Ferrets were exposed to droplets containing infectious SARS-CoV-2, ranging between 4 & 106 µm in diameter

simulating larger droplets produced by a cough from an infected person
viral RNA was detected on the fur of ferrets, and was deposited onto environmental surfaces
as the fur of ferrets placed in direct contact

-CoV-2 remained infectious on the fur for at least 48 h

droplets & surfaces arent the main transmission mode
think about
airborne crosscontaminations

und in NRW wird in Köln und Düsseldorf das bzgl. Viruslast -Cov-2 seit Ferienende(!) einfach gar nicht mehr durchgeführt.

A Tale of Two Viruses: strains variola major & minor share 98% genetics but differ vastly in IFR (1% vs 30%). Now, variants like BA.2.86 are ~99.6% similar to the original. In <10yrs, we could reach Smallpox-level diversity. Small changes, BIG risks—deadly variants with IFRs like or could emerge.

“Our research shows that treatment can target the in key regions that do not change as the virus evolves, which means it works across all current of concern. Most importantly, we envisage that it will also work for existing and future that emerge,”

“siRNA can stop replication by directly targeting the virus itself, which means there is no immune system involvement,” med-mastodon.com/@LordsofHardw

: "Individuals’ control over and access to their data is being undermined by a post-Brexit bill that favours big business and “shady” technology companies, a digital rights group has claimed.

The data protection and digital information bill includes changes to rules on subject access requests (SARs), which allow an individual to ask an organisation for copies of personal information that it holds about them, and automated decision-making.

SARs hit the headlines recently because of their use by politicians, including Nigel Farage in his dispute with Coutts, and the Green MP Caroline Lucas, who used one to find out that she had been flagged by a government disinformation unit. Their use is believed to have soared in recent years as a result of the 2018 EU GDPR (general data protection regulations), which meant organisations could reject a request or charge a fee only if it was “manifestly unfounded or excessive”."

Perchè il dibattito scientifico sull'origine del -Covid19 conta? Ha senso parlarne in un anno in cui il ha diminuito la sua mortalità al punto che molti sembrano essersi scordati quanto successo tre anni fa? Si, perchè le pandemie/sindemie sono qua per restare e peggiorare.

Un pregevole articolo sul di che ricostruisce il dibattito intorno all'origine del

friendly reminder

"Airborne transmission depends on three main factors, namely, stability of virus, air circulation and droplet deposition6.

-CoV-2 is found to be stable in aerosol for up to the three hours of an experiment

similar to its predecessor SARS-CoV-1 which in certain circumstances, achieved airborne transmission"

With respect to diffuse alveolar damage in -CoV2
formation of fibrin thrombi has been observed anecdotally but not studied systematically
Clinically, many patients have elevated D-dimer levels,
cutaneous changes in their extremities suggesting thrombotic microangiopathy
Diffuse intravascular coagulation and large-vessel thrombosis have been linked to multisystem organ failure

•Even though the stated purpose of mass is to create “herd immunity,” the did not require Pfizer to assess whether the could protect against asymptomatic infection or prevent transmission of -CoV-2.

"the irresponsible conspiracy-mongering of the press. Newspapers and cable news shows have long treated the lab-leak and zoonosis theories as somehow equivalent, often by asserting that both suffer from lack of evidence. That’s grossly misleading. There is no evidence for a lab leak"

THERE IS NO EVIDENCE FOR A LAB LEAK, say it with me.
