinwhiskers, they sometimes go wrong. today, the leading cause of polio is the attenuated polio vaccine | 03:09 |
de-facto | my bad, i am a bit tired already, good catch LjL | 03:09 |
LjL | DocScrutinizer05, it was up to Brazil to communicate it i think... | 03:09 |
DocScrutinizer05 | oooh | 03:09 |
LjL | the vaccine is Chinese but in Brazil the oversight is by the Brazilian agencies | 03:10 |
de-facto | do they use adjuvants in those inactivated vaccines? | 03:11 |
de-facto | Dynavax’s CpG 1018,? | 03:12 |
LjL | i don't know | 03:14 |
LjL | it's a bit annoying how covidvax doesn't list the vaccine *name* and the vaccine *type* separately... | 03:14 |
LjL | so if it has a unique name, they use, otherwise the "name" may just be "Inactivated" | 03:14 |
LjL | de-facto, it says "Inactivated + alum" for Sinovac so that looks like an adjuvant to me i guess | 03:15 |

LjL | de-facto, it looks like there are two Sinovac vaccines. really just one, but in Brazil (and China?) the adjuvant is alum, while in the US they have this partnership so the adjuvant is called CpG 1018 | 03:17 |

LjL | i kinda want to grab covidvax data and use it in Brainstorm but scraping is boooooring | 03:22 |
MikeJoel | hmm 244,448 in 10 months. 2018-2019 (6 months) Flu season - 176,590 deaths due to Flu and Pneumonia (a flu complication). That would mean about 29,431 deaths per month... compared to covid at 24 deaths per month. And we are supposed to be terrified of covid? odd | 03:22 |
LjL | are you even in good faith | 03:23 |
MikeJoel | is my math wrong? | 03:23 |
MikeJoel | oh sorry - 24,444 deaths a month - thought it sounded odd... still a bit lower | 03:24 |
LjL | and also | 03:24 |
LjL | "CDC estimates that influenza was associated with more than 35.5 million illnesses, more than 16.5 million medical visits, 490,600 hospitalizations, and 34,200 deaths during the 2018–2019 influenza season." | 03:24 |
MikeJoel | strange the cdc is where these numbers come from | 03:25 |
MikeJoel | 176,590 | 03:25 |
LjL | well maybe they are worldwide? | 03:26 |
MikeJoel | also if you consider 244,448 - 176,590 = 67,858 yet it covid 4 more months | 03:26 |
LjL | sorry what are you comparing? i don't follow | 03:28 |
MikeJoel | hmm? 176,590 deaths in the entire world? I don't think so | 03:28 |
LjL | look i don't know which CDC you took that number from but i took it from the American CDC, namely here: https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/2018-2019.html | 03:28 |
LjL | so you may want to talk to the other CDC | 03:28 |
LjL | also, if your number includes pneumonia for *any* reason (which isn't clear from your description), then it's silly: pneumonia can be a flu complication but it can also arise for a number of other reasons that can't logically be summed up together | 03:29 |
MikeJoel | j/s | 03:30 |
LjL | but also these non-comparable numbers are a distraction. the problem with COVID is a much higher proportion of patients need to end up in hospital to survive decently, *and* the spikes are being much worse than flu | 03:30 |
MikeJoel | covid isn't just someone dying from being sick with covid - it includes a lot more than that | 03:30 |
LjL | sure, teach us | 03:31 |
MikeJoel | hmm? In America it is like 99% survival if your below like 70 | 03:31 |
LjL | you're* | 03:31 |
MikeJoel | or 60 | 03:31 |
MikeJoel | whatever | 03:31 |
LjL | and also it's good that you care only about those who are less than 60 "or whatever" | 03:31 |
LjL | you are quieted for being a scummy person | 03:31 |
LjL | i'll unquiet you later if you want to stay but i'd prefer if you didn't | 03:31 |
LjL | anyway the channel topic has information on the difference between COVID and influenza which you can comment on, if you take the time to read it instead of joining, calling the bot immediately, then bringing up questionable numbers that are not comparable with other numbers | 03:34 |
LjL | stop staring everyone, yes i'm nervous | 03:42 |

tinwhiskers | half the people there are wearing masks and being careful, which is not something they've done before with flu. | 03:45 |
LjL | tinwhiskers, but still he was coming up with a number for flu that i really don't know where he got. if that really is flu + any pneumonia, then why don't we also count cancer and heart attack deaths, and say "hey they're more than COVID, so why do we worry about COVID?" | 03:45 |
LjL | and at first he made the "innocent mistake" of saying 24 deaths per month instead of 24444 deaths per month | 03:46 |
tinwhiskers | yeah. self-deluded, ignorant or plain dishonest (I'm guessing the latter). | 03:46 |
LjL | i'd almost believe it's a genuine mistake if my logs didn't have an AKICK for him in ##coronavirus dating back from March | 03:46 |
tinwhiskers | clearly open to learning | 03:46 |
de-facto | With "log10(IFR) = -3.27 + 0.0524 * age" from above paper hence IFR(age) = 100% Exp[ Log[2] age / 5.75] / 1682 it gives for age = {60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90} the IFR = {0.82%, 1.50%, 2.75%, 5.02%, 9.17%, 16.76, 30.61%} | 03:53 |

