de-factothat MIS-C incidence above is not with Delta though00:32
de-facto"This cohort study used enhanced surveillance data to identify persons with MIS-C during April to June 2020"00:32
nixonixsomebody claims in finnish twitter, that 9 under 10 yo children died in sweden (in finland none). anyone has links to swedish stats for confirming?00:34
nixonixcdc estimated, from data pre delta i think, the IFR for children - but what age - was 1/50k00:35
nixonixyeah everything is pre delta pretty much. do we have 2-4 severity factor, yet to be confirmed, but there are a few studies saying we have. not sure if we have some studies saying its the same, as finnish hc officials are still claiming (their own anecdotal data i think)00:37
nixonixsome of those were mixed pre-kent and kent, the latter supposedly around 50% more severe00:38
de-factohow is childrens immune response different to adults? do they even develop antibodies or is it more cellular immune branches and innate immunity? is there a possible threshold for those, e.g. Delta potentially able to overwhelm childrens success in clearing it easily by its much higher replication rates?00:38
de-factoe.g. could Delta deplete their T-cells easier by its much higher replication rates or such?00:39
nixonixi just saw somewhere, was it modernas tests on 12-16 or -18, showing similar ab titers than adults. claimed in tweet or something, didnt confirm00:39
nixonixyoung adults i suppose, because their titers are higher i think, 18-30 or something, compared to older00:40
de-factoyeah young adults probably are just "better" adults, but children potentially are not small adults they may have fundamentally different immune system reactions in some scenarios00:41
de-factoi dont know enough about pediatric immunology though00:42
de-factoits just what they said in some podcasts i listen to, that children may have fundamentally diferent immune systems in some aspects (without providing the details)00:43

nixonixdidnt have much interesting imo02:29
LjLhmm the vaccine effect looks small in those slides02:30
LjLalthough the "matched timepoint" cohort looks quite different in the first place02:30
LjLunless i'm missing something02:30
nixonixi think it was pretty close with the age group of -69, if i recall. but maybe those in the upper echelon of it, less common, so it would be most prevalent among 30-60, 35-55 or something02:37
nixonixless symptoms with those under 30, but what would explain less symptoms with old. difference in immune system, antibodies, cellular or perhaps innate02:38
nixonix*cell-mediated02:38
LjLit also mentions it could be due to the survivor bias, i.e. the people who have a bad enough COVID to get Long COVID, if they're old enough, they just die02:39
nixonixdepends on symptoms i guess, but the most common reason for it02:39
LjLi'm ever more convinced i just don't want to get covid, but with the vaccines working the way they work, i don't know what more i can do to avoid it02:40
de-factoi am not sure if severe progression is required for long covid though02:40
nixonixwasnt it somethign like 15% of those over 80, and usually in the upper end of it too, so it doesnt affect that much (them dying)02:40
LjLde-facto, these slides seem to mostly say that it affects people who have severe covid, aiui. but yeah, this hypothesis doesn't hold much water if even mild cases can have it at the same rate02:41
LjLit also says something i didn't know i.e. that walking speed is a good proxy for mortality, and we always notice that my dad walks much slower than my mom :( and also i walk kinda slower than my mom now...02:42
de-factoi think one of the problems here is the long COVID being used as umbrella term, it probably would have to be differentiated into sub-categories emerging from distinct causes02:42
de-factoso your mom is really fast walker then :)02:43
nixonixim personally more interested in actual damage than perceived symptoms. and especially damage that is hard to diagnose, like in brains, telomeres etc. those are mostly forgotten when media or hc officials talk about long covid02:43
de-factowhat if it triggers the immune system to constantly attack some parts that get inflamed and causes by that the long lasting symptoms?02:44
de-factoi suspect something like that behind those brain fog thingies02:44
nixonixkidney, pancreatic beta-cells, other organs. stuff that can get damaged for lot of people, but only later in life affect02:44
nixonixyeah, could be autoantibodies attacking some receptors like with pandemrix induced narcolepsy (and h1n1 itself too, with the same N protein)02:46
de-factoi think i read something about epitope similarity between some parts of sars-cov-2 and brain cells surface02:47

