nixonixjust small sample size, topol was skeptical for all their recent results00:00
LjLhmm looks like https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/994761/18_June_2021_Risk_assessment_for_SARS-CoV-2_variant_DELTA.pdf is the newest version of that summary, and it no longer mentions AZ00:02
LjL"The acquisition of the mutation K417N, which may be antigenically significant, in a small number of cases is noted."00:03

nixonixno it was the other eric: https://twitter.com/DrEricDing/status/140457447507770164000:05
LjLnixonix, he basically says that vaccines are not very efficacious and if you look at hospital surges it's clear "we're doomed"...? :\00:06
nixonixhe is a bit alarmist at times00:07
LjLwe're basically not going to feel safe even for a couple of months even after we're going to be fully vaccinated :(00:07
LjLnot if the vaccines are going to have effectively <50% efficacy over the dominant variant00:07
nixonixlets see when we get more hospitalization data vs 617.200:08
nixonixto me it seems, if you get large enough number of virions, you likely get infected even with double doses of pfizer. what the result will be, most often unnoticed asymptomatic perhaps, or then depends on number of virions, hard to say00:10
LjLespecially hospitalization data of vaccinated people... i can't make much sense of general hospitalization data about one place where Delta is prevalent without being able to untangle "who is it infecting, were they vaccinated?"00:10

Krey[m]aAAAAAAAaaAAaaAaaAAaAaaAAaaAAAAa00:12
Krey[m]also where is that person here who told me that delta variant is indian hoax~00:14
nixonix"Of the 42 infected staff members, 17 had received both vaccine doses and two the first dose.00:14

Brainstormnixonix: From www.helsinkitimes.fi: Outbreak in Hämeenlinna hospital led to a hundred infections, dozen deaths00:14
nixonix17 was the total i think...00:15
nixonixjesus the entrance of the hospital looks like from hell... maybe its just the pic00:16
Krey[m]I wonder if i should wait now that there seems to be a growing number of people of my age that have heart inflammation after the COVID-19 vaccine00:17
Krey[m]O.o00:17
* Krey[m] will get a vaccine in 2 days00:17

Krey[m]nice00:18
nixonixthere was a meeting today about those myocarditis cases00:18
nixonixi wouldnt wait, but maybe id read what they said after the meeting00:19
Krey[m]link me the meeting please00:19
nixonixi dont have it00:19
Krey[m]aAAaaAaaAAaAAAAA00:19
lavadonut"The case are rare," she said. "Over 20 million adolescents and young adults [have been] vaccinated in the United States." Still, the cases of either myocarditis or pericarditis, which involve inflammation of the heart or the surrounding tissue, are higher than what would be expected for this age group.00:19
lavadonuthave they been testing for myocarditis before in general?00:20
lavadonutdo youths not just have mycarditis because it's 2021 and everyone is obese00:20
lavadonutmyocarditis*00:20
LjLKrey[m], you'll get more cardiac stress just by being this stressed/afraid than from the vaccine00:20
Krey[m]Just when i was getting less worried after talking with a family doctor on the vaccine aaaAaaAaaaaAAAA00:20
lavadonutdo you have family history of heart problems?00:21
Krey[m]<LjL "Krey, you'll get more cardiac st"> doubt depending on what is causing the heart inflammation assuming it being related to the blood clots00:21
LjLwhy do you assume that?00:21
Krey[m]<lavadonut "do you have family history of he"> none that i am aware of x.x00:21
lavadonutthen just get the vaccine and relax00:21
Krey[m]<LjL "why do you assume that?"> because i am too dumb to have imagination to what else could possibly cause it00:21
lavadonutif you're worried about your heart then lose 10 lbs or stop smoking or start eating whole grains or something00:22
Krey[m]aldo infection comes to mind but i don't see how that could be a case00:22
nixonixhttps://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/acip/meetings/index.html00:22
LjLKrey[m], so am i, but surely you can acknowledge that things are Complicated™ and just because blood clots have been the things in the spotlight so far, they're *very unlikely* to be the only mechanism in action when you get a vaccine00:22
Krey[m]i ain't smoking, i've gained 7 kg since 47days and i have vegetarian diet aaaaa00:22
lavadonuti've been fully vaccinated for 1 month and i'm fine00:23
Krey[m]LjL: ye i guess O.o but i would be less worried if i know what that was caused by00:23
lavadonuti went to las vegas and didn't get covid00:23