MikeJoel | LjL: yes, but it turns out freenode has people going around joining channels and spying on what they talk about. | 05:07 |
LjL | that's not the way i would put it | 05:07 |
MikeJoel | if they don't like it they warn - then close | 05:07 |
cmpx[m] | I'm just saying, they are deniers, and have been for some time. I would guess that they are one of if not the worst of the US states, | 05:07 |
LjL | but anyway i'm sure they adore being highlighted randomly | 05:07 |
DocScrutinizer05 | MikeJoel: huh? | 05:09 |
jess | where's my tracking device | 05:10 |
de-facto | DocScrutinizer05, neat, i wonder how that foldedphase behaves for real peaks, e.g. around the Tönnies peak | 05:10 |
LjL | jess, where's your freenode staff clo- oh, okay. | 05:10 |
jess | rekt | 05:10 |
de-facto | because it should target periodicity more than peaks | 05:10 |
DocScrutinizer05 | LjL: I forgot the date. just look it up then check that date in first chart? | 05:11 |
the-wes | if I was an IRCop, step 1 would be to disable notification on mentions | 05:11 |
DocScrutinizer05 | de-facto: ^^^ | 05:11 |
DocScrutinizer05 | de-facto: actually you did wonder about that a few days ago already (I did too) that's why I added it to first chart | 05:12 |
Brainstorm | New from The Indian Express: World: G20 countries still backing fossil fuels through COVID-19 response → https://is.gd/Lyg7MF | 05:12 |
de-facto | maybe around 2020-06-18 or such? | 05:13 |
jess | if i was an ircop, i'd use it to find people to hug | 05:13 |
LjL | if i was an ircop, i'd have "freenode staff" on highlight | 05:13 |
de-facto | wow how tiny it looks already in comparison to the recent huge peak | 05:13 |
LjL | but since i'm just LjL, i'll slap everyone who says "if i was" instead of "if i were" | 05:14 |
ketas | jess: missing a hug? | 05:14 |
de-facto | i really hope Reff is going down for real and not only due to changing testing strategy or such | 05:14 |
LjL | that thing about Greeks being required to send an SMS to leave home weirded me out a bit, but then towards the end of the article it says they can carry a form for the same purpose if they can't (or won't?) text, so i guess it's just like in Italy except with texting being a potentially easier option | 05:15 |
jess | ketas: always! | 05:16 |
DocScrutinizer05 | RKI claimed a 0.7some a few days ago. Though their R is quite jerky, it seems to support my observed trend | 05:16 |
ketas | constant lack of human contact | 05:16 |
MikeJoel | rekk is one? | 05:17 |
tinwhiskers | MikeJoel: you're waaay off topic fuming about another channel. Not here please. | 05:17 |
de-facto | DocScrutinizer05, the problem is that testing cap is the current limit so cases will drop automatically | 05:18 |
MikeJoel | another channel? | 05:18 |
ketas | ##hugs | 05:18 |
tinwhiskers | MikeJoel: drop it. It's not on topic for this channel. | 05:19 |
jess | i can help you with that | 05:19 |
DocScrutinizer05 | de-facto: I'm absolutely sure RKI takes this into account for their R calculations | 05:19 |
jess | if you join #freenode and type /who freenode/staff/* | 05:19 |
de-facto | DocScrutinizer05, how would they take it into account? tests not done cant contribute | 05:19 |
de-facto | they try to change guidelines to better targeting to raise the positivity quote | 05:20 |
DocScrutinizer05 | de-facto: maybe they know how many tests were not done, for example? | 05:20 |
de-facto | well how would they know that? and how to know how many of those would have turned out positive? | 05:20 |
de-facto | i mean Reff > 1 would require exponential increase in detected positive tested cases, yet if no tests can be offered to all those groups that were tested before, the tested incidence would drop automatically | 05:22 |
de-facto | so its unclear if its a real decline in incidence or just in test cap | 05:22 |
DocScrutinizer05 | btw while labs are at limit, they still prioritize tests so the type of test done months ago already ist still always gettzing processed. What's falling off end of the board are the voluntary tests by travelers etc | 05:22 |
LjL | today in Italy the percentage of positive tests went down compared to yesterday, but the percentage of positive *people* tested went *up* | 05:25 |
de-facto | i wonder the same for the other EU countries that had a recent drop in detected cases | 05:25 |
de-facto | well Germany did not had a drop yet unlike some others | 05:25 |
LjL | so i guess despite it being a day-of-not-many-tests, unlike other times (every Monday really), this time they re-tested a lot of people that had been previously tested | 05:25 |
LjL | i wouldn't say italy has had a drop, yesterday or the day before we had our maximum | 05:25 |
LjL | i would say the growth might not be lower than exponential, without enough days to make that a certainty yet | 05:26 |
LjL | might now* | 05:26 |
LjL | god i hate that i mix up "now" and "not" so easily and they can almost always reverse the meaning of a sentence entirely | 05:26 |

