  • World Health Organization investigators looking for clues into the origin of the coronavirus in the central Chinese city of Wuhan said that the Chinese side has provided a high level of cooperation,

    “I keep saying that we need to be realistic, a short mission like this one will not have all the answers but it helps advance the understanding of the #virusorigin #wuhan,” Hung Nguyen-Viet, co-leader of the Animal and Human Health Program of the International Livestock Research Institute in Nairobi, Kenya, said in a tweet Thursday.

    You might suspect that the people saying these things are kissing up to the Chinese authorities. You will have that impression if all you have read about is the reaction of the Chinese government to COVID-19, and the way it covered up and lied about the epidemic at first. However, I have the impression that the doctors and public health officials in China have been more honest than the government. They are more open. That is what Alward said on Feb. 25, 2020, describing the first WHO joint mission to China. He seems like an honest person. Honest or not, what he said, and what he quoted from Chinese public health officials, turned out to be completely correct. That became clear in the months that followed.


    As I have said before, there seems to be a large difference between the political leaders in China and the public health establishment. China is a dictatorship, but the government does not have the kind of absolute power it had under Mao. It cannot fully hide the truth, or force doctors and public health officials to lie to the public and to the WHO. The doctors have a share of political power, and they can defy the government to some extent.


    It is a mistake to think that totalitarian governments are all alike, and they have absolute power over every person and institution. They vary, just as democratic governments do. Some have more power, some have less, and over time they change. The Soviet Russian government was very different at different eras in its history, under Lenin, Stalin, Khrushchev and Gorbachev. Stalin had by far the most power, and he was the most ruthless.

  • If control measures are stopping flu in its tracks, why aren't they stopping coronavirus?


    https://news.google.com/articl…=en-US&gl=US&ceid=US%3Aen


    As the COVID-19 pandemic rages, other respiratory illnesses have been unusually quiet this year. Fears of a dangerous influenza and COVID-19 “syndemic” have not come to pass as influenza cases reached some of the lowest rates ever observed.


    The near absence of the flu might reflect increased rates of vaccination, as seen in the US, but distancing, hand washing and masking have probably played an even bigger role. If these measures are so effective against the flu, though, why is SARS-CoV-2 still spreading?


    Reproduction numbers

    Reproduction or “R” numbers measure how well a disease spreads and, therefore, how difficult it is to control. The number tells us how many people a single infected person will probably infect. The reproduction number for seasonal influenza usually hovers between 1.2 to 1.5, whereas early estimates for SARS-CoV-2 ranged from 2 to 4. This means that under “normal” circumstances – in the absence of masking, distancing, frequent hand-washing – SARS-CoV-2 is about twice as infectious as the flu.


    To stop an epidemic from spreading, we need to reduce R below 1. That’s a lot easier for seasonal influenza than for SARS-CoV-2. If distancing and masking halved the reproduction number for both illnesses, SARS-CoV-2 would continue to spread while influenza would stop dead in its tracks.


    But this isn’t really satisfying. We’ve basically just said that SARS-CoV-2 spreads better because it infects more people. Just what makes SARS-CoV-2 harder to control?

  • How SARS-CoV-2 Evades Immune Responses


    https://www.contagionlive.com/…2-evades-immune-responses


    In a recent study published in the journal Science, investigators from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine demonstrate how the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) eludes responses initiated by the immune system by selectively deleting tiny portions of its genetic sequence.


    The deletions of code take place in a part of the sequence that encodes for how the spike protein is shaped. Due to this, the neutralizing antibody is not able to grab onto the virus. Additionally, because the mechanisms which usually catche these types of errors is blind to the sequence that is gone, it becomes cemented in the strain’s genetic material.


    "You can't fix what's not there," Paul Duprex, director of the Center for Vaccine Research at the University of Pittsburgh and senior author on the study said. "Once it's gone, it's gone, and if it's gone in an important part of the virus that the antibody 'sees,' then it's gone for good."


