de-factohmm behind paywall00:01
de-factobut here is the preprint https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.05.08.21256619v200:01
LjLi think that's the one that they sequences two of in italy00:06
LjLah UK, not Italy, but Italy has it too00:09
LjL<Brainstorm> LjL, Italian to English: In the last 45 days, among the lineages not monitored by the COVID-19 Integrated Surveillance System, and identified in I-Co-Gen, 3.74% is represented by VUM (Variant under Monitoring - lineages: B.1.1 .318 and C.16), while 13.26% from VOI (Variant of Interest - lineages: B.1.621, C.37 so-called lambda variant, B.1.620 and P.3). (MyMemory, Google)00:09
LjL<Brainstorm> New from Eric Topol: @EricTopol: Impressive and a glimpse into the future. Sequencing #SARSCoV2 in hospitals rapidly identified 2 cases of B.1.621, community transmission in the UK, when 99% of cases were Delta. Done in <24 hrs, instead of 10 days https://www.thelancet.com/journals/laninf/article/PIIS1473-3099(21)00482-5/fulltext@TheLancetInfDis → https://is.gd/pFHD5100:10
rpifanis it possible that getting infected from the virus and having the antibodies00:27
rpifanprovides better protection then the current vaccines?00:27
LjLsure00:28
LjLalthough so far the best understanding is that disease + vaccine > disease and also > vaccine00:29
LjLdisease alone < vaccine00:29
rpifanso i should go get microchipped anyway?00:29
LjLyes00:29
LjLespecially if you don't know whether you had Delta or what00:29
rpifanbut why00:29
LjLbecause of what i just said?00:29
rpifani had whatever was floating around valencia 3 weeks ago00:29
LjLi'm afraid i don't know what was floating but was likely more than one thing00:30
rpifanwas in a hostal00:30
rpifanso its very likely a mix of shit00:30
rpifanlots of foreign ppl00:31
rpifantho mostly europeans00:31
LjLnot entirely sure why you'd do something like that00:31
rpifanwelll00:31
rpifanmoney mostly00:31
rpifanwas gonna stay in a hotel but last minute i ran out of money so i had to switch00:34
twomoonwhat does this mean? ... "disease + vaccine > disease and also > vaccine" ?00:35
de-factostop traveling rpifan thats not good00:37
LjLtwomoon, i mean that getting the disease and the a dose of the vaccine seems to give more/broader immunity than either getting only the vaccine or only the diseease00:39
de-facto.title https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.08.04.21261561v1.full00:39
Brainstormde-facto: From www.medrxiv.org: More rapid, robust and sustainable antibody responses to mRNA COVID-19 vaccine in convalescent COVID-19 individuals | medRxiv00:39
twomoonvery interesting ljl00:41
twomoonwhat about getting the vaccine and then a mild infection (reversing the order)00:41
twomoonprobably that wouldn't be all that different in immunologically speaking but would be less fatal00:42
twomoonless deleterious i mean00:42
LjL"(19 previously diagnosed with COVID-19 [RecoVax]; 49 never been diagnosed [NaïveVax])" pls00:42
LjLtwomoon, not sure they've studied that, but maybe00:42
twomoonhmm i wonder what NaïveVax is , i haven't come across that before00:44
LjL...00:44
twomoonThis study includes the assessment of total antibody levels, antibody avidity and neutralizing antibody levels in 49 uninfected vaccinated (NaïveVax) and 19 previously infected and vaccinated (RecoVax) healthcare workers. This response was again compared with the normal antibody response after infection in 160 unvaccinated patients with mild symptoms (OutPtNoVax) and 122 unvaccinated acutely infected patients (HospoNoVax) at the beginn00:44
twomooning of the pandemic.00:44
himesamahow do you convince your carer's parents not to fly into town, where there are no mask mandates, in the us, and meet with your carer?  probably for dinner and loud talking.00:46
himesamafor several weeks00:46
LjL"that'll kill me and i don't want to die, mom"00:47
twomoonnaivevax = non-infected and vaccinated00:47
himesamaif they don't come now they will have to come in a year and they don't want to do that.  carer thinks it is possible to be safe.  i do not think so.  i am not vaccinated for a variety of health reasons.  living in same house.00:50
LjLtwomoon, congratulations :P00:56
twomooni think i'm still missing something tho00:56
twomoonyou know that nagging feelling where you just know your comprehension of something is not complete00:57
LjLoh yes but i have it always00:57
twomoonhaha00:58
twomoonyou should take a break ljl. you're probably frazzled at this point without fully realizing it01:03
GabinDid someone say coffee break?01:03
GabinOh, nope, that's just the voice in my head saying "Coffee break!" every five minutes.01:04
GabinSo, I have a friend...01:04
GabinAnd they won't get vaccinated.01:04
GabinBut they currently live near an urban and perhaps left-leaning city, so many people they know give them a hard time.01:05
twomoonpushing vaccines now isn't the same as pushing vaccines 5 months ago01:05
twomoonit's starting to become obvious that the vaccine needs to be updated to handle the new variants01:06
twomoonthat the mutation rate is very high01:06
GabinThey've had covid twice, that I'm aware of.01:06
twomooni'm sure some smart ppl see that updated mrna vaccines are on the way01:07
twomoonand if people can be literal hermits until then, it may be better to wait it out01:07
GabinShould I be putting more effort into reasoning with this person? When they explain how they're justified, some of it is hogwash and I ask them to stop expecting me to swallow their explanations, or even having to hear it without a big keyboard nearby.01:08
Gabin"But Fauci is lying, he's gonna get fired!", etc.01:09
dTalprobably not01:09
GabinI'm not big into keeping up with the news, but hearing this FoxNews type stuff pushes me into having to call them on each detail.01:09