LjL | honestly i almost never detach it except for cleaning it | 05:57 |
tinwhiskers | sounds interesting | 05:57 |
tinwhiskers | Mine is never attached to the keyboard | 05:57 |
ketas | remember those devices where phone goes into screen? | 05:58 |
LjL | using it as a tablet is just not something i end up doing, probably not helped by GNOME looking like a touch interface but feeling a lot NOT like one | 05:58 |

DocScrutinizer05 | usually 0900 | 07:21 |
DocScrutinizer05 | but the dashboard updates 0000 | 07:21 |
DocScrutinizer05 | except last night | 07:21 |
de-facto | nope actually the dashboard displays a popup warning that its old data from 0000 on until somewhere in the morning, e.g. 0700 or such? | 07:22 |
DocScrutinizer05 | ? | 07:22 |
de-facto | before it displays the old data from previous day with warning, after it displays the new data without warning | 07:22 |
de-facto | but sometimes it still seems to change in the morning, even without warning popup | 07:23 |
DocScrutinizer05 | https://i.imgur.com/wbp6WQZ.png | 07:24 |
DocScrutinizer05 | can't see any warning | 07:24 |
de-facto | yeah now it does not show that warning anymore, so probably up to date | 07:24 |
DocScrutinizer05 | just the timestamplower left corner | 07:25 |
de-facto | its a white popup in the middle of the page saying something like waring its old data still | 07:25 |
de-facto | try loading at 0010 or such | 07:25 |
de-facto | then you will see the old day and the warning | 07:25 |
DocScrutinizer05 | aaah yes, *sometimes* that pops up some time in the night, between 0000 and maybe 0400 I seen that | 07:26 |
de-facto | yeah it varies | 07:26 |

de-facto | I very much would hope so, yet i am convinced when daily new hospitalizations become a constant or declining series | 07:45 |
DocScrutinizer05 | wait another 2 weeks and you'll see that | 07:46 |
DocScrutinizer05 | well maybe just 1 week | 07:46 |

DocScrutinizer05 | I'm listening to the podcast right now. As soon as the transscript gets available and provides a link, I will share it | 18:40 |
DocScrutinizer05 | bottom line: of the 4 mutations in cluster5 only one is relevant and this one is a convergent (>= 4 times already) recurring adaption to mink host and causes the virus to replicate *less* in humans. The allegedly inferior susceptibility to antibodies is arguable aka marginal / few weak data | 18:43 |

DocScrutinizer05 | bottom line of bottom line: vaccination and antibody *cocktails* are most likely NOT affected at all by cluster5 | 18:54 |

DocScrutinizer05 | >>Seems like cluster 5 mutates faster<< nothing suggesting that. The mutation is driven by virus "living" in minks and adapting to that environment. It happened 4 times already, independently, which is known as convergence | 19:01 |
DocScrutinizer05 | the mutation is an advantage for this strain **in minks**, in humans it's a DISadvantage | 19:02 |
LjL | uh, i remember hearing that one of the two antibodies in Regeneron *would* likely be affected by Cluster 5 | 19:05 |
LjL | if it sticks to the S-protein but the S-protein has changed, that would make sense | 19:06 |
bin_bash | i'll wait to see the paper tbh | 19:09 |

LjL | not much that we didn't already know, except that maybe in the language i don't really understand in the rest of the paper (which isn't very long) there is key information i don't understand | 19:27 |
bin_bash | DocScrutinizer05: i don't think listening to a podcast is a good way to get that kind of information without a written souce and references | 19:28 |
bin_bash | difficult to peer review a podcast | 19:28 |
LjL | bin_bash, that's probably why he at first said he'd link it after they publish the transcript | 19:29 |
bin_bash | yeah i know | 19:32 |
bin_bash | but then he said the podcast is more useul | 19:33 |
bin_bash | useful | 19:33 |
bin_bash | and i was just disagreewing with that | 19:33 |
DocScrutinizer05 | bin_bash: if you're a scientist competent to di peer review, you won't do a peer review of Drosten's podcasts, you'll already have seen that paper and can tell me if Drosten was right in _his_ "peer review" he shared to us | 19:35 |
LjL | the paper, at least the working version that i linked to, really don't say much of anything different than we already know... | 19:36 |
bin_bash | DocScrutinizer05: i'm not the one doing the peer review, i want to see what others have reviewed. podcasts are large inaccessible | 19:36 |
LjL | anyway it seems irresponsible to veto the culling of these mink when it's clear that mink are very susceptible and the virus can mutate in them very easily | 19:36 |

