4. Once the virus stepped off the plane and into the local community, you'll need angelic reinforcement. (Paul White has your back——I hope her angels are PCR tested though)
@ChrisDYork@KyivPost 6. In 2023 it got interesting. Our warnings are working; or people are learning for themselves. I hear hierarchical, self-organized or outlaw groups are beginning to warn their members. This is Pandemic Sociology 201.
By the nature of these groups, you will only hear it from us.
7. I’m not making fun of @NateSilver538; some of his SARS beliefs are correct. Without doing the readings, he, @tomaspueyo, and everyone else on these questions will remain wrong. 🤡
1. SARS associated neurocognitive disorder (SAND) in children
I’m glad to not work in a Kita (kindergarten) even though it’s a great job: this is where the early warning signals - SAND from serially infecting all children with a highly pathogenic SARS virus - will be seen first.
2. SAND owes to @dbdugger, who applies the lessons from 40 years of HIV science to SARS-CoV, a different but comparable virus. The equivalent to SAND is HIV associated neurocognitive disorder (HAND) - same mechanism, both have no cure even after 40 years.
3. Science is a team sport, politics doubly so. I’m willing to answer questions or pilot through the thicket of @RealCheckMarker threads on real public health solutions.
IF you want to think you or your kids can ‘live with’ COVID-19, you should probably stop reading now. #twKita
Dräger x-pect 8510 here—type/model will depend on fit.
Feel free to share what works in your experience in everyday/work settings. We need to generate such knowledge ourselves as long as ppl are in "Don't stick out and live with Covid" mode.
Fun question, and I see @_david_ho_ & climate scientists mean well. You can have perfect understanding of physics, yet be clueless about how to change society. (Climate isn’t a physics problem.)
Most relevant is learning to think, i.e. the humanities.
Why is this relevant? We’ve been trying to get climate scientists - key messengers - to speak meaningfully about integrated systems problems for many years, mostly the unphysical (=sadly wrong) models of climate economics.
Political scientist here. Share this thread with scientists. Apply the lessons from 40 years of HIV medicine to SARS-CoV, a virus that establishes persistence (until apoptosis occurs) and knows no cellular-level sterilizing immunity. Elimination, effective policy, is the way out.
Why scientists? - The basics are still not widely understood. As politics remains dysfunctional, you need to organize and learn fast. Use system dynamics / systems analysis. SARS is not the shape of a policy problem that your conventional thinking can solve.
Why do you need political scientists on your teams? Look at the current mess after $ billions for biomed & 100,000s of papers*. We have no political goal or work programme to end the pandemic, in year Four!
2. "Unlike other RNA viruses, CoVs encode a 3′-5′ exonuclease that has *proofreading activities* [...]. CoVs are also capable of *genetic recombination* if two viruses infect the same cell at the same time.
That's what drives the pandemic yet you'll only hear it on twitter. lmao
3. "All CoVs develop exclusively in the cytoplasm of infected cells." SARS does NOT behave like influenza, which takes over the cell, and replicates until it explodes like a balloon. (SARS even EXTENDS its lifecycle.) Western intellectual laziness and hubris cost them the future.