Gabin"Hold on, let's research what really happened."01:10
dTalI can't tell you the right strategy, but trying to argue with facts and logic is the wrong one.01:10
dTalif they've had covid twice I wonder if getting vaccinated is even worth it for them anyway01:11
GabinWell, many places have a policy that if you are not vaccinated, you need to wear a mask.01:15
LjLtwomoon, i'm taking a break, barely looked at the channel today01:17
LjLmy policy has a place that if you're a human over 6 years old, you need to wear a mask. also i noticed what i just typed at the start of this sentence, but decided to leave it that way.01:18
twomoonmasks are rough in hot weather. i know they help but damn they're rough when it's like 60% humidity and 30C01:21
LjLit's indoors only now01:25
LjLoutdoors you need to be carrying one, but don't need to be wearing it unless you can't maintain distancing01:25
LjLi.e. you don't01:25
de-factoMasks dont restrict any breathing, its about getting used to them, i was able to drive bicycle fast in summer heat with FFP3 without being restricted from the mask01:46
Julius_Why am I in this channel again? Covid-19 does not exist, and the people in here are fascist idiots. Fuck01:46
Julius_Shit auto-connect01:47
de-factolol you are not expecting anyone to believe your bs are you?01:47
twomoonhe's trolling01:47
twomoondon't react to it defacto01:48
twomoonmasks restrict breathing if you have health problems like me and already almost have congestive heart failure01:48
twomoonthey definitely restrict breathing a little01:48
Julius_de-facto, you dont have to believe anything. You just have to proof Sars-Cov-2 exists if you claim so01:49
twomoonand when you say "they don't restrict any breathing" you just mean " a healthy person shouldn't experience reduced blood oxygen levels after wearing a mask when he's not exercising" or something like that01:49
Julius_Btw, you can even win 1.2 million dollars by proving that, so good luck01:49
dTalJulius_: why are you still here? I thought you joined by mistake01:50
de-factoJulius_, i dont have to proof anything to you, your claims are ridiculous, a statement about your mental capacity rather than about what you say01:50
Julius_dTal, shitty autoconnect brought me back to you fascists :/01:50
dTaland yet you're still here01:50
dTaltalking01:50
LjLand ban evading01:50
Julius_de-facto, thats how science works. If you dont have a proof, dont claim Sars-Cov-2 exists01:50
de-factothere are many proofs it exists thats consensus for anyone with half of a brain01:51
rpifanwell i had covid now01:51
rpifani can travel01:51
Julius_And if Sars-Cov-2 does not exist, so does Covid-19 not exist by definition01:51
de-factoyou trolling about it being non existent is an extraordinary claim that you wont be able to prove01:51
twomoonde-facto, can't you tell he's trolling01:51
twomoonyou're feeding him right now01:51
Julius_de-facto, there is no proof it exists. There even was a case where a Canadian court couldnt proof the existence lately01:51
LjL<Brainstorm> New from r/WorldNews: worldnews: Serbia authorises third shot of COVID-19 vaccine, minister says → https://is.gd/8tRJ8c01:54
dTalGabin, that's an awful rule both ways01:54
dTalvaccinated people should still wear masks, especially with delta01:55
joebrandinhello01:55
LjLhi01:55
dTalbut natural immunity should "count" imo01:55
joebrandinhave you guys met any people who just vaccinated?01:56
joebrandinand felt side effects?01:56
dTalonly in the mirror this morning01:56
joebrandinso called shedding xd01:56
LjLno side effects for myself, very mild ones for my parents, although a puzzling potential one with my mom01:56
dTal"shedding" whut01:56
LjLoh, you mean *that*01:57
joebrandinprotein01:57
joebrandinand potentially more01:57
LjLdTal, anti-vax people have come up with this idea that your S-proteins as a vaccinated persons will be breathed out and they will "catch" them01:57
himesamathat is probably conspiracy stuff01:57
LjLso they're turning the whole thing around and talking about being vaccinated against the vaccinated01:57
LjLi'm really not sure how much more ridiculous things can get01:57
dTalLjL: yeah I vaguely gather...01:57
joebrandinwould be interesting to test already vaccinated for presense of s protein pass 1 month01:57
joebrandinLjL, well in usa many vaccinated people are banned from premises01:58
twomoonalmost everyone i know felt side effects such as aches and pains and headache and basically just want to incapacitated for a day01:58
dTaljoebrandin: the "shedding" thing is about 5 layers of baloney01:58
LjLjoebrandin, but how? if it's somehow still being produced, it might be in specialized places, and you may not just find it in the blood or breath01:58
twomooni mean, just want to be in bed for a day01:58
dTaltwomoon: that's me today01:58
joebrandinshedding is real01:58
joebrandini met one vaccinated person same day - heavy legs01:58
dTalno headache or flu symptoms but really wiped out01:58
joebrandinetc01:58
joebrandinhad to take antidote01:59
dTal"antidote"?01:59
joebrandinyes01:59
dTalwhat "antidote"?01:59
joebrandinwell its a fairly common word02:00
LjL*sigh*02:00
joebrandinso yes took antidote for days02:00
dTallet me get this straight, "antidote" for "heavy legs" caused by vaccine "shedding"?02:00
himesamashedding occurs with vaccines.  but only certain ones.  my doctor said so.  but i suspect the word is being used too sloppily here.02:00
LjLdTal, SHEDDING, WHICH IS REAL GODDAMMIT02:00
LjLbut also02:00
LjLno02:00
LjLif "shedding is real" show me the study that say so02:00
dTalantidotes are for poisons02:01
joebrandinhave you guys done a blood test to see if you still produce spike protein?02:01
LjLif there is no legitimate study that says so, don't say it02:01
joebrandinwell spike protein is a poison02:01
