BrainstormLjL, It says: Alex Meshkin, GED su Twitter: "Something really interesting is happening suddenly in our DC Metro Lab. SGTFs jumped from 5% of positives to almost 40%."21:34
LjLde-facto ↑21:34
de-factoBA.4 and BA.5 arriving in US?21:35
de-factohttps://covariants.org/per-country <-- looks like it yeah21:36
de-factoBA.5 taking over BA.2.12.1  in USA21:37
de-factolol i bet soon those that always wishfully repeat "its over, its over" will be in for a surprise21:41
de-factoso if BA.1 and BA.2 were the first immuno evasive Omicron mutants it looks like BA.4 and BA.5 now rapidly take over even in those countries that previously had high case numbers in BA.1 and BA.221:46
de-factohence the second wave of immuno evasive mutants, exactly as we expected here over a year ago21:46
de-factoand if BA.4/5 can already cause a wave in the summer, just imagine what will happen in the winter when people stay packet closely together indoors with closed windows21:47
eckssolution is for people to travel more instead of packing closely indoors, clearly21:48
de-factohaha yeah its like advising people to surf all the shady websites with exploits to import the latest viruses from the internet into their local networks21:49
de-factowithout protection from latest patches or antivirus signatures of course21:49
de-factoi wonder if people will accept mandatory measures to cut down transmission pathways in the fall and winter again, e.g. wearing masks, taking tests for participation, social distancing, no gathering, no traveling etc21:50
de-factobecause without them infection numbers will explode21:51
de-factodepending on the mutant that is imported in the fall/winter it may be less or more severe cases21:51
ecksdoubtful21:51
de-factothat pretty much is at random since infections happen before severe symptoms take carriers out of infection chains21:52
ecksmasks in certain scenarios maybe21:52
de-factoe.g. its no disadvantage for a mutant to cause more severe cases with hospitalizations or increased mortality because infection of susceptible happen way before people end up in hospital21:52
ecksif my planned august trip is impacted i will riot21:53
de-factowell stay away from people21:54
Atquede-facto: It's already winter, in South America, Australia etc. Has the variant hit those places yet?21:54
ecksif i managed a trip in august 2021, hopefully this year'll be fine as well21:55
de-factoits simply impossible to predict if the next mutant will be less or more severe, all we can safely assume is that it will have the capability to infect those with the most widespread pre-conditions such as vaccinations and infections with previous mutants21:55
de-factohence it will be extremely infectious, if it will cause more severe disease, we cant know until it arrives and circulates for a while in a population21:56
de-factoAtque, i meant the seasonal effect we already observed the last two years in e.g. Europe and other northern hemisphere countries21:56
de-factobecause it depends on population density and style of living as well as traveling habits etc21:57
ecksironically i've managed to avoid covid for over 2 years but i finally got influenza for the first time in ages21:57
Atquede-facto: Yeah, there's surprisingly little talk of pattern manufacturing for covid19 boosters hey21:58
de-factoi would not trust that vaccine manufacturers are willing to bring updated signatures on the market if they are not forced to do so by the government contracts21:59
de-factothey already said they would do that for Beta, Delta and Omicron, yet nothing arrived on the market21:59
de-factothe only sane way to avoid infection is to stay away from contamination with this nasty pathogen22:00
de-factomaybe at some bright day in the future we will see mandatory biweekly testing being introduced for every citizen22:03
de-factothat probably would help a lot with finding and isolating infection chains, its just a question of how much effort is invested into implementation and scaling of the most efficient solution22:04