    The neutralization-resistant deletions were first discovered in an immunocompromised patient who ultimately died from the virus, but was infected for 74 days before hand. This is a long time to have the infection, which provided plenty of time for the virus to mutate. Investigators than moved to see if the deletions in the viral genome were occurring elsewhere throughout the world.


    After looking over a database of SARS-CoV-2 sequences that was collected from sources all over the globe, the team noticed that deletions were following a pattern and were appearing in the same spot in the genetic sequence. The area where they were occurring was allowing the virus to change its shape without losing the ability to invade cells and replicate.

    Vaccines Could Blunt U.K. Epidemic in Weeks

    Britain is on track to deliver a first dose to everyone by the end of June. But vulnerable groups accounting for the vast majority of deaths could be vaccinated much sooner.



    UK data shows a large decrease in infections, from the Jan. 9 peak of ~60,000 down to 22,000:

    Nevertheless here the pharma mafia heavily paid advertising to force people into a (Completely needless) flu vaccination. (albeit they did know ahead that the flu will not come this year...)

    Needless to say that the RNA vaccines have no been tested among flu vaccinated people. Most vaccinate were underdogs of south America...

    Almost all European countries have now surpassed Sweden or will do it within some weeks. The 7 days death rate in Sweden is now below 20 at 13.


    And this all happens without vaccination most likely the fast & easy victims are all dead.

    Q: In what ways is the country moving toward disaster?

    Because people cannot speak the truth, Wuhan’s epidemic spread across the country and the whole world and everyone has been harmed. Chinese citizens have borne the brunt and among Chinese people, people in Wuhan suffered the most.

    We have so many people dead, including people like Li Wenliang who should not have died. About the number of deaths, up to now China has not even said a real death number. Actually, the disaster for Chinese people has already begun. There is large-scale unemployment, soaring commodity prices, and the people at the bottom cannot survive.

    Q: So you think the epidemic started because Xi did not receive the real information?

    At the beginning he did not get the real news, but he said in a meeting on 7 January that the situation was under his personal command. If he knew on 7 January, why did it take until 20 January to announce the outbreak? Officials at all levels hide the truth and report only when they cannot cover up any more. But when he knew the situation on 7 January, he did not make it public or mobilise resources. So shouldn’t he bear responsibility?


    Q: Why do you think the party has no power to stop Xi?

    When Will Life Return to Normal? In 7.4 Years at Today's Vaccine Rates

    Our new calculator shows how long it will take states and countries to vaccinate 75% of their populations


    https://www.bloomberg.com/news…e-calculator?srnd=premium


    When will the pandemic end? It’s the question hanging over just about everything since Covid-19 took over the world last year. The answer can be measured in vaccinations.


    Bloomberg has built the biggest database of Covid-19 shots given around the world, with more than 108 million doses administered worldwide. U.S. science officials such as Anthony Fauci have suggested it will take 70% to 85% coverage of the population for things to return to normal. Bloomberg’s Vaccine Tracker shows that some countries are making far more rapid progress than others, using 75% coverage with a two-dose vaccine as a target.


    Israel, the country with the highest vaccination rate in the world, is headed for 75% coverage in just 2 months. The U.S. will get there just in time to ring in the 2022 New Year (though North Dakota could get there six months sooner than Texas). With vaccinations happening more rapidly in richer Western countries than the rest of the globe, it will take the world as a whole 7.4 years at the current pace.


    relates to When Will Life Return to Normal? In 7.4 Years at Today's Vaccine Rates

    Bloomberg’s calculator provides a snapshot in time, designed to put today’s vaccination rates into perspective. It uses the most recent rolling average of vaccinations, which means that as vaccination numbers pick up, the time needed to hit the 75% threshold will fall.



    The calculations will be volatile, especially in the early days of the rollout, and the numbers can be distorted by temporary disruptions.



    For example, New York’s target date was pushed out to 17 months this week after a winter blizzard prevented some from getting vaccinated. Likewise, Canada’s vaccination rate dropped by half in recent weeks following reports of delayed vaccine shipments. Based on Canada’s latest rate of inoculations it would take a 9.7 years to reach 75% coverage. That might serve as a wake-up call to Canadian politicians and health officials, but it doesn’t mean they’re doomed to a decade of social distancing. Canada has contracts to buy more vaccine doses per person than any other country, and its vaccination rates are expected to climb.