LjLjoebrandin, has the person that purportedly gave you heavy legs?02:01
dTalokay I'm switching off now02:01
LjLjoebrandin, this is not the channel for you02:01
joebrandini could not convince her to do the test02:01
joebrandinmaybe you can do it?02:01
joebrandinwhy speculate, test and see02:01
LjLno, sorry02:01
himesamacdc says so02:02
joebrandinwell if its nothing, nothing will be there02:02
dTaljoebrandin, I don't know if you're trolling or deluded02:02
dTalbut this is way out there02:02
LjLjoebrandin, but i might catch COVID in the process of getting tested02:02
LjLbright fucking idea02:02
joebrandinLjL, ?02:02
joebrandinyou simply send blood to lab02:02
joebrandinto see if it contains s proteins02:02
LjLsure, i draw my own blood02:02
joebrandinyes02:02
LjLno02:02
joebrandinyou are vaccinated right?02:02
LjLyes02:03
dTalthis is ludicrous02:03
joebrandinand vaccine suppose to protect from covid02:03
himesamaflu vaccine shedding  https://www.cdc.gov/flu/professionals/acip/safety-vaccines.htm02:03
joebrandinwell then02:03
LjLno02:03
twomoonthe reason i chose a mrna vaccine over a adenovirus vaccine is because it looks like mrna have been studied a long enough time already and adenovirus has more weird issues in its history02:03
LjLwe know very well now that the vaccine doesn't fully protect against Delta02:03
LjLwhich is prevalent in my country02:03
LjLand you know that as well02:03
joebrandinthen why vaccinate?02:03
joebrandinif its not working02:03
LjLyou know all these things very well02:03
dTal50% reduction in long covid risk02:03
LjLi didn't say "it's not working"02:03
LjLi said something very different02:03
joebrandindefine fully02:03
LjLno02:03
LjLi have spent months gathering studies on things02:03
joebrandinits either works or dont02:03
LjLyou can see them in the topic and in zotero02:04
LjLno it's not02:04
LjLbut maybe you're a black and white kind of person02:04
LjLwe don't want them here02:04
LjLplease find your way out02:04
joebrandinbizzare fears02:04
joebrandinuse science02:04
joebrandindo blood test02:04
* LjL tells him "i gathered a ton of scientific studies in the place you can see above", he goes "use science!"02:04
twomoonbut let's not pussyfoot. a lot of pro vaccine folks have been caught off guard by how well the vaccine can infect and multiply in certain tissues of the vaccinated folks02:05
himesamamultiply?02:05
himesamawhy would it multiply?02:05
himesamaor do you mean the vector ones?02:05
twomooni mean the virus, not the vaccine02:05
LjLtwomoon, yes, you know, things don't always go the way you want02:05
twomoonsorry02:05
LjLthat doesn't make the vaccine worthless though02:06
LjLit certainly calls for better ones02:06
dTal...it makes it kinda worthless, to be honest.02:06
twomoonyes i know but it does show that the predictions of even the smartest people can be quite off02:06
LjLdTal, remember when you just got a vaccine yesterday?02:06
LjL:P02:06
dTalI mean I just got vaccinated, but it will make no difference to my quality of life.02:06
LjLdTal, agreed on that02:06
dTalStill have to wear a mask everywhere, avoid gatherings, have no social life02:07
LjLdTal, but what about that amount of deaths on the curve? isn't it mostly a good thing to see it much lower?02:07
twomooni actually like wearing masks. maybe we can make influenza extinct forever with masks =)02:09
dTalLjL: is it much lower?02:09
twomoonbut masks are hard on floridians and southern italians and malaysians let's not pussyfoot02:09
LjLi don't think i do02:09
LjLdTal, in proportion to the case count... yes02:09
LjLthe case count is mostly continuing to do its own thing02:10
LjLwhich is a shame02:10
LjLbut about 1/10 the deaths, i'll take that for the time being02:10
twomoonpls feel free to make a bold prediction for when pandemic will end02:13
LjLdepending on the definition - not in my lifetime02:13
twomooni just wanna be able to look back on this chat and say "hah that turned out to be pretty prescient"02:13
dTalthat's extravagant02:13
twomoonalthough, i don't save chats really02:13
dTalanother few years would be my guess02:14
LjLdTal, you know, you're saying more or less the same thing i used to say when having tantrums against the possibility i'd get AZ, "with that vaccine nothing would change for me". which was probably true, in part because it was my subjective perception of how protected i was that would make it true02:14
LjLi did say depending on the definition, but, i think this virus will come back repeatedly from animal reservoirs close to humans02:15
LjLso there will be an end to the "pandemic" in the sense of a continuing general emergency, but there will have to be continuing vigilance and possibly local lockdowns and more rushes to make vaccine02:15
himesamaif a vaccine is 39 percent effective against infection, does that mean every high risk exposure to known contagion has a 61 percent chance of infecting?  if no mask or poor seal.02:16
LjLtwomoon, i don't know if i can make predictions about more specific things but if you define when in your view it stops being a "pandemic" maybe i can be more specific02:16
LjLhimesama, not necessarily because the vaccine being 39% effective (or whatever is the number) may mean that it's just near-100% effective for some people, and near-0% for others, and you don't know which you are02:17
LjLnot saying that's actually the case, but it could be02:18
LjLanyway no vaccinated person should knowingly be having a "high risk exposure to known contagion", that's for sure02:18
twomoonit stops being a pandemic when the prevailing variants no longer have the dangerous ACE2-attacking spike protein because evolutionary pressures from the vaccines have made the ACE2-attacking spike protein useless for propagation02:18
LjLwith no mask or whatnot02:18
LjLtwomoon, why? what if the other ways they find for propagation end up being worse?02:19
