Coronavirus is one mutation away from infecting millions

[Th'Pusher]

You always said a lot of contradictory .

Are you just now coming to this realization?

[hater]

"contradictory"

I always called for us to close down like China/Australia last year

Of course that only works at the beginning.but no US and Fauci did temp checks and paper masks at airports

Of course that was just useless propaganda

Now we have a covid inferno here in the US thanks to that inep ude.

I also always said best mask is n95 and cdc is finally admitting

[hater]

the dont wear masks BS is done by governments to prevent shortage of masks for their police/medical force

of course you are better off wearing a mask especially the N95

I have only a handful of those and will wear it if infection reaches Seattle levels in my area

spot on

I even called Faucis early lie of masks are bad.

[hater]

I had time to prepare got a good supply of N95 maks, foods and necessities. I been ready for 2 months

I will also volunteer to deliver stuff to old ppl if need be and help out

I been ready for this for 2 months.

spot on as well

I did use a few of n95s early on but I replaced them with more comfy, almost as good KN95

Kingfa is my kn95 brand and CDC did a test and it has like 99% filtration

Its a beast

Good TWiV episode in regards to variants and immune escape. Interesting that these variants have been around since early 2019. They talk about how these variants may not necessarily be more transmissible rather we are selecting for them with high infection rates since they have some degree of antibody resistance. Also immune escape is will likely occur faster because of infection rates.

Give yourself a good pat on the back.
You don’t know what the you’re talking about.
99%filtration of what? *emoji of utter confusion*

At one point in time we thought it was impossible to have RNA viruses.
We were wrong, science sucks for hater.

I don’t know if they mention this because it’s a pretty long discussion but variants occur all the time. Some variants catch hold and multiply, it doesn’t even have to be because of a natural selection advantage, it might just be good luck and that the variant(s) encountered ideal spreading conditions. The variants we should be worried about are the ones that have mutations in the e protein in very specific domains of attachment.

I will listen to this later, I hope they have some information on the other proteins and how possible mutations in those could cause problems, or why they might not be a worry at all.

Vincent has talked about this since the "more transmissible" scary headlines from the UK. He referred to it as Founder Effect.

You just posted how full of I thought Fauci and US response was from very beginning

All my posts are spot on too

Thanks niga

called it

Masks work, masks don't work, you only have a handful, you have a good supply... it was the best of times, it was the worst of times.

R u an idiot?

I always said paper or cloth masks are a joke for protecting yourself. N95 is the way to go. Kn95 almost as good.

Lol nancy

You wearing goggles, too?

Not a Fauci fan but I'm glad to see him push back against the likes of Osterholm who want to copy the UK and delay the 2nd dose.

Osterholm was good when the pandemic started but he's become such an emotional wreck I can hardly listen to his updates anymore.

no

I did wear sunglasses everywhere in March. April 2020

I might do that again this year it looks like

It must be everyone else who thinks you hedge all bets, since you're obviously not doing that.

Point out the "inconsitency" then brah

All u have done is quote my 100% spot on posts from last year.

And whatever you bolded and underlined is also 100% correct

Btw, the guest virologist on this episode is the "anonymous" guy that posted what he would do to try and create a vaccine resistant strain which just happens to be everything we are doing lol

Should be highlighted, though, he wrote that in January of this year....

I agree that 2nd dose should not be delayed or canceled. But interested on osterholms reasoning. Maybe it has to do with variants wave incoming? I have to take a look.....

I domt think hes the only one

I read at least half dozen science articles that say d same thing

Damn so I was right

Im good

Obviously this is a very hard thing to decide. But I think I agree w Osterholm. We should be scared of Covid but we should be terrified of the variants.

Osterholm is right

What the New COVID-19 Strains Mean for Herd Immunity, Vaccine Efficacy

Disease specialists studying new SARS-CoV-2 variants discuss whether virus mutations could upend herd immunity timelines and thwart vaccine progress.

it appears that modified e proteins in these viruses bind more tightly to the ACE-2 receptor on human cells, leading to infection in the body.

The bad news, however, is that the new strains have a 50–70 percent higher infection rate, which means that the world could see an explosion of COVID-19 cases.

That would lead to more deaths, simply by the sheer fact that such a large pool of people would contract the virus,

Hopefully the Putin vaccine will save d day tbqh

Otherwise I hope Cuban vaccine will take care of us. Im really losing confidence on western vaccines

You never had any to begin with.
Bottom line is you are as nutty as derp.

If you think Russia is going to lead the world in Biological solutions... You need to go live there.
And You will die there. You would not last a second if you are the same person as your are on this board.
