| LjL | de-facto, just a media article but some citations on the R values of various variants https://finance.yahoo.com/news/move-over-measles-dominant-omicron-203027510.html | 00:05 |
| de-facto | %title https://fortune.com/2022/07/09/is-covid-omicron-more-transmissible-infectious-than-measles-ba4-ba5/ | 00:07 |
| Brainstorm | de-facto: From fortune.com: Move over, measles: Dominant Omicron subvariants BA.4 and BA.5 could be the most infectious viruses known to man | Fortune | 00:07 |
| de-facto | seems the global efforts invested into breeding slowly but steadily is rewarded with success in its achievements of creating the most immune evasive and infectious virus we have seen so far | 00:11 |
| de-facto | though to be fair R0 is hard to predict in a population with heterogeneous (waning) immunity from vaccination and recovery that is aware of the outbreak and (partly) takes care in preventing transmission | 00:12 |
| de-facto | but of course if over 2 years are invested into optimizing the pathogen fitness it is to be expected that at some point these expected results begin to manifest themselves | 00:13 |
| xx | yeah sadly humans breed slowly but steadily | 00:13 |
| de-facto | even harder to predict is how much *potential* room still is left for the pathogen to optimize its fitness even further, but i guess we are not at the end of it at all | 00:13 |
| xx | it can always evolve to produce more viral particles of itself | 00:14 |
| Brainstorm | New from ##covid-19 Zotero group: Move over, measles: Dominant Omicron subvariants BA.4 and BA.5 could be the most infectious viruses known to man: Type Web Page URL https://fortune.com/2022/07/09/is-covid-omicron-more-transmissible-infectious-than-measles-ba4-ba5/ Accessed 2022-07-17 22:11:20 Language en Abstract [... want %more?] → https://www.zotero.org/groups/covid_links/items/5T9UZ5WM | 00:14 |
| de-facto | e.g. many advantageous mutations from previous mutants are not (yet?) employed in the current most infectious variants, maybe parly due to functional incompatibility, maybe partly because it just did not happen yet | 00:14 |
| de-facto | example: BA.1/2 uses some of the mutations of the previous Delta variant to create BA.4/5 that now becomes able again to use TMPRSS2 cell entry mechanism in addition to those that BA.2 uses, hence became more fit and infectious | 00:16 |
| de-facto | we are essentially creating the most infectious virus ever right now with those global breeding efforts on SARS-CoV-2 | 00:17 |
| xx | and yet even a simple mask and soap still stop it | 00:19 |
| xx | if only people would wear it and know about hygiene | 00:19 |
| de-facto | i guess people do know about hygiene and the transmission pathways, yet unfortunately too many simply dont care | 00:19 |
| xx | I'm convinced that if covid was more lethal it would kill less people because they'd actually care about protecting themselves | 00:19 |
| de-facto | maybe we will see your theory to be put at test on reality xx | 00:20 |
| xx | don't know. It's probably gonna become even more infectious with time, but more lethal? | 00:21 |
| de-facto | hopefully such a mutant will not emerge though | 00:21 |
| de-facto | it certainly will become more infectious (as that is the primary selection process) but lethality is not an advantage for spread, so that is more at random, maybe next mutants will be more lethal, maybe not | 00:22 |
| xx | increased lethality will probably only emerge as a result of some random mutation not really related to increased infectivity. Just a random chance. | 00:22 |
| de-facto | yeah | 00:22 |
| xx | my bet would be on something that makes the immune system go completely crazy | 00:22 |
| xx | and cause 43°C fever not responding to antipyretics | 00:22 |
| xx | or 44°C for good measure | 00:23 |
| de-facto | that already is the primary problem with COVID, the resulting immune reaction, possibly partly to antigenic mimicry of the pathogen | 00:23 |
| xx | yeah but I'd be betting on a new kind of overreaction by the immune system than the cytokine storm | 00:23 |
| xx | that's old stuff | 00:23 |
| de-facto | but on the other side: the immune system of the majority of humans will also become more competent in dealing with (the multitude) of variants of SARS-CoV-2 | 00:24 |
| xx | will it? Or will immunity fade after a couple months like before. | 00:24 |
| xx | I'd guess most people who got the wuhan version 2.5 years ago have no immunity against it by now | 00:25 |
| de-facto | so its a highly dynamic race condition between (selection pressure driven) antigenic drift and the evolution of the immune system competence of majorities | 00:26 |