twomoonyeah that's true, i didn't think of that heh02:19
LjLthere are already hints the virus has other ways of attacking cells, nixonix may be the expert on that02:19
LjLone threshold line that's often brought up is "when it's about as deadly as the flu and no more"02:19
LjLbut i have some issues with that02:19
LjL1) what about long COVID? is it still going to be more prevalent than "long flu"?02:20
LjL2) is it going to be "just a flu" for everyone, or just for younger people who catch it as kids?02:20
LjLplus, but i already said it, 3) is the potential for coming back mutated (from animals, humans, whatever) in a way that makes it much nastier going to be higher than the flu?02:20
twomoonour scientific understand of biology is not yet to the point where we can figure out ahead of time all the possible ways a spike protein can be 'dangerous' to a cell02:24
twomoonthis is a tought predicament to be in02:24
lasexivovobestoAre there booster vaccines for the delta variant yet?02:26
LjLno02:26
lasexivovobestoah ok02:26
LjLnot outside of trials anyway02:26
de-factohimesama, vaccine efficacy VE := 1 - RR = 1 - ARV/ARU hene RR = 1 - VE = ARV/ARU or ARV = RR ARU = (1 - VE) ARU, with ARV = breakthrough / vaccinated and ARU = infections / unvaccinated02:26
LjLbut they're being developed02:26
lasexivovobestoNeat02:26
LjLtwomoon, i'm not sure why you fixate on the spike protein though, the spike protein itself is only so dangerous because it is what lets the virus enter the cells. all viruses have *something* that gets them into cells, or they wouldn't be much of a virus02:27
LjL(the S-protein may be dangerous for other reasons that the anti-vax people like to tout, as well, but we don't know that for sure and the bulk of the danger is almost certainly not from them)02:27
twomoonbut it is the spike protein which decides which tissue to infect and that is what makes the virus effective in harming people02:28
LjLlasexivovobesto, if you look at the top of the "vaccines" section at https://github.com/ljl-covid/links we have some trackers listed that follow the development of most/all vaccines02:28
lasexivovobestoHow much computational power does it take to simulate a spike protein and a cell?02:28
lasexivovobestoOh thanks02:28
LjLsimulating a cell is definitely going to be a very tall call02:28
LjLiow nothing we're even close to doing now02:28
LjLprotein folding itself is still complicated02:29
lasexivovobestoWell I know there's BOINC pools for protein folding02:29
himesamanobody knows all metabolism02:29
LjLyeah, because while it's easy to go from DNA/RNA to amino acids (well, sometimes there are tricks that make even that tricky, but still), it's not easy to go from the amino acids to the eventual form the protein will take, nevermind its properties and what it can interact with and in what ways02:30
himesamasorry, don't understand.  this could be useful.  rr means what?  hene means what?  can you supply a real-world example poerhaps?  --- 17:26 <de-facto> himesama, vaccine efficacy VE := 1 - RR = 1 - ARV/ARU hene RR = 1 - VE = ARV/ARU or ARV = RR ARU = (1 - VE) ARU, with ARV = breakthrough / vaccinated and ARU = infections / unvaccinated02:31
de-factoRR = 1 - VE = ARV / ARU is the risk ratio of the two attack rates and hene is a hence without the c02:32
de-factothe risk ratio determines how much the attack rates are reduced relative to non-vaccinated people exposed to same conditions02:33
de-factosuppose VE = 90% hence RR = 100% - 90% = 10% = ARV / ARU hence ARV = 10% ARU02:33
himesama2 people, a and b, take a plane across the usa, and they are vaccinated, and then spend weeks at destination.  destination has no mask mandate and poor compliance and poor vaccination rate.  1 person, c, is also vaccinate dwith pfizer.  spends lots of time with a and b.  likely eats meals with them, at restaurants.  many times.02:35
de-factomeaning from 10 cases in unvaccinated 9 are prevented and one is a breakthrough02:35
himesamai want to know, in that case, what the probability is of c being infected.  reason being that i live with c, and i am extremely vulnerable and unvaccinated and a hospital stay itself would be dangerous for unrelated health reasons.  i want to approximate the chances of c getting infected.02:38
de-factoimpossible since you dont know all the situations they are participating in02:38
de-factobreakthrough infections are possible and with either slightly reduced shedding or even shedding with similar viral load to non-vaccinated02:39
de-factoits all about probabilities for large cohorts, it does not allow to predict single scenarios02:40
himesamaand 1000x the original outbreaks virions (although not known if viable or so)02:40
de-factoyes02:40
himesamait seems without me being able to calculated it that the chances of c getting infected are high.  also, if c gets infecdted, i am likely not to surivive for complex reasons i won't go into.02:41
de-factothey measured ~10 ct values difference in china for delta to the a/b strain02:41
himesamaand the chances of a and b getting infected are even higher02:41
himesamaand the hances of my getting infected if c gets infeted is high as i cannot wear mask all the time sharing indoor space etc.02:42
himesamaas it turns out, a is a mathematician.  if i can provide a plausible, even if approximate, math for this, perhaps it could convince that airplane not good idea.02:44
himesamaretired mathematician, elderly02:44
LjLmaybe a would tell c that their chances of having bad outcomes from the vaccines are dwarfed by their chances of getting bad outcomes from covid02:46
GabinHow does natural immunity compare to having two mRNA shots? Can we put this on a linear spectrum?02:47
himesamaa b c are all vaccinated02:47
LjLright, then not c, you.02:48