nixonixhttps://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/acip/meetings/downloads/agenda-archive/agenda-2021-06-18-508.pdf00:23
Krey[m]<nixonix "https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/aci"> thanks!00:23
Krey[m]<lavadonut "i went to las vegas and didn't g"> i ain't you and i hate people so las vegas is hell for me00:24
Krey[m]also they kick me out of casinos for knowing math too often >.>00:24
Krey[m]was such a great way to make money U_U00:24
lavadonutnice00:24
Krey[m]why is that meeting not public aaaaa00:24
LjLstop saying aaaaaaa ffs00:24
LjLif you're panicking take a break, don't get others to panic too00:25
lavadonutwWWWAaaaaaaaarKIgarhakrahrakrahrhawWWWAaaaaaaaarKIgarhakrahrakrahrhawWWWAaaaaaaaarKIgarhakrahrakrahrhawWWWAaaaaaaaarKIgarhakrahrakrahrhawWWWAaaaaaaaarKIgarhakrahrakrahrhawWWWAaaaaaaaarKIgarhakrahrakrahrhawWWWAaaaaaaaarKIgarhakrahrakrahrhawWWWAaaaaaaaarK!!00:25
Krey[m]I guess it's in my personality >.>00:25
* LjL head-desks00:25
Krey[m]not panicking.. rather concerned and reconsidering my life decisiosn00:26
Krey[m]also i like my heart, it's so nice you should see it! absolute model00:26
lavadonutKrey[m]: there might be some good reasons not to get vaccinated, personally i don't think the myocarditis risk is one of them00:26
lavadonutespecially if you have no family history of heart disease00:26
Krey[m]what are the other reasons00:26
LjLmathematics is hard for me. if it's easy for you, then i don't get why you have it so hard to figure out that no matter *why* there is this or that rare risk, the chances of COVID fucking you up are clearly worse00:27
lavadonutidk, there just could be some00:27
lavadonutclearly i don't know of any good enough to not have gotten vaccinated myself00:27
Krey[m]LjL: bcs i  know math and  i know what influences probability !00:27
lavadonuti'm more worried about permanent lung, heart, and brain damage from covid than i am from the vaccine00:27
Krey[m]e.g. average person in europe has X amount of percent to be shot in the head.. that probability increases if you have a gun and point it to your head too often ~00:28
LjLKrey[m], well, clearly you want to get talking to someone more experienced than me with all of mathematics, statistics, and biology / medicine. but guess what, i suspect they're unlikely to take you seriously and try to engage with you if you just go "aaaaaAAAAAAAA" on anything00:28
Krey[m]lavadonut: I am self-isolating since 11/2019 and i wear a gas mask when i go out so the risk of getting covid for me is slim.. at least i like to believe that x.x00:28
Krey[m]LjL: b-but my heart!00:29
lavadonutsounds like me :D i was working from home, avoiding 95% of building entries, and wearing N95+goggles if i did have to go in anywhere00:29
LjLKrey[m], your heart may be the bestest heart but we'll only get to see its beauty when you're on the autopsy table00:29
lavadonutit's so nice to go in buildings again :D00:29
* Krey[m] goes to find a 3D image of his heart from magnetic resonation 00:30
Krey[m]LjL: No cutting in me you yandere 🔪00:30
Krey[m]aldo i am less concerned of it being 300 out of milions then i was for the 3 women out of milions who died on it O.o00:32
Krey[m]also the CDCUS meeting is next week? -- https://youtu.be/gJe9lwl786A?t=2400:32
Krey[m]says June 18 on hte thing x.x00:33
LjLjune 18 was yesterday00:34
Krey[m]today for em!00:34
Krey[m]*me00:34
LjLoh right today, whatever, i just meant it's not next week00:34
Krey[m]she said next week and she said it today O.o00:35
LjLhmm, i dunno00:37
LjLKrey[m], The June 18, 2021 COVID-19 meeting is being rescheduled due to the observation of the Juneteenth National Independence Day holiday. The discussion will be rescheduled to be included as part of the June 23-25 ACIP meeting.00:37
LjLKrey[m], but it will be webcast apparently, see https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/acip/index.html00:38
BrainstormUpdates for Zimbabwe: +408 cases (now 41335), +9 deaths (now 1656) since 22 hours ago — Sierra Leone: +78 cases (now 4631) since 20 hours ago00:38
Krey[m]damned biden making a new holidays 💢00:38
Krey[m]ah webcast, great O.o00:38
* Krey[m] talked to his doctor and rescheduled the vaccine until the meeting x.x00:39
LjLdid your doctor sigh deeply00:39
Krey[m]nah was kinda her idea x.x00:40
nixonixand said no, im not going to prescribe you ivermectin for covid00:40
Krey[m]... or she was annoyed that i am waking her up and just said anything to make me not bother her which also works00:41