LjLinfluenza N protein is unrelated to coronavirus N protein, right?02:51
nixonixi dont know much about influenza, how similar or different it is02:53
LjLmy googling seems to indicate the only commonality is they start with an N02:54
nixonixi just wondered where structural, non-structural and accessory proteins are synthesized with sars2. anyone knows?02:54
nixonixis it in nucleus like they proved with influenza, or cytoplasm, perhaps in vesicles02:54

Brainstormde-facto: From www.nature.com: Do cross-reactive antibodies cause neuropathology in COVID-19? | Nature Reviews Immunology02:56
nixonixno, in cytoplasm, but the mrna synthesis from viral rna, that is02:56
nixonixso does rna go to nucleus with sars2 or not02:57
de-factoi dont think so02:57
de-factoit was one of its advantages that it can be directly translated02:57
LjLit says on wikipedia that influenza A is negative-sense RNA. does that mean it's more similar to DNA in the way it gets transcribed?02:57
LjLit says that's unusual for viruses02:58
LjLso if it's more like DNA then maybe that's why it gets copied in the nucleus02:58
nixonixif it does, if you somehow have reverse transcriptase, from another (untreated) virus or with bad luck from retrotransposons, it might alter infected cells dna02:59
nixonixThe subcellular site/s of coronavirus RNA replication and transcription in the cytoplasm of infected cells is not fully defined, but thought to involve so-called “double-membrane vesicles” (DMV) in or on, which the virus replication complex synthesize the needed double and single stranded full length genomic and subgenomic RNAs03:02
nixonixWhile it is still unclear whether this RNA synthesis takes place inside or on the outside of these vesicles, it is thought that the membranes somehow “protect” the synthesized RNA, including double stranded RNA, from host cell recognition and response, and also from experimental exposure to RNase03:02

nixonixearly on, in march or something03:37
nixonixthe second dose did not result in further increases in the antibody titer and had the negative counterpart of reducing the relative reactivity of the antibodies with the B-1-1-7 VOC.03:40
nixonixIndeed, such loss of breadth was already detected as soon as 15 days after the first dose of vaccine, when the antibody titer against the Wuhan-1 strain had not yet increased significantly03:41
EricofAZg'day03:41
EricofAZthis is Evolver's channel?03:41