himesamac with pfize02:48
GabinAnd how does natural immunity from having covid about a year ago, compare in the context of variants and boosters?02:48
de-factoGabin, recoveries immunity spreads from non-existent to almost as high neutralization as mRNA vaccination02:48
himesamaif i get vaccinated this very minute, without even checking to see if i would get fatal anaphylaxis or angioedema or permanent worsening of other conditions, my antibodies will not be anywhere close to where they need to be by the time c becomes contagious02:49
Gabinah, so like 0 <= nat_imm <= mRNA vacc?02:49
de-factoits not clear since immunity from recovery spreads a LOT02:49
himesamai will get vaccinated and will be taking enormous risks to do so.  i do not know when.02:50
de-factoalso the symptoms are extremely diverse, some have none others end on ICU02:50
Gabinspreads? you mean like natural immunity has statistically been transmissible?02:50
de-factospreads in a statistical way about a very wide range02:50
LjLhimesama, well, i'm just thinking, you've waited months and now you're close to a "risk encounter"... maybe it would be *more* worth to take those enormous risks *somewhat early* so that you're actually protected, you know, before getting sick. hindsight maybe.02:50
GabinAh.02:50
lasexivovobestoWhat kind of risks? How would getting vaccinated cause fatal anaphylaxis or angioedema etc?02:51
GabinI recall Fauci recently saying that unvaccinated and vaccinated may start with similar transmissibility, but it drops off faster in vaccinated.02:51
GabinLike, "number of contagions" or something like that.02:51
LjLde-facto, Gabin: also let's not forget the usual: it's not just about *how many* antibodies, but also *how many types* of antibodies (the breadth of response, not so much IgG vs others), and then T-cells, and maybe other things we know even less about. meaning: immunity from getting the disease might be quite *different* in a not directly comparable way from vaccine immunity, especially given the vaccines we use only present the S-protein instead of a full virus02:52
himesamai am going as fast as possible with appointment with doctor to discuss whether the vaccine will kill me or not, etc.02:52
LjLlasexivovobesto, he has some unusualconditions02:52
GabinSymptoms? Most people I talk to say they had soreness in muscle surrounding shot, me included.02:52
lasexivovobestoOh, that sucks02:52
GabinI'm guessing that's because the mRNA vaccine is doing work in the surrounding muscle tissue?02:53
LjLwell, i don't know, honestly i imagine even if you were just being injected saline, it would hurt for a while02:53
Gabinhimesama: If I understand correctly, usually the risks of not acting outweigh the risks of doing.02:53
LjLstrangely it almost didn't hurt for me after the second shot02:54
LjLGabin, again he has some unusual conditions, and while i think i still agree with you even in that case, #itscomplicated02:54
de-factoits the early immune reaction against the intruder, in this case the vaccine itself and the cells beginning to bloom with the antigen, the s-protein, provoking the immune system to raise its response and learn to recognize it next time02:54
GabinOkay02:54
de-factothe early reaction is called reactogenicity and its not directly linked to later immunogenicity (generating the immunity) because that needs a lot of time and optimization hence the long process of two shots and weeks delay02:55
LjLGabin, i'm not shutting discussion of this up, i just want to avoid him needing to keep repeating that the situation is not typical02:55
himesamaagain, even getting vaccinated right this minute (not possible but still) will not stop any transmission to me for this particular case02:55
GabinUnderstood. Sorry, I didn't read the scrollback carefully.02:56
himesamait will b useful for future cases, but i might not be alive in future cases if this viusit goes ahead02:56
LjLhimesama, okay, but, while right now we may think real hard on how to avoid this visit going badly (not sure how much we can really do, but for argument's sake), i have a feeling that afterwards, you'll still stall because you won't be feeling like you have a proper risk assessment. but will you ever?02:57
GabinI was going to the gym with the "if no vacc, wear a mask" policy, and so I was thankful to take mask off, especially for cardio, and obviously when swimming. (I noticed a swimming instructor wear a face shield.)02:58
GabinNot just for ease of breathing, but it just feels gross to breathe heavily into a mask, and sweat, etc.02:58
himesamai will get vaccinated even with the extremely high unknowns and risks.  i have to.  it might not be soon but that is not due to feeling.02:58
GabinI do still attempt to keep distance when mask is off, and wipe down equipment with the provided sanitary wipes.02:59
LjLGabin, unsolicited advice, but, either keep wearing the mask, or don't go, is what i would do. not before Delta, but definitely after Delta.02:59
LjLof course i realize it's far from great to wear a mask while exercising, but *shudder* Delta02:59
himesamawhere can i get a mask of any type that is at least as good as n95 and has no valve  i suspect i have to leave hosue to get vaccinated and whereever i go will insist on non-valved even if i tape my valves seurely.03:00
LjLGabin, to be fair, if you're wearing an N95, breathing heavily into it means making it wet which it has been my understanding it means rendering it almost useless03:00
GabinYeah, fortunately trying to go frequently to gym was a short experiment in getting more cardio, I will probably start to do more staying isolated, I think I'm fine going back to just strength training at home for a while.03:01
GabinInteresting.03:01
LjLhimesama, get a 3M Aura. Amazon should carry them.03:01