Krey[m]<nixonix "and said no, im not going to pre"> what! i ain't no parasite u.u00:42
lavadonutwhat vaccine were you going to get?00:43
Krey[m]Pfizer/biontech00:43
Krey[m]I hate that CDC_US just recommends the vaccine because "Kids are in public and they die of covid" factor00:43
Krey[m]would they do the same if this wasn't the case? O.o00:43
lavadonuthow old are you?00:44
Krey[m]dunno stopped counting after 13 bcs i get depressed >.>00:44
lavadonutor age range00:44
Krey[m]early 20s i think00:44
* Krey[m] is watching https://youtu.be/qAO60IU8dxQ00:46
lavadonutwho the eff is dr. john campbell?00:46
Krey[m]> My name is John Campbell and I am a retired Nurse Teacher and A and E nurse based in England. I also do some teaching in Asia and Africa when time permits. These videos are to help students to learn the background to all forms of health care. My PhD focused on the development of open learning resources for nurses nationally and internationally.00:47
LjLsomeone who routinely summarized covid info on youtube. i've found his summaries less than stellar lately. actually not lately, a while ago, i've stopped watching them a while ago00:47
Krey[m]LjL: same +-00:48
lavadonutwell he says that if you get covid, you'll get heart damage00:48
Krey[m]i also hate british people and their way of talking makes me distressed x.x00:48
Krey[m]too much of a psycho~00:48
lavadonutso the .001% myocarditis risk from the vaccine is way better than that00:48
lavadonutlooool00:48
Krey[m]lavadonut: it's not .001% if you don't know what influences the factors00:48
Krey[m]could be .001% for you and 100% for me :p00:49
lavadonutyou said you have no family history of heart disease00:49
Krey[m]i don't find that being a sane argument assuming the reports associated with thrombosis which to me could cause the inflammation00:49
lavadonutdo you have family history of blood clots?00:50
Krey[m]not that i know of, but then my parents are dead O.o00:50
Krey[m]and i have sore back too often~ but that's probably bcs of the pillow >.>00:50
Krey[m]also assuming that covid-19 causes inflammation of the heart so i think it's more related to the SARS-CoV-2 and possible to the mechanism used in mRNA to trigger the immune response O.o00:52
lavadonuti think LjL was right from the beginning on this one, if you get a heart problem, it won't be from vaccines or covid00:53
Krey[m]also looking on what are allegedly autopsy of the covid-19 mortals seems to be indicative of blood clots ?00:53
Krey[m]lavadonut: x.x00:54
lavadonutif you're really worried about your health, getting the vaccine is the best thing you can do, covid is no joke00:54
lavadonutespecially an mrna one, they seem safest to me00:55
Krey[m]i am not in the risk of getting covid.. it's just a matter of me being more comfortable to go out atm O.o00:56
lavadonutbeing comfortable to go out after over a year of being a complete shut-in is pretty nice00:56
Krey[m]and i am concerned about mRNA as it's their first production use and i am concerned about long-term side effects such as the possibly myocardial injury00:56
Krey[m]lavadonut: like i am going out on my property where i grow plants and stuff and i have animals surrounding me and people keeping me company~00:57
lavadonutsounds like you just don't want it then00:58
lavadonutso stop worrying about it00:58
Krey[m]i don't want long term side effects, permanent tissue/other damage and death yes00:58
lavadonuthow funny, that's the exact reason i got the vaccine :'D00:59
Krey[m]also mythosis doesn't work for muscles e.g. in heart00:59
Krey[m]which is what i am concerned about00:59
Krey[m]or things in spine00:59
Krey[m]also looking on the campbell video monitoring of troponin levels in blood seems sane O.o01:01
LjLwait for that meeting, try to take it at least a bit easier in the meanwhile01:01
Krey[m]hmm x.x01:02
Krey[m]why can't  i just get immunoglobin in me blood to get the resistance01:02
Krey[m]e.g. oil and water won't mix until i add in an alcohol .. would think that the human body would work same way assuming it being a chemical reaction01:03
LjLwhat01:03
* Krey[m] was that explained multiple times, but he's still confused01:03
Krey[m]LjL: like bypassing the mRNA thing to trigger immune response and rather giving the silver bullet agains vapires to the immune system01:04
Krey[m]*vampires01:04
LjLwell Novavax bypasses mRNA and just gives you the protein01:04
Krey[m]so like instead of making them to fight and figure out what works to give them..01:04
Krey[m]O.o01:04