    The pace is likely to accelerate further as more vaccines become available. Some of the world’s biggest vaccine-manufacturing hubs in India and Mexico are only just getting started. More than 8.5 billion doses of vaccine have been contracted by countries through more than 100 agreements tracked by Bloomberg. Only a third of countries have even begun their vaccination campaigns.


    Path to Immunity

    Vaccinations protect against Covid-19 within a few weeks of getting the shots. But if just a few people in a community get vaccinated, the virus can continue to spread unchecked. As more people get the vaccine, groups of people start to build a collective defense against the virus so that isolated sparks of infection burn out instead of spreading into an outbreak. The concept is known as herd immunity.


    In the scientific community, there are conflicting definitions for when herd immunity is achieved. Is it when enough people are protected that it begins to have a measurable effect on the speed of transmission? That could begin well before 75% of people are fully vaccinated. Others define it as the point when outbreaks can no longer be sustained. For example, even if there’s a cluster of measles cases in an unvaccinated community, herd immunity prevents it from rippling across a country.


    How We Run the Numbers

    The vaccines available today require two doses for full vaccination. Our calculations for coverage are based on two doses per person in the population but don't distinguish between first doses or second doses administered. Those breakdowns can distort daily vaccination rates and aren’t available in more than 20% of the countries we’re tracking.


    A new vaccine by Johnson & Johnson recently showed positive results using a single dose in a large clinical trial. If approved, we’ll adjust the number of doses required proportionate to its market share in each country.


    The vaccines haven’t been authorized for use in children — those studies are currently underway. Our calculator, like the virus, includes children in the population needed to be protected.


    One metric Bloomberg’s calculator doesn’t account for is any level of natural immunity that might result from recovering from Covid-19. It’s possible that hard-hit places might require a lower level of vaccination to prevent widespread transmission. While there’s evidence that people who recover from illness do retain some level of natural defenses, it’s unclear how much protection is offered or how long it might last. The vaccine is still recommended for people who have recovered from illness.


    The calculator is the latest feature from Bloomberg’s Covid-19 Tracker. The projections are updated daily and are based on the average daily vaccinations in data gathered from 67 countries and the U.S. states and territories. Countries may be excluded when they are in the earliest stages of vaccinations or if they provide infrequent updates on their vaccination numbers.

  • What’s the risk of dying from a fast-spreading COVID-19 variant?


    https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-00299-2


    The news is sobering, but complicated. Scientists have released the data behind a British government warning last week that the fast-spreading SARS-CoV-2 variant B.1.1.7 increases the risk of dying from COVID-19 compared with previous variants. But some scientists caution that the latest study — like the government warning — is preliminary and still does not indicate whether the variant is more deadly or is just spreading faster and so reaching greater numbers of vulnerable people.


    The latest findings are concerning, but to draw conclusions “more work needs to be done,” says Muge Cevik, a public-health researcher at the University of St Andrews, who is based in Edinburgh, UK.


    Last week, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said preliminary data from several research groups suggested that B.1.1.7, which was first identified in the United Kingdom, was spreading more quickly than previous variants and was also associated with a higher risk of death. On 3 February, researchers from the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) released an analysis1 of some of those data, which suggests that the risk of dying is around 35% higher for people who are confirmed to be infected with the new variant.


    In real terms, that means that for men aged 70–84, the number who are likely to die from COVID-19 increases from roughly 5% for those who test positive to the older variant, to more than 6% for those confirmed infected with B.1.1.7, according to the analysis. For men aged 85 or over, the risk of dying increases from about 17% to nearly 22% for those confirmed infected with the new variant. The analysis has not been peer reviewed.


    Other groups are also studying whether B.1.1.7 and other new SARS-CoV-2 variants are more deadly than earlier versions of the virus.