EricofAZArizona03:42
nixonixbummer03:42
EricofAZ:P03:42
nixonixthis is ljl's chan03:42
EricofAZI thought I saw evolver as an op here the other day03:42
EricofAZevolver had freenode ##cov03:42
himesamahow do you measure the breadth of an ab?03:43
EricofAZand since freenode impolded, I thought he went here03:43
LjLhimesama, i'm actually trying to figure it out from the paper03:43
EricofAZhi LjL03:43
nixonixmaybe they have different pseudoviruses03:43
LjLhimesama, i think the idea is you measure the relative efficacy at killing the Wuhan version vs B.1.1.7 or other things, and you extrapolate from that03:43
LjLhi EricofAZ03:43
EricofAZIs the wuhan version from Hobart Australia?03:44
LjL?03:44
EricofAZI think it was 2012 in Hobart that the australians took a strain of covid to Wuhan to study.03:44
EricofAZnot sure the date03:45
EricofAZthat strain may be the same as the wuhan strain03:45
EricofAZbut I only have memories of news I read.  I didn't log the websites, sorry.03:46
himesamahow many labs worldwide were studying the same virus?03:46
EricofAZI only came across news that the aussies took it to wuhan.03:47
himesamawas there any early case in hobart?03:47
EricofAZmemory is that there was an oubreak in hobart in 2012 ish kinda like sars, but different. closer to what we call sars 203:47
himesamaso not sequence then?03:48
himesamad03:48
EricofAZdunno03:48
EricofAZso I also recall a news article from march of 2020 that the aussies could synthasize the covid and therefore the idea was they could destroy it. I think that article is still on the internet03:49
nixonixratg13 was supposedly discovered 2012 (if it ever existed)03:49
JbwncsterWhy about the lambda variant?03:49
himesamaso like smallpox then03:49
nixonixand there was apparently an outbreak near the cave, killin six. in china, not in aus03:49
JbwncsterCovid is not a man made virus03:50
LjLcalling that "a strain of covid" is a little misleading03:50
LjL(partly because covid is not a virus, but even aside from that terminological technicality...)03:50
himesamaJbwncster: i don't think anybody here said it was03:50
JbwncsterJust stating a fact03:50
EricofAZLjL, my understanding is that covid has been around for thousands of years.  Some southeast asians have genetics that can deal with covid.03:50
LjLyour understanding is wrong03:51
JbwncsterSars not the covid-19 version03:51
EricofAZwe know that covid in a mild form is responsible for 1/3 of the common cold in USA (if I read right).03:51
LjLno03:51
LjLcoronaviruses != covid03:51
LjLCOVID-19 is a specific disease caused by SARS-COV-203:51
EricofAZyes, LjL, I understand that covid has changed and sars 2 is covid 1903:52
LjLthat's one coronavirus, among several coronaviruses that infect humans, and... thousands, or whatever, that are in animal reservoirs03:52
nixonixthere are two other human common cold betacoronaviruses, hku1 and oc4303:52
EricofAZnixo, yeah, several others that are 'common cold'03:52
nixonixbut their share of common colds are probably not near 1/303:52
LjL"covid has changed" is like you're taking a name that has been created for the SARS-COV-2 virus, which wasn't in humans before, and you're backporting the word to refer to any coronavirus disease03:52
EricofAZLjL, well, I don't mean to do that.  I guess I am speaking generically rather than scientifically03:53
nixonix-"other", since sars2 isnt common cold (as are not other human betacoronaviruses, mers or sars-1)03:54
EricofAZI'm new here so don't mean to elbow in.03:54
LjLwell, it's misleading. if you tell anyone that "covid" has been around for thousands of years, they'll think you're either lying, or everyone else has been lying to them. if the reality you mean is that *coronaviruses* have been around for thousands of years, well, that's fairly different to the layman as well as to the scientist03:54
EricofAZto me, mers is also a form of covid03:54
LjLokay, except it isn't03:54
JbwncsterCovid-19 is a different strain03:54
LjLwe're going to stick to the terms that we've collectively agreed upon03:55
nixonixno, also a from of human betacoronavirus, aka sarbecovirus03:55
nixonix*a form03:55
himesamai think we need more precision as there is already a lot of conusion and contradiction03:55
EricofAZLjL, let me find the article, I think I have it somewhere.  There was a journal article that some SE asians had encountered covid 25000 years ago03:55
JbwncsterCovid-103:55
JbwncsterNot 1903:55
EricofAZLjL, I'll follow your terms.  Need time to get used to them.03:56
JbwncsterCovid 1-1803:56
LjLthey're not "my terms". they're the terms the scientific community uses. the article you said almost certainly didn't say they had encountered "covid".03:56
nixonixcovid is short of coronavirus disease. in humans there are alfacoronaviruses and betacoronaviruses. i dont think "covid" was used before sars-cov-2, was it?03:57
EricofAZok, I'm looking... only found nipah virus, which is not what I was talking about03:57
EricofAZcovid is a short name of course but some are back applying it to prior coronovirus strains.03:58