LjLbut it doesn't directly give you the antibodies, i don't think your existing immune system would like *that*01:05
Krey[m]x.x01:05
LjLyou have to make your own antibodies i'm afraid, unless you're already sick and then an antibody cocktail may save you01:05
Krey[m]so the vaccine would have to be made using my cells for the immune system to like it right01:06
Krey[m]bcs the immune system is like an antivirus on computer checking signatures ?01:06
Krey[m]and if so is there something like `sudo disable signatures`01:06
LjLi am not going to make stretched analogies, and i'm also not an expert on the immune system. the gist as i understand it is basically 1) if you just get antibodies injected into your blood system, that could serve as a treatment, but your immune cells won't *produce* any more, so when they're gone, you're no longer protected; 2) you cannot inject immune cells that are already trained to produce the antibodies, either, because your immune system would recognize01:07
LjLthose cells are foreign and attack them01:07
LjLso yeah, i suppose a "personalized" vaccine would involve taking some of your plasma with immune cells in it, adding some S-protein, waiting for immunity to form, then filter it so the S-protein goes away (it could give you myocarditis or something otherwise!), and put the result back01:08
Krey[m]so what about me getting the immunoglobin through e.g. novavax and then french kissing someone with covid for immune system to be able to make the antibodies01:08
LjLi have a feeling that would not only be very expensive, but also have many more chances of something going wrong than a scale-produced standardized vaccine01:09
Krey[m]x.x01:09
hirogenhey guys i never got covid I'm sure of it my GF had it at one point and had loss of taste, her daughter had it bad long covid, and i was around them both, both also had side effects from the vaccine, I even worked in Milan when it went into lockdown the week before, I work in London and I have been workin in the biggest hospital corona wards in London!! so i was wondering are there some01:09
hirogenpeople who simply won't contract it?01:09
Krey[m]i don't mind paying for my health >.> that's like the main reason for me to put an effort in being rich~01:10
LjLhirogen, i don't think any such thing has been found, but then, they haven't really done challenge studies01:10
Krey[m]hirogen: "never got covid" is not the same as "going on the test to check immunoglobin G" btw.01:10
LjLhirogen, how "sure" you are that you've never gotten covid? have you had a very reliable antibody test? because otherwise you could have had it asymptomatically01:10
LjLalso, i've been in Milan all this time, and i also probably haven't gotten COVID01:10
LjLso i'm not sure just saying "I've even worked in Milan when it went into lockdown" is a cogent argument that you must have been exposed to COVID01:10
hirogeni mean in the context of the fact I've now had both pzier jabs and still didn't have any side effects01:12
hirogenand it got me thinking I do stay fit, im not an addict i got a slight belly but i do train gym 5x a week including running and boxing , weights and lots of walking to work and back01:12
Krey[m]"about the people who just won't contract it" i was french kissing a girl few hours after she had sex with her boyfriend who had a covid-19 at the time and i didn't get covid (proven through lab tests)01:13
Krey[m]So i guess that could be a thing but i highly doubt it x.x01:13
Krey[m](she was diagnosed with covid few days after btw)01:13
* Krey[m] feels like a hero in a zombie apocalypse as a result of it, but ain't risking that again01:13
LjLi cannot rule out that some people may exist who "just won't contract i". but evidence would seem to point to the overwhelming majority of people *being* able to contract it: i remember for example the numbers in some US prisons01:13
LjLKrey[m], i have difficulty reconciling an event like that with the claim that you are too protected to get COVID01:13
Krey[m]hirogen: FWIW i also stay fit, not addicted to anything and i do all day in gym 4x a week01:14
Krey[m]<LjL "Krey, i have difficulty reconcil"> i said that in 12.05.2020 in 14:37:11 CEST01:14
Krey[m](here)01:14
Krey[m]ehhh that could have been 14.05.2020 or 16.05.2020 that day is blurry for some reason x.x01:15
Krey[m]i think it's because of the damn font i had for clock at the time it makes 2 look like 4 which looks like 6 and 801:15
Krey[m]💢01:15
LjLfaaaair enough, i don't need the millisecond01:16
