| Trippy72894 | thanks again | 03:50 |
| ublx | severity and duration of long covid relates to severity of initial infection. vaccination reduces infection severity | 04:00 |
| Trippy72894 | ahhhh, okay. Thanks | 04:00 |
| ublx | apart from the fact that older and more vulnerable people (comorbidities) were vaccinated first (ie they were more likely to already have or be about to have cancer), it's too early to expect a signal relating cancer to vaccination. | 04:04 |
| ublx | i am not a <oncologist|virologist|multidisciplinarian> but that is the sense i have of your second question | 04:05 |
| ublx | would seem to be an odd expectation to have anyway | 04:08 |

| ublx | is what the problem is | 04:11 |

| Trippy72894 | well there are a couple of doctors one in Idaho and other other in Guelph canada who say it stops your t cells working or something. | 04:12 |
| Trippy72894 | looks like bunk to me. | 04:12 |

| LjL-Matrix | Is it bullshit? They don't prevent transmission. They reduce it, maybe by 63%, maybe by 35%, which wouldn't be much, and it's all in the range of things Topol lists | 19:32 |

| de-facto | wow LjL-Matrix hope you are fine there | 19:48 |
| de-facto | at least mobile network seems to be working there i guess? | 19:49 |
| LjL-Matrix | de-facto: actually my landline is working too, the server didn't seem to have issues, I turned it off as a precaution, because the lights flickered *repeatedly* | 19:51 |
| LjL-Matrix | Not sure what's going on since there is no thunderstorm | 19:51 |
| LjL-Matrix | but it's not just my apartment as alarms went off in the neighborhood | 19:52 |
| de-facto | weird indeed anything on the internet about it? | 19:54 |
| LjL-Matrix | I have been "burned" (or rather, my router's power brick has) once by a strange brownout where we had voltage fluctuating between like 60V and 100V | 19:54 |
| LjL-Matrix | Not on Twitter at least | 19:54 |
| LjL-Matrix | That time was weird because before I realized the voltage was all wrong, it felt like a "selective outage". Some lights and things were working, some were off | 19:54 |
| LjL-Matrix | But I have a voltmeter/wattmeter connected to the air conditioning circuit so when I checked that I realized the voltage was all funky | 19:55 |
| LjL-Matrix | Nothing was damaged in the end except my router's PSU | 19:55 |
| de-facto | so its a local problem with the power network or the transformers? | 19:55 |
| LjL-Matrix | I guess it could be a failed transformer and some backup kicked in but it caused a flicker. Then a few minutes later there was another flicker, and for now nothing else | 19:56 |
| de-facto | i only once in my life witnessed a power outage here, everything went out, even mobile network, at the end it was a blown up transformer they replaced in a few hours, since then its stable | 19:56 |
| LjL-Matrix | We had some widespread blackouts in Milan last spring when people started using A/C. It was surprising because that does happen sometimes, but usually in the middle of the summer when it's really hot and A/C is really being used | 19:57 |
| LjL-Matrix | Instead it was like... May I think? | 19:57 |
| LjL-Matrix | I think the main reason was that during COVID, normal maintenance on the city grid wasn't really done :\ | 19:57 |
| LjL-Matrix | I'll turn it back on in a few minutes if nothing else happens | 20:00 |
| de-facto | makes sense, just wait for a while, no rush, you dont want to blow up your hw there | 20:00 |
| LjL-Matrix | In the Alps we had frequent outages whenever there was a storm, but it's gotten much better since they moved the high voltage line underground (not sure if it's directly related to that, or they just improved the grid) | 20:00 |
| de-facto | maybe you should get an USV or something like that? | 20:00 |
| LjL-Matrix | Yeah but the cheap ones aren't any good, and I don't want to shell out for an expensive one :P Plus the router and the server are in two different places, I'd have two buy two to protect both (and I'd still probably lose landline internet during an outage anyway) | 20:02 |
| LjL-Matrix | (also it's a UPS in English but I assume that's what you meant) | 20:03 |

Specimens were collected at one time point from each individual, between day 1 to 23 after the initial COVID-19 diagnosis, and included self-collected saliva (S), or sublingual (SL) swab, and bilateral anterior nares (AN) swab, followed by healthcare provider collected | 21:14 |
| de-facto | nasopharyngeal (NP) swab." | 21:14 |
| de-facto | "Of the 63 specimen sets, SARS-CoV-2 was detected in 62 NP specimens, 52 AN specimens, 59 saliva specimens, and 31 SL specimens by at least one platform. Infectious SARS-CoV-2 was isolated from 21 NP, 13 AN, 12 saliva, and one SL specimen out of 50 specimen sets." | 21:15 |
| de-facto | "SARS-CoV-2 isolation was most successful up to 5 days after initial COVID-19 diagnosis using NP specimens from symptomatic patients (16 of 24 positives, 66.67%), followed by specimens from asymptomatic patients (5 of 17 positives, 29.41%), while it was not very successful with specimens from post-symptomatic patients." | 21:15 |
| LjL-Matrix | Uhm Twitter suggested this tweet to me https://twitter.com/DrJBhattacharya/status/1459884321695694857 which looks like it would be a controversial study to say the least, but this doctor looks generally anti-lockdown and anti-stuff | 21:18 |
| de-facto | with something as complex as long-COVID a single study is not nearly enough for anything, we need consensus of studies | 21:22 |
| LjL-Matrix | How do I happen to be in an obvious anti-vax room? I certainly never consciously joined it. It must have been a :matrix.org that "lost its title" (probably after the topic started saying "Do not take the vaccine"?) and got an alias on a different server instead... | 21:47 |
| LjL-Matrix | This is about myocarditis after smallpox (not COVID) vaccine. Slightly unsettling... https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4368609/ | 21:57 |