LjLGabin, i have a treadmill at home. they are not cheap, but if you have some space for it, it's not like gyms are free either03:01
GabinYeah I'm considering getting cardio equipment for home. I think I'm hesitant to committing to a single choice of cardio movement. I'll probably sooner get a heart rate monitor, and just use my current equipment to the point that it keeps my heart rate to a certain level.03:03
GabinI'm guessing a heart rate as a target is a sufficient replacement for "cardio machine"03:04
LjLGabin, i haven't found a heart rate monitor that's actually reliable while exercising, let me know if you find one... anyway what most random people get is an exercise bike, but i think that's much more prone to causing issues than something you just run on03:04
LjLissues for you, not mechanical issues. the mechanical issues are worse with the treadmill i'm afraid :P03:05
GabinI don't think running works for me anymore, given my current body state, I don't want to gamble in investing in it right now. I was looking at rowers, bike machine may work. Presumably the heart rate monitors that go around the torso give more accurate data than the type that read your skin on wrist or w/e.03:06
GabinI have a squat stand with pull up bar, spotter arms, rings, a bench, I think I could creatively use all that to get heart rate up, if I had a monitor to motivate.03:07
GabinOh, the running is also an issue as noise passes to neighbors too easily here.03:08
rpifanfancy gym with a ppool03:08
GabinYeah my gym has pool, basketball court, etc.03:08
GabinLjL: Are you on any channels where it's more appropriate to discuss the tangent on cardio? So now I'm curious how you felt heart rate monitors did not suffice, as I am somewhat in the market searching for one.03:14
LjLGabin, no, not really. i've only had experience with a wrist band (accurate statically, shit while moving), the electric monitor that's part of my treadmill (bad idea to keep touching the bars, but even aside from that, it sucks and measures all wrong), and i did have a torso one which also didn't work very well at all, at least not before you were properly sweating03:15
rpifanfancy03:15
LjLbut it's all stuff on the cheap side03:15
Gabin"Buy nice not twice" ;)03:16
Gabin-- salesman, probably03:16
LjLyeah, for each of them "nice" is whatever they're selling :P03:16
GabinI saw it on a forum so they couldn't have been affiliated /s03:17
LjLi'm not really seeing any channel that may have better info on this in the channel list03:18
GabinIs there an ideal sort of mask for cardio in the gym? I've been wearing these OR masks since the beginning, when I bothered to search for masks with a nice length adjustment at ear.03:20
LjLnot sure. surgical will mostly protect others, but N95 will mostly stop protecting you when it gets wet. maybe some of the reusable masks with a good fit (do they exist?) could be of interest here... they won't be filtering as well as a dry N95, but maybe close to a wet N95 :P but my personal feeling is masks and gyms won't work very well together03:22
LjLso i only have a very few votes in the poll, but since it doesn't look like anybody else is inclined to cast more, does anyone right now have any objection to bringing back the whole Brainstorm & RSS feed into this channel (as opposed to ##covid-ticker) right now?03:24
dTalI guess it's a tradeoff between protection and ease of breathing03:24
GabinMaybe I should come up with more alternatives, such as just biking to a turf field and jump roping there. Worth an experiment, not sure how much ice and aspirin I'll need after.03:25
GabinCan't really jump rope at/near home.03:25
himesamawho does anybody include?03:26
himesamaanyone* (real question)03:26
LjLwell, pragmatically anyone who's here right now, but what i said originally was that i wanted votes from channel regulars03:27
LjLsomeone who's just driving by, i won't count that for much03:27
GabinI'm new here, but it sounds like something I can write a filter for in my client. I have had to do that on many channels historically.03:27
himesamai am unable to deal with feeds from sources that are known anti-covid03:28
himesamaincluding long covid03:28
twomoonwhere does gabin live?03:29
LjLhimesama, if by "knowing anti-covid including long covid" you include someone who wrote ONE article where he said that some people's symptoms MAY be psychological, i think you're taking it too far. however, fyi, i had already removed Balloux because i consider that he writes too much stuff that's mostly of a bickering nature instead of interesting COVID news.03:29
himesamaas for having brainstorm here, if it does not include such feeds, it makes perfect sense03:29
LjLhowever i'm not going to remove valuable sources just because they happen to have published one article on the Lancet (or the Lancet itself)03:29
Gabintwomoon: crowded area discourages my desire to be noisy at home, or exercise nearby03:30
himesamabeg pardon?03:30
twomooni see03:30
LjLi'm just saying, you don't like Lancet, that's an example of where i would call it nonsense to exclude Lancet from things that Brainstorm posts on just because they have anti-X stances or published anti-X articles sometimes in the past, when it's one of the most used journals for COVID things03:30
LjLsimilarly Balloux posts many useful things, and i originally added him because nixonix would often bring his tweets up (and, there again, i'm *definitely* not going to ban nixonix because he does that! so do we have a problem with that?)03:31
LjLeventually i found that too many of his tweets are more noise than signal after all, but not because of that one thing he wrote about psychological symptoms03:32
himesamai am feeling very uncomfortable, and your assmptions about why are probabaly false03:34