Krey[m]no it was 14.05.2020 14:37:11 CESt because i was then eating tortilla and there was a news in TV on nova news that had a date at the left corner of the screen O>o01:16
Krey[m]<LjL "faaaair enough, i don't need the"> but that's the main reason for me to added them in my xfce4-panel!01:16
Krey[m]people get sooo freak out when i tell them the miliseconds01:16
Krey[m]also my memory improved by a lot during a covid i wasn't always able to pin point the exact numbers and stuff O.o pretty weird01:18
Krey[m]also that tortilla was tasty and i am going to make one01:19
Krey[m]hirogen: also if you want to make a sacrifice to the science and you didn't get the vaccine jabs yet then i suggest in non-legally binding and in a way that would get me in trouble ethically and stuff to go and try to get covid to prove your hypothesis that being buffed is a natural immunity~01:24
Krey[m]also i will be annoyed AF if i get this sentence quoted for when i will be doing my things to get a doctorine in medicine 💢01:24
LjLimagine me, getting annoyed AF at it right now01:25
Krey[m]nooo pleaseeee yandere-san don't ruin my dream of people calling me a doctor and me being able to cut in them and stuff to save their lives x.x01:25
Krey[m]also do you have any better way to prove the hypothesis01:26
LjLno, i suggest to refrain from proving it01:26
Krey[m]but imagine the potential for a workout motivation tapes01:26
Krey[m]"lift faster, work harder make your immune system ..."01:27
Krey[m]work in progress01:27
LjLwhat does that even have to do...01:27
Krey[m]if proven i woudn't need the vaccine and i would go on my daily swimming and exercising01:28
Krey[m]and potentially the general populus would care more about their health after that assuming it having a major positive impact on immune system to avoid being locked in for years01:29
Krey[m]assuming it being pretty quaranteed now that SARS-CoV-2 ain't the last one to put us in mass quarantine01:29
* Krey[m] doesn't know how to write quaranteed and his attempt of ducking it failed01:30
Krey[m]also i've noticed similar claims from people who exercise as much as i do in relation to covid-19 so i think it would be worth researching O.o01:31
* Krey[m] feels like he's making LjL more angry to file a complaint on him and goes to hide01:32
LjLactually i wasn't looking because there was someone making death threats in a different channel01:33
LjLso you see, your OCD/fretting/hypochondria is definitely benign compared to that, just exhausting01:33
Krey[m]ah i get those daily give him my email kreyren@fsfe.org i need something more original01:33
Krey[m]makes me feel like people care about me that way ^-^01:33
LjLclearly you also needed your email in the public logs01:33
Krey[m]yes because FSFE has to handle spam filter instead of me while me still having a private email01:34
Krey[m]it's a perfect crime01:34
LjLand you can also pretend to care about free software when the "E" part mostly means y'all are fine with Zoom and stuff!01:34
LjLbut hey that's a topic for another channel so shush ljl01:34

hirogen<Krey[m]> hirogen: also if you want to make a sacrifice to the science and y - too late I had to take the jabs cos i got a job in NHS working in IT so had to support the corona wards mate01:37
hirogendidnt wanna risk giving it to ppl or my parents01:37
Krey[m]ahh too bad~01:37
Krey[m]aldo i guess that if this was a thing observed by someone with this lifestyle they would be pretty vocal about it assuming the monetary opportunity01:39

LjLnixonix, i don't understand that sydney morning herald article. are they saying that the projected rate *due to AZ* has increased compared to initial estimate, or do they mean the rate has increased over time in the past years regardless of AZ? and if they mean AZ, do they mean future (long-term) risk?02:12
nixonixi just had a quick glance, lemme check02:14
nixonixwhen they got more data they got more evidence, that even the risk of death looked smaller than initially, other severe consequences looked more likely than they looked some time ago02:17
nixonixeven IF the risk...02:17
Krey[m]LjL: Looking in the heart inflammation that seems to be relavant to the arrival of delta variant in the US.. do you think it's caused by the delta variant exposed to the vaccinated teens?02:17

BrainstormLjL: In Finland, there have been 94154 confirmed cases (1.7% of the population) and 967 deaths (1.0% of cases) as of 14 hours ago. 5.3 million tests were performed (1.8% positive). Fatality can be broadly expected to lie between 1.0% (assuming prevalence as in tests) and less than 2.1% (considering only deaths and recoveries). See https://offloop.net/covid19/?default=Finland for time series data.03:07