| de-facto | hence multivalent vaccines would be quite helpful as they update the immune system competence of majorities without giving the pathogen the "bruteforce power" of breeding on the next fitness increase | 00:28 |
| de-facto | each infection (with associated mutations) is another "trial and error" case of creating the next even more fit mutant of the pathogen | 00:29 |
| xx | it's a pity we never find the actual patient 0 | 00:30 |
| de-facto | but it seems most governments decided that such breeding tolerable, hence also must have anticipated the associated results in creating a sequence of mutants with ever increasing infectivity, e.g. R0(t) is strictly monotonic | 00:30 |
| de-facto | xx why do you want to find patient 0 ? | 00:33 |
| de-facto | all the early sequences are very similar (no or very few mutations) to Wuhan-Hu-1 sequence of SARS-CoV-2 | 00:34 |
| de-facto | hence with the vaccinations we basically are all patient 0 (in terms of immuno-competence against the S-protein) | 00:34 |
| xx | de-facto: to slap them | 00:35 |
| xx | for every new variant | 00:35 |
| de-facto | lol if only that would help | 00:35 |
| xx | ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ | 00:35 |
| xx | would make me feel better | 00:35 |
| xx | like, how would you feel if you were the source of a new variant that kills thousands? All because you didn't want to wear a mask while shopping. | 00:36 |
| de-facto | words could not describe | 00:36 |
| xx | I'd use that patient 0 in commercials | 00:38 |
| xx | "Look at this idiot, you wouldn't want to be like them, wear the mask" | 00:38 |
| de-facto | if only humans were not able to ignore (inconvenient) truths | 00:39 |
| xx | would be cool if viral particles carried recognizable signature of which human body produced them | 00:40 |
| de-facto | you mean like mutations? | 00:40 |
| de-facto | if you did a full sequence of all samples you most likely could trace infection chains exactly (if including the whole viral genome, not only key mutations on the s-protein) | 00:41 |
| xx | no I mean like a hash of the DNA of the person from which the viral particle came from | 00:41 |
| xx | so that we could trace the viral particles somehow to a person | 00:41 |
| de-facto | sure you could assign SHA256 on sequences :D | 00:41 |
| xx | would be cool if viruses did that on their own | 00:42 |
| xx | even better if they'd always append a signature of the latest host, thus we could read the whole chain | 00:43 |
| de-facto | its "expensive" for a virus to carry information in its genome (especially if depending on that info to not get corrupted), and SARS-CoV-2 only can afford 30kb genome length because of its proofreading proteins (basically error correction) | 00:44 |
| de-facto | so it already is "on the edge" of maximum genome length for an RNA virus i guess | 00:45 |
| xx | have some envelope around the virus carry this signature | 00:46 |
| xx | a detached signature | 00:46 |
| de-facto | what advantage would come from such an approach? | 00:47 |
| xx | nothing, I'm just saying it would be cool | 00:47 |
| xx | to live in a world where viruses somehow evolved to have that feature | 00:47 |
| xx | there's 7B people, it takes 33bytes to uniquely identify everyone | 00:49 |
| de-facto | integrity is always a challenge for any information that is to be replicated, hence it does not really matter where it is stored but how much of it needs to stay (relatively) corruption free and what methods are employed for ensuring that (e.g. stability of DNA is much increased over RNA and also proofreading proteins are a significant advantage of CoVs) | 00:49 |
| de-facto | btw for a virion it makes most sense to store its RNA in the center, wrapped around the nucleocapsid molecule, because there it is protected the most against corruption by harsh environment conditions, i assume this is a significant selection factor in transmission | 00:52 |
| LjL | xx, you mean bits | 00:52 |
| xx | right | 00:53 |
| xx | guess I was hungry :) | 00:54 |
| de-facto | e.g. a mutant that introduces a new storage mechanism would have to compete against genomic integrity of all its predecessors and as long as most mutations result in less fit (or even replication incompetent) virions increased antigenic drift from such introduction of new storage approaches most likely is a selection disadvantage | 00:54 |
| xx | yeah I know it's not a realistic wish | 00:55 |
| de-facto | hence i guess its save to assume that the current storage mechanism of the SARS-CoV-2 genome already is heavily optimized in terms of preventing corruption by the most common environmental damage mechanisms present in the majority of its transmission pathways | 00:56 |
