🇦🇹 Representative genomic surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 in Austria week 11, 2023 across most regions. Current analysis includes samples until March 9th allowing faithful nowcasting. A collaboration of #AGES @agesnews and @IMBA_Vienna/@oeaw.
1/6
With 2688 successfully sequenced samples this week Austria still has a remarkably good overview over the pandemic and become an international role model in surveillance.
2/6
Austria is past the XBB.1.5 peak and also EG.1 (a.k.a. XBB.1.9.2.1) will not mount another peak here. But we detected another two cases of XBB.1.16, which deserves close monitoring as only the latter, but not XBB.1.5, appears to result in growing incidences in India.

Based on reported case numbers at least, XBB.1.5 appears to have passed it’s peak. This trend is less obvious but also seen in wastewater, see page 10 in the link below:

Extrapolated absolute case numbers also illustrate the reduced growth. Truly a good sign if the trend holds! Other countries are presumably a bit behind with XBB.1.5, so important to see the trend changing. In Austria relative share of XBB.1.5 is at ~69% currently.

🇦🇹 Representative genomic surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 in Austria week 8, 2023 across all regions. Current analysis includes samples until February 15th allowing faithful nowcasting. A collaboration of #AGES @agesnews and @IMBA_Vienna/@oeaw.

XBB.1.5 continues to grow and makes up ~60% of cases now in nowcasting. Shown here are the relative fractions within the total reported (!) cases.

In quantitative sewage monitoring the situation looks very different. The level of detected SARS-CoV-2 appears to be near the values of last year at this time. Infection risk is thus very high currently and hospitalizations are also increasing.

🇦🇹 Representative genomic surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 in Austria week 7, 2023 across all regions. Current analysis includes samples until February 8th allowing faithful nowcasting, sample numbers dropping though. A collaboration of #AGES @agesnews and @IMBA_Vienna/@oeaw.
1/6
Current significant growth in incidence is almost exclusively due to XBB.1.5, that reached >50% of cases now.
2/6
Only very few other lineages continue to show growth in absolute numbers as visualized when extrapolating shares of lineages to absolute reported numbers.

🇦🇹 Representative genomic surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 in Austria week 2, 2023 across all regions. Current analysis includes samples until January 5th allowing faithful nowcasting. A collaboration of #AGES @agesnews and @IMBA_Vienna/@oeaw.

The variant situation for Austria changed dramatically between the years. While we had a swarm of lineages growing in numbers until Christmas, it is now just one lineage showing growth: XBB.1.5.
2/5
XBB.1.5 is a descendent of the strongly immune evasive recombinant XBB that now acquired a mutation improving binding to the ACE2 receptor on human cells and thereby infectivity. It is observed across Austria now. Nowcasting predicts it to be currently at ~8%.

🇦🇹 Representative genomic surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 in Austria. This is our analysis run number 100, so I would like to start by thanking the entire SARSeq team. One hundred successful analysis rounds straight is an amazing achievement, congratulations to everyone!

With @LCochella and @yelagandula_ram we initiated the task of nationwide surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 in an academic setting in response to the Alpha variant. A great collaboration between #AGES @agesnews, @IMPvienna and @IMBA_Vienna/@oeaw. And a big responsibility!
2/ Image
This collaboration of health authorities and academia showcases the innovative power and value of academic institutions that stepped in in response to the pandemic. Globally such solutions were rather the rule than the exception, so big shoutout to all my colleagues worldwide!

🇦🇹 Representative genomic surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 in Austria in week 42 across all regions. Nowcasting in dashed box shows the current situation. A collaboration of #AGES @agesnews and @IMBA_Vienna/@oeaw.

BA.5 with R346T has reached ~25% now. New variants such as BQ.1(.1) and XBB show clear growth. BQ.1(.1) currently at ~8%, XBB<1%.
2/6 Image
Due to the good weather (see journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol/a…) and declining case counts of BA.5 we currently observe a strong reduction in absolute numbers.

Wie man in Österreich mit #Corona umgeht:

2.) #Panik, was machen wir nur: #CoronaAmpel, #AGES Propaganda mit Vorgaben, welche #Custer es geben darf: Folge #PseudoCluster Haushalt, weil ...

... per Dekret sind Ansteckungen in gewissen Bereichen ja nicht möglich. Die Schaffunbg eines #PseudoCluster stoppt erfolgreich das weitere #Tracing zur tatsächlichen Infektionsquelle (Einschleppung in den Haushalt)

2/5
3.) Die #Wirtschaft muss unterstützt werden, #Notfall-Dienste, #Lehrer, sonstige #Essentielle Dienstleiter sind da nicht so wichtig, kann man verheizen.

4.) Nach dem die seit der #ErstenWelle zu erwartende #ZweiteWelle, welche in #Orwell‘scher Manier lange nicht ...

Und während der #Cluster „Freizeit“ noch eine gewisse Berechtigung haben könnte, dient die Schaffung eines #PseudoCluster-s „Haushalt“ bestenfalls als Beweis 💯%iger Unwissenschaftlichkeit bei der @agesnews. Das hat nur wert als #Propaganda.

1/5
Warum:
Die zur tatsächlichen Verlangsamung der #COVID19at Ausbreitung notwendige Information ist nicht die 🤷🏻 extra #triviale Erkenntnis, dass - sobald eingeschleppt - Infektionen innerhalb desselben Haushaltes nahezu unvermeidbar sind.

2/5
Sondern, WO erfolgte die ursprüngliche Infektion, also aus Sicht des Haushaltes, wo hatte sich der #PatientZero das Virus geholt.

Dort wäre der Ansatzpunkt, weitere #COVID19 Ereignisse zu verhindern, nicht der „Haushalt“.

THE TRUE ORIGIN OF RESTAURANTS
Thread

Centuries ago, like now, there were hostels, posadas or taverns where food was served in exchange for money, as in a thermopolium in Rome (snack-bar) where we, readers of @LRB @TwitterBooks @nytimes @NewYorker @washingtonpost, would often go
After the #fall of the #Roman #Empire in these businesses food was served in shared tables and consisted of a fixed menu, according to what was already prepared. Even the nobility, like celebrities today, would frequent when traveling.
But, when did the concept and business of restaurants truly begin?
It began with Paracelsus (1493-1541), a brilliant Swiss physician who modernized medicine with rational clinical judgment and changed the way we eat in the #Western #world.