nixonixyeah i think the rate is currently around 75/d03:07

RasAlGhoulSo a question I have that I hope to find the answer to04:47
RasAlGhoulIf people naturally contracting COVID-19 are dying from the virus and its spike protein activity, and the spike protein according to even vaccine skeptics is one of the best proteins to select for a vaccine against COVID-19, then why are people hysterical over the toxicity of the vaccine spike protein when you'd fare equally or worse with the actual virus?04:49
LjLRasAlGhoul, i guess it all boils down to the perception that something WILL happen (taking the vaccine) versus something that MAY happen (getting COVID)04:55
LjLin reality, the vaccine, yes, you get it, you get the injection, but chances that it'll do some bad shit to you are low04:55
LjLon the other hand, getting COVID, if you're unvaccinated, is sort of a given unless you're run over by a truck in the next couple of years04:56
LjLbut that's not the perception brains naturally get04:56
LjLthey see that some people get COVID but most don't, and they also see that almost everyone who gets the vaccine feels a bit sick for a day or something04:56
LjLit's irrational, but it's normal04:57
LjLif i took AstraZeneca and after a few days i got some strange rash or something similar to the symptoms of the rare blood clotting issues that have been described, rationally, i'd know it's very unlikely that's happening to me, and i'm just having a rash. but that's the rational part. another part of me would suddenly be scared shitless04:57
RasAlGhoulidk I fail to see a difference in the cytotoxicity between the vaccine and the actual virus05:06

Krey[m]*4205:10
LjLRasAlGhoul, the S-protein may have some degree of toxicity but 1) the vaccine create much less S-protein than an actual infection from the virus, and 2) the virus is and does much more than the S-protein, which is basically just the virus's way to enter cells. it may do damage but it's mostly collateral damage, the bulk of the damage is going to be the virus replicating tons, like with any virus05:12

de-factotraffic incidents normally are not contagious17:55
de-factoyet reproduction of a pathogen depends on the previous incidence, luckily right now we got something like R~0.8<1 or such17:57
de-factoin Germany that is17:57
de-factobut with the assumption that R(B.1.617.2) ~ 150% R(B.1.1.7) that would not be enough since it would imply current R(B.1.617.2) ~ 1.5 * 0.8 = 1.2 > 117:58
de-factothat is for now the majority of contributions still come from B.1.1.7 (and thereby also mainly its reproduction number)17:59
de-factothat will change though, what was the latest relative prevalence for B.1.617.2 in Germany? something like 6.5% or such?18:00
de-factoso we definitely should try to progress with vaccinations as fast as possible, hopefully outrun the rise of B.1.617.2 and thereby steal enough from its reproduction that it would not explode in our faces as did B.1.1.718:01
de-factoimho its a race condition right now18:02
BrainstormUpdates for United Kingdom: +5883 cases (now 4.6 million) since 15 hours ago18:04
de-factowe would need to aim for R(B.1.1.7) = R(B.1.617.2) / 1.5 = 0.75 / 1.5 = 0.5 hence a contact reduction to the 0.5 / 0.8 ~ 0.625-fold meaning 1 - 0.625 = 0.375 or 35.5% less contacts roughly canceling 1 of 3 contacts we have right now (all assuming the average, yet clusters probably play a role)18:14
de-factoalso if no transmission happens on a contact its basically "canceled" for pathogen reproduction18:16
de-factohence removing 1 of every 3 contacts where transmission takes place right now should contain B.1.617.2 in Germany (on average)18:17

Arsaneritde-facto: traffic accidents are not contagious as such, but nor is the act of dying (unlike the number of infections).19:08
ArsaneritI don't know how long people remain infectious after they die, but I don't think it's very long.19:08
de-factoa COVID fatality got infected some time ago and also was (or still is) infectious19:18
de-factohence there is a correlation between a certain prevalence of the unlucky that got a fatal progression and the generic likelihood of getting infected in an everyday scenario19:19
de-factoi was mentioning that because i wanted to give a hint at it being capable to develop its own (self amplifying) time dynamic, as we could observe in the exponential runaways with R>1 prior to the peaks we have observed19:21
