That’s a great climate-gender event at HU! Is there anything on SARS-CoV in the discussions, as it’s not on the agenda? Feminist friends, please don’t make me say it.

Let’s start with a trivial point, you need a conference hashtag. @sandra_jasper 笑哭不得 gender.hu-berlin.de/en/events/natu…
2. I’d have attended for that keynote alone! Thank you,
3. SARS-CoV single-spike-handedly set back feminism by decades. If you don’t know how precisely, I encourage you to read up fast. - This is what I shared in parallel for example. I assume no one in the audience saw it. Does anyone even read current literature?

We’re in trouble.
4. Awkward or impossible to address in real life if people haven’t done the readings or don’t invite dialogue.

We can’t force you, feminists or not, it is only an invitation. If you think you’ll get by without addressing the single most anti-feminist force in society, good luck!
5. Using Haraway, looks cool: Tomaremos a pandemia presente de Sars-CoV-2 em articulação com a epidemia de HIV, a fim de compreender como são erguidas e sustentadas barreiras que dividem os humanos em grupos, pelas quais se decide quem pode ou não morrer. atheneadigital.net/article/view/v…
* 哭笑不得, my pre-coffee Chinese brain doesn’t work. Be well everyone, I hope invitations to integrated analysis are marginally useful,

Meanwhile @AufstandLastGen practices climate-feminism on the streets. (Symbol pic Berlin) I’m glad this is addressed in feminist conferences! Image
Great! The HU Gender climate conference hashtags are #gender_climatechange #UnfinishedBusiness. To me good hashtags are like questions, short and end with a question mark (to evoke interest)

I’d use #HUGc2023 (or anything else) if you’re an annual event, but these work well!
I’m sad to report the recent passage of the @genderoftheday, by the hands of twitter API change. R.I.P. good gender bot 🤖☺️
6. We worked (¡mostly unpaid!) to make transdisciplinary analysis on climate, SARS, syndemic and gender/inequity/[insert topic] accessible to anyone.

That’s nice and perhaps necessary but entirely unsustainable.
Think about it, it’s bizarre for society to rely on unpaid altruistic activist-scientists to communicate some of the most profound scientific challenges of our era. We need no Twitter API change to make this model impossible going forward. Life will do. 🙏 patreon.com/paulmaidowski
Not the only, but the social movement most effectively forcing people to face their own cognitive dissonance and show their colors are @AufstandLastGen for now. Respect, & good luck us all.

Opposing climate silence and inequity one private jet at a time,
@AufstandLastGen 7. To cut global GHG emissions, teach policymakers and the public how aviation sustains the SARS pandemic. The effective policy solution is and always will be quarantine. It's simple.

Freedom for billions, minor inconvenience for the few elite travellers.
8. Quality feminist content from South Korea, to distract us from the anti-feminist decision to end the COVID-19 PHEIC with no effective mitigations in place:

1. The UK Biobank study found that everyone infected has excess brain matter loss. That’s not brain damage, but it may have large implications. I worry democracies can’t“Live with Covid.”

I retweeted a questionnaire on party preference. That’s no valid link. My error & apology.
3. Exact causation of the looping feedback from flawed SARS-CoV replication process to brain and other tissue damage is scientifically unknown, as indeed for most viruses. We shared enough references to direct urgent biomed and social science research (my field).

1. Shall we collect philosophy of science papers that explain today’s scientific challenges? Reflection required for MDs, policymakers and the public if we want to learn at scale.
2. To start with the most relevant example, the clown show of 'wet market in Wuhan' discussion just keeps going, defying scientific evidence for a beginning of the pandemic outside Wuhan before September 2019.

It's the weirdest psyop I've ever witnessed. academic.oup.com/nsr/article/9/… ImageImage
3. Awkward not just for Dr. Rasmussen personally, but for all the media worldwide who've been parading her as 'authority' on the start of the pandemic, no? This is actually funny. Let's see what evidence emerges over time.

Once again: certain states wanted to end the COVID-19 PHEIC because it meant the need for international travel surveillance, cooperation and data sharing, and liabilities in the $ trillions for healthcare workers (and more) disabled or dead with SARS-CoV-2 due to inadequate PPE.
Autocorrect tells me lie-ability is a liability
Rare occasion where I can add to the linguistic wit of @RealCheckMarker. I’d venture encephalitis spells « unsafe-a-lie-t’is »

1. It’s not generally advisable to bet against SARS/MERS experts in a SARS pandemic, but let’s FAFO shall we?

Reality predictions vs. what happened in reality. No epidemiology without epidemiological data and funding epidemiological research: check ✅
2. Here the big one. Three overlapping waves à 3 months, one each month. (To spell it out, you can get reinfected every month, vs. every three months now): still open. Let’s dedicate two more years to unmitigated transmission to find out 😈
2a. Models that generate such behavior are standard examples in system dynamics, given the obvious societal relevance.

I'm just a systems scientist reading anything written by anyone for the author's awareness of the limits of their own language and mental model. As @kali0x2a here explains, if you don't show you even know what 'mental model' & 'limits' means, there's little use in reading deeper. Image
@kali0x2a I don't say "no use," because oftentimes one learns most from superficial error. Just no deep reading, apologies everyone. It's why most climate, and indeed SARS-CoV, arguments barely scratch the surface.

However interesting the natural science, it's merely a step up the ladder.
@kali0x2a Climate scholars and philosophers have been there,

Casual reminder, SARS-CoV-1 was one chronic infection in thousands of patients, not reinfections in billions.

There also was policy, a goal to end the pandemic, international cooperation and a plan how. All this is missing still.

Are we all aware and work on these deficits? ☺️
Interesting exchange with @W_Lucht. The only public health popular myth that needs correcting: unlike 2003, in 2020 the US, UK, EU never tried to stop SARS-CoV-2. They protected airline business interests over the health and lives of the world population.
Start with this thesis on how policy was delivered in 2003.