LjLokay, well, for the time being i'm taking this as you having an objection with me bringing back Brainstorm under the terms i've tried to highlight03:35
LjLso i'll let the poll run for a bit longer03:35
LjLfeel free to vote against, i wish i could run it anonymously, but i practically cannot without risk of cheating03:36
himesamabeg pardon03:36
himesama'?03:36
LjLso far i've had, i think, *two* votes that weren't my own, so it's not a strong indicator03:36
LjLwell, you're saying you're feeling uncomfortable and that indicates you want to drop the discussion for now if you don't want to correct my probable assumptions, so since my assumption is that you're uncomfortable because you don't like what i outlined, it seems logical to consider it an objection like the ones i solicited03:37
himesamai cannot foollow this and i am a lot more uncomfortable now03:58
LjLyou said you don't want some sources. i cannot guarantee you won't get any such sources.03:59
LjLthat's the gist03:59
himesamayou are attacking me again saying i did or said things i did not do or say04:16
LjL<himesama> i am unable to deal with feeds from sources that are known anti-covid04:49
LjLi wonder how that was "not saying it"04:49
LjL<himesama> i am unable to deal with feeds from sources that are known anti-covid04:49
LjLhow is saying that "you don't want some sources" attacking you or saying you said things you did not04:49
LjLyou literally did say that04:49
LjLi'm a bit fed up, you don't get to use your being uncomfortable/unable/etc as shield for everything04:50
himesamathe second i finally fixed my client give me a minute before attacking04:50
himesama(temporarily fixed it, as in, got back on and got the topic)04:51
LjLstop being duplicitous. you just said again i'm attacking you, right after i said i wasn't attacking you but simply representing what you said.04:51
LjLthis is not honest.04:51
himesamai didn't hear you say any suych thing but can you lay off for a second please?04:52
himesamaespeially with accustions like dishonest04:53
LjLthen do the same, especially with accusations like "attacking"04:53
LjLi'm attacking you *now*, because you unwarrantedly said that04:53
himesamawell here goes nothing.05:44
himesamawhat follows is mixture of written earlier and now.  it is05:45
himesamanot what i would normall write.05:45
himesama"<LjL> however i'm not going to remove valuable sources just05:45
himesamabecause they happen to have published one article on the05:45
himesamaLancet (or the Lancet itself)" idk if this channel is even05:45
himesamaworking as i am not getting the topic but i said exactly05:45
LjLugh05:45
himesamaidk if anything got pasted.  flood protection.  i should have known.05:48
himesamacan somebody pm me the last line that got pasted?  i dont' want to duplicate05:49
himesamano need05:55
himesamahttp://sprunge.us/2jn3Ho05:55
LjLhimesama, you quit with Excess Flood, you were pasting too many lines at a time06:01
LjL<himesama> working as i am not getting the topic but i said exactly06:01
LjL* himesama has quit (Excess Flood)06:01
JbwncsterI can’t read that06:02
LjLlook i could try to explain again why i said those specific things, which were mostly examples to get you to understand what is or isn't going to be posted by the bot06:03
LjLbased on some background knowledge of what you don't like06:03
himesamayou can't read what06:04
LjLand the fact that you were specifically objecting to that tweet from that person who had written some long COVID symptoms may be psychological. that's *all* i know about that person being "anti long COVID"06:04
LjLbut i don't know if i should be bothered, because you go "to say those are unbelievably strong and vicious attacks."06:04
LjLokay so i'm vicious06:04
LjLcalling my attempts to explain vicious attacks06:05
LjLi could say THAT's vicious06:05
LjLand in fact, i do06:05
LjLi'm fed up06:05
LjLyou gave your opinion06:05
LjLi tried to explain why your opinion didn't quite necessarily match what Brainstorm would post06:05
LjLso i said that i would still hold off putting Brainstorm back on06:05
LjLbut then you start saying that i'm attacking and attacking again and now "vicious"06:05
LjLgive me a break!06:05
LjLif i'm that vicious, go elsewhere06:05
LjLi'd like you to be here but not if it had to be such a nightmare06:06
LjLsheesh06:06
LjLenough for tonight, i'm gonna sleep06:06
LjLi called your debate method dishonest because that's very much what it felt like06:06
LjLyou raise red flags when it looks like it's most convenient06:06
LjLand i've had this for a while and now i'm tired of it06:07
LjLand other people/ops here would probably tell me i'm already spending too much time discussing this06:07
LjLso i'll stop06:07
LjLwhat is not changing, though, is that some of what Brainstorm posts involves opinions, partly because i cannot magically make it distinguish opinions from specific reports of facts06:08
LjLthe same people who report on facts sometimes also give opinions06:08
LjLif just ONE opinion makes you freak out then that's gonna be a problem06:08
himesama<LjL> with all my heart as before: fuck you <himesama> beg pardon?06:09
LjLa few things that are not easy to just catch from the very quick slew of medical papers are said on Twitter instead, so it makes sense for the bot to monitor the Twitter accounts that say those things06:09
LjLbut sometimes they'll have their own opinions too06:09
LjLi was exhausted and exasperated, kinda like i am now, except with less tinnitus06:09
himesamaonly one person in this hannel is allowed personal attacks on another member of the channel in violation of the written intent of the channel06:09
LjLokay06:10
LjLleave06:10
LjLyou don't like it here06:10
LjLyou don't think i respect my own charter06:10
LjLyou're bringing that up again06:10
LjLyou always forget and are "unable" to deal with things, unless they are the things that you can use against me06:10