de-factobut yeah there is a big delay between the infection and the time of death, e.g. right now we got too many COVID fatalities in Germany in relation to incidence19:23
de-factosome potential there to improve with reducing COVID fatalities, also in comparison to other (EU) countries19:23
ArsaneritI think monitoring infections makes sense, because it gives an indication of how risky it is "outside", and a first indication if there's going to be trouble in hospitals soon.19:26
de-factoyes exactly19:26
ArsaneritBut for reopening it may be better to look at intensive care occupancy, because I suspect that as more people are vaccinated, we're going to see more infections that do not lead to intensive care occupancy19:27
Arsaneritso the calibration between "number of infections now" and "number of ICU later" changes19:27
Arsaneritbut of course exponential growth is bad in any case19:27
de-factoyes that would be the hope, vaccinations capable of decoupling infections from hospitalizations, to a certain degree they can do that19:28
de-factobut as indicator for control, the infections themselves count as its how every case starts, so for controlling everything that comes after the initial infection the control must be about the infections themselves19:28
de-factoexample: even if the number of hospitalizations would be reduced to 1% of prior vaccinations (arbitrary value for this example), if infections would be 1/1% = 100-fold the hospitalization numbers would be just the same, yet with the disadvantage that now controlling 100-fold the infection numbers is much more of a challenge than only having to control 1/100-th19:30
BrainstormUpdates for Italy: +1193 cases (now 4.3 million), +28 deaths (now 127253) since 23 hours ago19:31
de-factothat is not even to begin to speak about breeding evasive mutants in a partially immunized population19:35
de-factoexample2: allowing 100-fold infections because expecting reduction of severe progressions to 1% by vaccinations (again arbitrary value for example) could breed an evasive mutant leading to a peak in severe progressions and then a 100-fold of incidence has to be brought down, that will require much more efforts and time than if it never was tolerated to go that high (or breed mutants)19:37
de-facto(ok to be fair those would be worst case scenarios, yet we should avoid any of such things to happen)19:37
de-factoi see it like this: vaccinations lower the probability of transmission, hence help us with ensuring R<1 with less restrictions, but that can never be an excuse to tolerate *any* VoC to rise with R>1 ever19:40
de-factoand R(B.1.617.2) > 1 right now is not tolerable imho, this must be changed with both NPIs + Vaccinations working hand in hand19:41
de-factoany scenario of high incidence is not to be tolerated, as are any indications that such a scenario is eminent to unfold19:42
de-factowhatever it takes to ensure that R>1 does not happen must be done, regardless of the costs, if vaccinations make it easier to achieve that we are lucky, but they cant replace control over incidence, they just help with controlling it as one of many measures19:44
de-factoactually there is only one indicator for control: incidence.19:45

de-factoit seems there are news rumors about them claiming it was more effective against delta, but also that they may offer "adjusted" update shots against delta20:31
de-factowhatever that means, its such imprecise information that its hard to distinguish if they mean "hey our current version is extra cool" or if they really updated the DNA-plasmid sequence to take the capabilities of the delta variant into account20:32
de-factoi guess we would have to wait for them to publish something themselves, i give null confidence about all that media PR stuff, the journalists probably dont even know what they write about themselves20:33
de-factowhy cant they just submit a paper and get it through peer review then link on it from their website and send that to journalists as basis to write their articles about?20:34

Brainstormnixonix: From www.tellerreport.com: The unexpected rebound of the virus that affects children - Teller Report21:29
LjLnixonix, but this is not COVID?21:30
de-factoidk i mean children usually get infected with a LOT of respiratory diseases in the kindergarden and school, ask parents they will tell you how often their kids are having a cold21:30
de-factoso its a constant stimulation for their immune system, it builds up "competence" against fighting those, its like a training, and if they get isolated for so long such infections are also prevented21:31