LjLnixonix, it is short for that, the WHO created it like that, but it doesn't mean that now every coronavirus disease is "a COVID". linguistically, it could be that way, but it's not the way it's intended to be used03:59
nixonix.title https://www.the-scientist.com/news-opinion/a-brief-history-of-human-coronaviruses-6760003:59
Brainstormnixonix: From www.the-scientist.com: A Brief History of Human Coronaviruses | The Scientist Magazine®03:59
nixonixyes, i was not claiming "covid" was used for diseases from other coronaviruses04:00
EricofAZI'm not a fan of WHO or CDC for their early anti-mask, pro travel recommendations.04:00
EricofAZwell, WHO for the pro travel04:00
EricofAZI think CDC was not pro travel04:01
himesamathere was supposedly 20kya event or events that put genes into some east asians04:01
nixonixi actually changed "covid-19" in finnish wikipedia as "sars-cov-2". they changed it back in a minute, before i added link to that virologist group deciding the name04:01
himesama20-30kya04:01
EricofAZok, it is going to take me a while to find it, but I do recall an article that ancient SE Asians encountered covid and have some genetic changes.  Possibly why they fared better that us euro-americans.04:04
EricofAZby the way, my wife is Thai. I am Italian/English/Dutch.  I am 61.  We all got covid19 last November and survived.  Wife and her boys did well.  She was sick for a few days. I was very very wiped out but did not need hospital or reapirator.04:05
LjLnixonix, uh, what, why did you change it? they're two different things (although sure, we use "covid" often to refer to the virus informally) and probably get two different articles04:06
LjLand... yeah, fi.wiki has both pages04:06
EricofAZI was on a ginger/ginseng/liquorice root / ribivarin / diet since march 20 to infection date of nov 20.  It helped a lot.04:06
nixonixcovid-19 was used as a name for virus, when the viruses name was decided to be sars-cov-2. the name of the disease it causes, is covid-19. WHO doesnt agree, but its not up to them04:07
EricofAZHad long haul symptoms.  fatigue, anxiety, smell of metalic chalk, taste of salt.  Got the pfizer vaccines in april/may 21.  Now am symptom free.04:07
nixonixi changed the name of the virus correct04:07
himesamanixonix: i thought the d in covid stands for disease04:08
EricofAZnixon, yeah, I think the name of the virus and the disease are different.  Not sure why04:08
nixonixyep, as i wrote above04:08
EricofAZso the virus is sars 2, disease cov19?04:08
LjLEricofAZ, glad you're mostly okay. do you think the vaccine sharply changed your lingering symptoms, or did they just slowly fade?04:08
LjLthe virus is SARS-CoV-2, the disease is COVID-19, yes04:09
nixonixyeah, but many organizations prefer to use covid-19 for the virus too, not to offend china04:09
LjLbut "COVID" without the -19 is just a shorthand for COVID-19. it doesn't refer to other "coronavirus diseases"04:09
EricofAZLjL, the fading was slow from November 2020 recovery to April 2021 vaccine, very slow.  After the second injection May 2020, two weeks after, the drop off was very rapid.04:09
LjLEricofAZ, that's nice to hear. we were looking at some graphs on symptom changes after vaccination earlier.04:10
LjLfrom the graph, the changes didn't seem huge04:10
EricofAZLjL, for me, the changes after the second injection were huge.04:10
LjLbut there's a lot of confounding factors, the graph of people who had been vaccinated didn't even look very similar to that of people who had not04:10
EricofAZand it depends on the vaccine.04:10
nixonixi had forgotten, the original name was novel coronavirus 19, ncov-1904:11
EricofAZI studied a lot about this vaccine "miracle" for the long haulers and only a few articles identified Pfizer.04:11
LjLEricofAZ, if it was after the second injection, and assuming that's true for most people, then we may have a problem, because various countries decided to only vaccinate people who already had COVID with just one dose04:11
nixonixor temporary name04:11
LjLnixonix, actually, 2019-ncov iirc04:11
EricofAZnixonix, lol, yeah, "novel"04:11
LjLthat was also the original channel name04:11
nixonixi see links in my url history with nCov-1904:12
EricofAZLjL, well, there was a lot of controversy about those who had and survived covid if we really needed the vaccine.04:12
EricofAZBut after reading the "long hauler" stories, I decided to do it and glad I did.04:13
LjLi class that as extremely silly controversy04:13
LjLbut giving only one shot may have seemed sensible04:13
LjLespecially since many who had been infected has stronger side effects from the vaccine, so why give them two doses if one was enough to boost their already-existing immunity04:13
LjLbut long COVID does change that picture potentially04:13
nixonixit seems its better to give them one shot. at least for some time04:14
JbwncsterI am glad I got the vaccine04:14
nixonixlike i quoted a bit earlier04:14
JbwncsterI’m sad more people in USA aren’t getting it04:14
nixonixaround the line where i mentioned "israel"04:14
EricofAZIf you want, I can tell you day to day about covid for me.  I recorded every day.04:15
LjLnixonix, in Italy they mostly give J&J to people who had COVID so the issue is automatically sidestepped04:15