LjLi don't like that, i'm fed up with that06:10
himesamas/attacks/invective06:10
LjLgo to ##coronavirus and see if the ops there are better suited for you and won't violate whatever rules they have06:10
LjLif we're going to go back to all that stuff, then well, you PRETENDED not to understand what "R" was and asking "why do we have opinions posted here" while you were SPECIFICALLY knowingly complaining about that particular person06:11
LjLthat is also dishonest debate tactics06:11
LjLand then you pretended not to understand that i was frustrated because i had fixed something and immediately someone complained about it06:12
LjLyou understand very very selectively06:12
himesamahttp://sprunge.us/cREjWI06:12
himesamais the rest fwiw no need to read if you don't want to06:12
himesamapretended?06:12
himesamabeg pardon?06:12
LjLyou are lying06:13
LjL"member, aimed with seeming intent to cause harm, in06:13
LjLcontradiction imio to the channel written intentions, AND06:13
LjLcan do so without any repercussions at any time"06:13
himesamafor example why is it implausible that i don't know who r is?  why are you accusing me of dihonesty ad laying?  seriously.  why?06:13
LjLit had repercussions on me. i got mad. i left the channel. i removed brainstorm06:13
LjLI CRIED FFS06:13
himesama(i mean, i know who r is now.  did not then.)06:13
LjLdo you think you're the only one who's affected by things?06:13
LjLand then06:13
LjL"and who has no problem implying banning anybody he doesn't06:13
LjLlike instead of listening to something that was trying to06:13
LjLsay somehting that you might have found useful."06:13
LjLi didn't ban you06:13
LjLi didn't ban ANYONE when i've thrown a tantrum06:13
LjLthe only person i've banned was myself, and my bot06:13
LjLso stop fucking lying to me with these things06:14
himesamait's implication06:14
LjLvery obvious implication06:14
LjLit's not better to make things implied, so that you can always claim you didn't mean that, than to be direct and go "fuck you"06:14
LjLmaybe it is in your culture, i don't know06:14
LjLin my culture and in my view, being sly with implications is annoying, and there's a point i'm going to get very direct about it and very angry06:15
LjLbut i STILL didn't ban or threaten a ban06:15
LjLso do NOT lie about that06:15
himesamayou have banned recently, you hafve that power, there is asymmetry06:15
LjLthat is NOT something "i can deal with"06:15
himesamaagain with lying?  beg pardon?06:15
LjLand stop saying "beg pardon"06:15
LjLyou are understanding what i'm saying very well06:15
LjLnow this discussion is over06:15
LjLnot gonna ban you06:15
LjLmaybe some other op will want to remove that later06:16
LjLand they can determine how much we're both responsible for +m being set at this point06:16
LjL-MatrixPeter: +m means the channel is moderated, which means only users which +v (voiced) or +o (opped) can speak18:04
pwr22Ah k18:20
pwr22I was guessing muted18:20
pwr22-guestDoes this message still appear in matrix...19:46
pwr22Hey LjL matrix lets me kick IRC users if I op up first19:47
pwr22LjL: ^19:47
LjL-MatrixPeter: but now in Matrix I see a separate pwr22 user!19:48
LjLpwr22, test19:48
pwr22Ah weird, who does this message come from?19:49
LjL-Matrixstill Peter19:49
pwr22Ha weird19:49
LjL-Matrixpwr22-guest: do you have to do anything special to kick users when you're opped (like doing it through the appservice), or is it just a Matrix kick?19:50
LjL-Matrixerr19:50
LjL-MatrixPeter even19:50
pwr22Some weirdness about it being a bridged / vs plumbed room maybe19:50
pwr22-guestI just did a regular matrix kick19:50
pwr22-guestI had to `op ##covid-19` to chanserv first19:51
LjL-MatrixThat's nice, the thing though is you do need to op yourself manually, unless you are set as always-opped but Libera frowns on that19:51
pwr22Yeah, really the bridge should try to op up if can I guess19:51
pwr22I'll take a look at the code some time and see what it does19:52
pwr22At least so far messages are still getting into IRC from matrix despite there me two me's19:52
LjL-MatrixMaybe they don't want to write network-specific things, as ChanServ doesn't work the same on all networks (although the /cs op command... I suspect it's preeeetty similar almost anywhere)19:52
pwr22Or maybe libera won't mind if people are op'd all the time in matrix bridged rooms where the bridge is like a core part of the room rather than a nice to have add on19:53
pwr22They have already written network specific stuff for it ha ha19:53
pwr22Probably just an oversight19:53
pwr22Probably find that the matrix admins in #matrix:matrix.org are constantly op'd in IRC?19:54
pwr22Ah the abuse bot is yeah19:54
pwr22That's their Mjolnir instance19:54
LjL-MatrixThe abuse bot puzzles me a bit, in two ways: one I think if you were designing a  brand new chat system, you'd try to make it so administration tools are powerful enough that you don't need a bot to help (on IRC, all the bots are partly due to the design of the network), and two, on Libera it's also kinda frowned upon to hide who is doing op actions... for example there is /cs quiet, where the quiet is done by ChanServ, but the quieted user19:58
LjL-Matrixis still told in a NOTICE which op did it19:58
pwr22Yeah it's definitely a different approach than IRC which I'm not particularly a fan of20:03
pwr22I don't think the bot does anything that can't be done manually by a mod but just builds some automation on top of it20:03
pwr22I expect more will end up in the client / protocol eventually20:04
pwr22Atm they need to get decentralised reputation stuff going then hopefully there'll be less need for so much manual moderation20:04
LjLpwr22, "reputation"?20:19
LjLfeeds will be back here shortly, since trying to talk about it seems to do the opposite of helping20:39