DocScrutinizer05 | that's why I rather listen to Drosten, he's more competent than I am and can explain what that paper means, if it is trustworthy or where it lacks evidence, and so on | 19:37 |
bin_bash | like there have been comments on other papers about fomite transmission being exaggerated | 19:37 |
LjL | bin_bash, well the person DocScrutinizer05 is referring to is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_Drosten which you'll see is not just a random podcaster. if you're looking for competent "comments", his would qualify | 19:38 |

de-facto | page 29 positivity went down? | 22:54 |
LjL | %tr <nl aantal | 22:54 |
Brainstorm | LjL, Dutch to English: number (MateCat, Google) — count (MateCat) — Quantity (MateCat) | 22:55 |
de-facto | its funny Dutch sounds very similar to German so aantal sounds like Anzahl, meaning "Number of" | 22:56 |
rpifan | dutch spelling is very close to german | 22:59 |
rpifan | i can read a lot of dutch with my german | 22:59 |
rpifan | but speaking is something else | 22:59 |
de-facto | yup | 23:01 |
LjL | don't tell dutchmen, but linguistically dutch is really on a dialect continuum with the neighboring dialects of german (which however don't have a high formal status, unlike dutch) | 23:02 |
rpifan | yea it is | 23:04 |
Brainstorm | New from Medical Xpress: Should college students go home for the holidays?: Thanksgiving is traditionally an intimate gathering of family and friends. And, for college students, the fall break in semester is an opportunity to travel home to see the family for a few days. With COVID-19 cases increasing at a high rate in some parts of the U.S., that trek [... want %more?] → https://is.gd/0Pyjj4 | 23:04 |
de-facto | %title https://imgur.com/a/55iiMF2 https://i.imgur.com/KI7yuIX.png source: newest https://www.rivm.nl/sites/default/files/2020-11/COVID-19_WebSite_rapport_wekelijks_20201110_1158.pdf (page 29) | 23:05 |
Brainstorm | de-facto: From imgur.com: COVID-19 Netherlands: Tests, Cases, Positivity - Album on Imgur | 23:05 |
rpifan | im actually doing the german right now | 23:05 |
rpifan | talkign in the german to telekom | 23:05 |
rpifan | its a bit strange thats after only 24 months or | 23:05 |
rpifan | so im able to communicate at least basically with telekom | 23:05 |
Brainstorm | Updates for US: +119735 cases (now 10.5 million), +1127 deaths (now 245519) since 22 hours ago | 23:06 |
de-facto | so it really looks like Netherlands surpassed a peak in testing positivity in the week ending at 2020-10-25 | 23:06 |
de-facto | did they change their testing strategy by then or is that incidence itself? | 23:07 |
LjL | well the number of tests had steadily being going up | 23:08 |
LjL | then suddenly it goes down | 23:08 |
LjL | and coincidentally the percentage of positives changes too | 23:08 |
de-facto | i mean their incidence dropped (as did their testing) but also their positivity e.g. cases / tests | 23:08 |
LjL | to me that indicates a change in testing strategy, whether on purpose or by necessity | 23:08 |
LjL | de-facto, yes, but the same happened yesterday in italy. does it mean we have fewer cases today? not so much | 23:08 |
LjL | i know that usually fewer tests = higher % positive | 23:09 |
LjL | but perhaps even more importantly, fewer tests = something is different | 23:09 |
de-facto | well only if targeting changed, e.g. if they only test high risk groups or symptomatic or such | 23:09 |
de-facto | i hate they are not screening random people to get an representative picture | 23:10 |
de-facto | its such a guessing game, maybe they did this and got that effect | 23:10 |
de-facto | but testing positivity going down is a good sign in my opinion, why would they change their testing targeting to include less probable cases while reducing amount of tests? | 23:13 |
de-facto | meaning if the drop in positivity is not due to that it may be real | 23:14 |
Brainstorm | New from Medical Xpress: What are we drinking during the pandemic?: It might not be surprising to learn but people are drinking more than usual during the pandemic. → https://is.gd/ZO6PsA | 23:15 |

TASA | with what tool ? | 23:18 |