lastshellthats good ^16:38
JbwncsterAlso a bunch of people on rizon are telling the world they printed their own vaccine card and falsified the info16:39
de-factothe challenge in measuring efficacy is to compare two study arms exposed to exactly the same conditions at the same location/time/demographics/etc, hence the approval trials employing double blinded studies, but then one would have to accumulate enough breakthrough infections in the vaccinated cohort for comparing the attack rate to unvaccinated and therefrom derive vaccine efficacy16:40
lastshellthere are also cases that people get 3 jabs falsifing the 2nd shot16:41

Lyra2021but i suggest u to read Chinese Wikipedia when u are going to learn about something in China,it will be more comprehensive17:04
de-factointeresting, so mainly inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccines with adjuvants17:06
Lyra2021yes17:06
de-factodo you know the reason for that?17:07
Lyra2021and in mainland china ,most of the people think it will be more reliable than mRNA vaccines17:07
Lyra2021thats one of the important reason17:08
de-factointeresting17:08
de-factomore reliable in terms of catching antigenic drift ?17:09
Lyra2021no,they dont considered in that way actually17:09
Lyra2021Inactivated vaccines have a long history17:09
de-factoah i see like more the "traditional" way17:10
Lyra2021They d like to trust in which looks like to be safe in history17:10
Lyra2021yes17:10
de-factohave there been inactivated coronavirus vaccines in use before?17:11
Lyra2021no17:12
Lyra2021but they think its the same to other virus17:12
de-factoafaik there were some in development against SARS-CoV-1 and MERS-CoV, but i am not sure if they also tested inactivated or rather developed those Adenovirus-vector vaccines and later adapted them to SARS-CoV-217:14
lastshellhttps://nypost.com/2021/08/15/tennessee-officials-seize-fake-covid-19-vaccine-cards-from-china/17:15
lastshellinteresting the fake covid vaccine cards are made in china17:15
de-factoi guess one advantage of inactivated virus vaccines could be that they offer a broader range of epitopes for the immune system to attack with antibodies etc, but not all of them may be as neutralizing as blocking the key for cell entry, e.g. s-protein17:15
de-factobut maybe (speculation!) a lower neutralizing efficacy is the price for inducing a more broad immune response, e.g. one that does not decline as much under antigenic drift (variants)17:17
Lyra2021lastshell maybe,but people in china mainly think that was because someone book it from Chinese factories,so they produced it(actually,i dont knew about this news)17:19
Lyra2021(but they like to say so in other things)17:19
de-factoyet in the Sri-Lanka paper the binding also decreased significantly for Beta, not so much for Delta17:20
de-factoi wonder if it depends on the exact strain of SARS-CoV-2 they grow in the vero cell lines and then inactivate with beta-propiolacton17:21
de-factomaybe growing several variants of SARS-CoV-2 in parallel in separated cell lines (to account for diversity in growing rates) and then mixing them together in equal parts to inactivate them for the vaccine could give an even broader spectrum of antibody affinity?17:22
de-factoalso i wonder, how do they prevent antigentic drift in their cell lines? they should ensure as few serial passes as possible, hence need a super high reproduction on cellular level17:24
Lyra2021de-facto    And,in hk/macao SAR which controlled by PRC de-facto,theres more types of vaccines to choice,includes BNT16217:25

Lyra2021de-facto according to the current vaccination data in Hong Kong and Macao, the adverse reactions of BBIBP-CorV vaccine and CoronaVac vaccine are more than BNT16217:44
Lyra2021(i am not very sure but it seems like so)17:45
de-factothe inactivated vaccines also require adjuvants such as aluminium hydroxide17:45
Lyra2021oh,i dont really knew about that()17:47
de-factoand i guess it could be quite challenging to purify those virions from debris of the cell lines used for growth, e.g. constituents of those vero cells17:47
Lyra2021so why do inactivated vaccines require it17:47
de-factoto attract immune cells at the injection site and make them aware of attacking the inactivated virus17:48
de-factobasically concentrating them at injection site17:48
JbwncsterI want all the unvaccinated people to be fined for knowingly transmitting the virus17:49

JbwncsterHow do you convince someone that emergency approval of the vaccine is the same as being approved?18:00
LjLwell, it's really not18:02
lastshellsadly is not18:02
LjLi mean, it's a type of approval, so it is "approved"18:02
LjLbut it's not equivalent in terms of thoroughness of testing to a normal approval18:03
JbwncsterWe already had testing on the same kind of vaccine though18:03
LjL"kind" as in mRNA/adenoviral?18:04
JbwncsterYes18:04
LjLwe didn't really have much human testing afaik (mRNA vaccines had never been used, adenoviral had been used just one), but even so, each vaccine is different. even if they're based on a given platform, they can cause unforeseen reactions18:04
JbwncsterBut it shouldn’t stop you from getting it18:05
JbwncsterEither18:05
LjLAstraZeneca blood clots and Pfizer myocarditis both came as surprises *after* the approval, for example18:05
LjLthat's not something that ought to happen in normal circumstances18:05