nixonixno, rsv in spain, and also in israel, something they havent seen before outside of winter seasons21:31
nixonixthat large scale, that is21:31
de-factothen if they come back together again it may possibly be that their immune system is not "on alert" anymore as it was before, constantly activated because of those viral respiratory infections, thereby it possibly could be that now those that were isolated for so long are extra-susceptible to exposure for such viruses21:33
nixonixi dont believe its something like about general immune response weakened because of lockdowns and stuff. its not like when you get infections, outside of very early age, they would strengthen your immune system21:34
LjLnixonix, maybe during winter, lockdowns were harder and children were less likely than usual to get a yearly "cold-type" virus, and normally that's why they don't get it in the summer - because they already got it in the winter - but now it's a little different with loosening of restrictions in the summer...?21:34
de-factobut that is a bit of a speculation i have to admit, yet its fact that 1) normally children got a lot of respiratory diseases in that young age and 2) their immune system is not constantly activated by such infections if isolated21:34
nixonixanother thing it can be, just that after a long pause for certain infections, there are not much immunity in population for just those. so they might all get now them at the same time, unlike at normal times21:34
LjLyeah that's more or less what i meant i guess21:35
de-factonixonix, i partly disagree there, it may be important for some some pathogen that children may acquire immune competence at a certain age against them, either by infection or potentially also by vaccination, depending on the pathogen21:35
de-factonot speaking of COVID there, just to make sure, yet the hope would be that with covid it also would possibly work like that without too much harm, yet do we know that already? i doubt there is enough data about longterm effects of covid on children21:36
nixonixwhat i know about the subject, it should be at very early age. like during the first 0-2 yo. the same about those intestinal bacteria vs allergies21:36
de-factoits probably quite complicated subject but isolation also can have its bad effects to some degree21:37
nixonixits just that in general public there is a common view, that if you get flus and stuff every now and then, your immune system would get weaker. but if you have links saying opposite to my understanding, im happy to read21:38
nixonix*if you DONT get flus...21:38
nixonixisolation may mean less exercise (eg insulin production), vitamin d and stuff like that21:39
de-factoi think its a bit like training, if the likelihood of a pathogen probably not going berserk like COVID can in some cases it might be that its stimulating the immune response, yet some pathogen might become endemic in cells and stay there, waiting for immune response to become weak (e.g. herpes virus family)21:41
nixonix"if COVID-19 were in fact to cause permanent insulin-dependent diabetes, SARS-CoV-2 would be unique. Data on SARS1 are inconclusive in this regard21:42

LjLde-facto, what was that strange pseudo-scientist with a site or pdf that predicted with fancy biology descriptions i couldn't make sense of (whether they made any sense or not) that vaccines would just make the virus tougher and attack younger people more22:59
LjLalthough i guess he didn't have a better counter-suggestion than just "let the virus do whatever and do nothing about it"22:59
nixonixthere is a view, that population should be vaccinated fast, so that virus would have less chances to develop vaccine breakthrough variants23:36
nixonixobviously this wasnt possible because way too many ppl were dying and not enough vaccines available. and those current VOC variants developed before vaccines were available, or possibly the indian variant when only very few were23:38
nixonixuk is a lab for those type of concerns, when they had long intervals, and while faster than other europe, still not very vast vaccinations. and lots of infections during the winter, and largish population too23:39
nixonixand it seems no new VOCs developed there during the vaccinations23:40
nixonixso imagine that eg europe would have waited till december 2021 perhaps, so that we would have enough vaccines for all. and only then started to vaccinate everybody in a few weeks23:43
nixonixi dont know if those scientists that had that view really wanted that..23:44
