2) The role of re-patterning in systems change is to shift the fundamental values, mindsets, behaviors, interactions within a system towards equity. It involves identifying and changing patterns of behavior, relationships, and structures that contribute to inequitable outcomes.
3) By focusing on everyday patterns, such as small shifts in behavior or interactions, it is possible to create meaningful change in people's lived experience of systems.
The article introduces seven patterns that have been identified as ways to actively re-pattern systems
4) ..for equity and power sharing. These patterns include shifting patterns of relationships, resourcing, and power within public service organizations. The goal is to move away from a focus on access and towards promoting patterns of thriving, aspiration, success, and wellbeing.
5) Recognizing and understanding these patterns is essential for systems transformation. Becoming pattern learners allows us to observe and understand the underlying values embedded in the system.
6) It also enables us to imagine, learn, test, and spread new patterns that can bring about change. The presented patterns serve as prompts for collective dialogue and learning about how to create transformed systems for wellbeing in equitable and just ways.

What Are the KEY DIFFERENCES That Make SARS-CoV-2 UNIQUE Among RESPIRATORY VIRUSES Like INFLUENZA and RHINOVIRUSES?
โถ๏ธ TRANSMISSION MECHANISM :
- **SARS-CoV-2** primarily spreads through aerosols and contact with contaminated surfaces. It has a longer viral shedding period ...
2) ...which can lead to asymptomatic spread.
- **Influenza**: Also spreads via respiratory droplets, but typically has a shorter contagious period and less asymptomatic transmission compared to SARS-CoV-2.
3) ย - **Rhinoviruses**: Mainly spread through direct contact and respiratory droplets but are often more localized to the upper respiratory tract.
โถ๏ธ INFECTIOUS DOSE:
- **SARS-CoV-2**: Can be infectious with a lower viral load, which may contribute to its rapid spread.
SPERM, STRESS, and the NEXT GENERATION:
The Long-Term Anxious Legacy of COVID-19 and potential impact on Millions of Kids
A recent study in Nature reveals that mice infected with SARS-CoV-2 exhibited changes in their sperm that led to increased anxiety levels in their offspring
2) We had already warned several times about the risks of COVID-19 on sperm.
IS SARS-CoV-2 BECOMING "INVISIBLE"? The Hidden Truth Behind the Pandemic
As the world strives to move past the COVID-19 pandemic, a troubling narrative has emerged: the perception that SARS-CoV-2 is becoming "invisible."
2) Governments and communities are eager to return to normalcy, leading to a tendency to downplay the virus's severity. Reports of new infections and long COVID cases have been totally minimized, creating a false sense of security ...
3) ...that the virus is no longer a significant threat. However, this perception is not only a matter of public sentiment. The virus itself has evolved, most notably with the emergence of the Omicron variant. Recent research reveals that Omicron exhibits a remarkable ability ...
2) This research shows that SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, stops infected cells from dying. Normally, when cells die, it helps stop viruses from spreading. By keeping these cells alive longer, SARS-CoV-2 allows itself to multiply and also helps other viruses ...
3) ... like influenza A, grow more easily.
When someone has both SARS-CoV-2 and influenza A, the two viruses can make a person much sicker. The immune system gets overwhelmed, leading to more inflammation and damage to the lungs.
ENTROPY UNLEASHED:
How Viral Protein Interactions Drive Coronavirus Adaptation in Bats and Humans
Entropy, in a general sense, refers to the level of disorder or randomness in a system. biorxiv.org/content/10.110โฆ
2) When we talk about protein interactions and viral behavior, entropy can be viewed as a measure of how complex and varied these interactions are.
In the context of the study about coronavirus interactions in bat and human cells, here's a simplified breakdown.
3) **Complex Interactions**: The study identifies how proteins from the coronavirus interact with host cells (both bats and humans). These interactions can be highly ordered (low entropy) or more chaotic (high entropy).
