ER pediatrician/epidemiologist to me, when I asked about long-term effects on children of catching #Covid19 & if they were seeing anything in the ER: "So far what we are seeing is the occasional case of Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MISC)... cont'd
..Pediatric ER doc: "What I suspect is that in 40 years, we will see that hearts are wearing out earlier than expected and all those kids with what was believed to be mild or asymptomatic Covid actually suffered heart damage...." cc #COVID19BC
.."There is some evidence of this from MRI studies of athletes post COVID. I don’t think Covid is an illness anyone should take lightly at any age." jamanetwork.com/journals/jamac…
.."First studies suggested myocarditis as high as 15%, the last study was 3%. That could be too low but even 3% isn’t good, and that is just one issue of so many.." Given this, any herd immunity strategy in children is indefensible (whole thread)

Amy Tan: in BC we should be keeping an eye on the variants, actually doing the genome sequencing, not just assuming (as we are) that everyone has a variant. Which variant, what's the severity, does it lead to death, what's the attack rate in households. To be precautionary..
Dr. Tan: But also, as we reopen, we need to ensure that we are still taking care of the people who've continually been disproportionately affected, and protect their workplaces, we are going to keep exposing people and the virus will keep spreading like wildfire..
Dr. Tan: I treated recent immigrants, recent refugees, & they all had to work in the first wave and were frightened. They did not feel protected by their employers or by society. We must not lose sight of this. We're not safe until we're all safe, that's what #Covid19 teaches us

I'm going to live-tweet tonight's panel, "Charting the Strategic Path Out of COVID-19: A Public Panel Discussion," sponsored by @SFU_Science & moderated by @a_longhurst. It seems to be sold out but I believe the video will be available later. #covid19BC eventbrite.ca/e/charting-the…
The hashtags for tonight's panel will be
#COVID19BC
#CovidZeroBC
and #COVIDisAirborne, #bcpoli and #cdnpoli where applicable.
"Charting the Strategic Path Out of COVID-19: A Public Panel Discussion"
eventbrite.ca/e/charting-the…
One of the topics tonight will be an "elimination" strategy to #Covid19 which is aggressive suppression of transmission (#CovidZero) like NZ. This isn't eradication but strong policy. Vs the mitigation approach we see in BC/Canada. #COVID19BC
#CovidZeroBC

Remember I mentioned this doc after his bizarre performance in the aerosols debate? "Top Canadian WHO adviser under fire after downplaying airborne threat of #COVID19: Dr. Conly says N95 masks cause 'harms,' focus should be on physical distancing" cbc.ca/news/health/ca… #cdnpoli
..Well, there is an interesting exclusive out today that also mentions Dr. Conly, links him to the Great Barrington Declaration (a herd immunity strategy), and describes WHO cronyism & anti-lockdown funding bylinetimes.com/2021/04/21/sci… #abpoli #covid19bc
I like the criticism of Conly and his ilk for their 'narrow medical approach,' since the pandemic has exposed that certain elements of the medical profession do not have a grasp of aerosol physics

Yes it's a weekend, but I still find it very odd that mainstream media has not covered the catastrophic flood in Westbank's Vancouver House luxury tower. Just this Daily Hive post. Big story given Ian Gillespie's hold on City Hall, no? #vanpoli #vanre dailyhive.com/vancouver/vanc…
..Silence, & it's been 2 days. A Niagara of water pouring from the 29th floor down stairwells, into condos, thru elevators. 9 floors flooded, water flowing all the way down into the carpark... This is the developer who stands to be involved in the city's biggest upcoming redevts.
Media outlets afraid of Gillespie's notorious litigiousness can't get their lawyers on the phone on the weekend?

For #Covid19 nerds: This is the paper that virologist @c_drosten was talking about in his recent podcast. "Development of potency, breadth and resilience to viral escape mutations in SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibodies" biorxiv.org/content/10.110… #covid19bc
Summary/conclusion from friend who works in health: "some new studies that suggest there are only a few easy escapes for the virus and after this round it will be harder. That’s because after 6 months the antibody response is broader and more varied and adapted..." cont'd
..." - except in a few key places where antibody response seems to set early and these appear to be highly salient epitopes for the immune system. So they are the obvious places for viral adaptation which is why we are seeing convergent evolution (in variants)..."
