Game based on or similar to the #StarTrek #Voyager episode where a fraud Barclay hologram is trying to convince Doctor he's in a degradative simulation and needs to nuke the warp core, only for it to be revealed he actually has a computer #virus, which B'Elanna is racing to fix before he is gaslit into self destruction.

(So, basically what COVID19 does to the human brain.)

Would be a fun game...

The study found #BreakthroughInfections in #vaccinated people were not due to an absence of antibodies but depend on #AntibodyLevels at the time of exposure, the #neutralizing ability of the antibodies and the amount of #virus to which the person is #exposed.”

Outright, undeniable lies by #JeaninePirro (aka Judge Box-Wine). It is an objective fact that the #COVID #vaccine is effective at reducing the severity of a COVID #infection, and reducing the #transmissibility of the #virus. That's what the empirical data shows. For her to claim otherwise is an overt and intentional lie made to advance a particular political #agenda, and without regard for the consequences of spreading malinformation on a consequential platform.

#IDMastodon Evidence showing that some #LongCovid patients may not fully clear the #SarsCoV2 #virus after acute infection. Instead, replicating virus and/or viral RNA - potentially capable of being translated to produce viral proteins - persist in tissue as a "reservoir" . This is the best review of #viralpersistence as the driver of #longCOVID to have appeared so far 🧵 by @microbeminded2

The SARS-CoV-2 #virus #mutates much faster than our #science and #medical #infrastructure can adapt and respond, especially with the strong—and criminally negligent—#government resistance to adopting and maintaining serious, ongoing risk mitigation policies against the #disease.

The next #vaccine should be available soon, but may only be very effective for those like me who are 65+ and/or have #medical conditions

Hantavirus case reported in King County

While rare in King County, residents should be aware of the risk of hantavirus. Minimizing exposure to rodents, particularly deer mice and their nests is key to prevention. https://tinyurl.com/2p96u5k5

I discovered why my #PC has been painfully slow for the last few weeks. After a LOT of troubleshooting, when I went to have a look at the fan speeds to see if there may be a cooling issue I spotted that it had somehow, magically, switched the power plan to "Low Power" instead of "High Performance".

So now my 64Gb Stupid fast PC is running like was built this century.

If I was ever going to write a virus just to piss people off, now I know what I'd make it do!

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

“siRNA can stop #SARSCoV2 replication by directly targeting the virus itself, which means there is no immune system involvement,” https://med-mastodon.com/@LordsofHardwired/110874679883984122

Initial findings from a large clinical trial testing a vaccine against the chikungunya virus show the vaccine generates protective antibodies in the vast majority of recipients.

Zika cases surging in Thailand 🦟 🦟

I wrote a review article on the role of mathematical modeling in understanding and predicting Zika virus transmission some years back.

If it can aid in understanding the Zika virus transmission dynamics, please check it out:

New co-author paper out! We compared the microbiomes of healthy cattle between cattle with a respiratory illness and found a bunch of new viruses. 😁

Admission: The First Step to a Sustainable Solution - #JohnSnowProject https://johnsnowproject.org/insights/admission-the-first-step-to-a-sustainable-solution/ “Admitting we have a problem is the first step to solving the problem. If we don’t recognize the challenges posed by #SARSCoV2, the #virus will continue to disrupt our way of life and exact a hefty toll in #disability and #death.”

No, no it doesn't. There's exactly no reason to believe that the #COVID #vaccine had anything to do with his health problems. This is an example of irresponsible media trying to manufacture news, and trade on sensationalism. The fact is that the COVID #virus is exponentially more likely to cause #myocarditis than the vaccine. These #FoxNews people are a #disgrace, and they should be ashamed of themselves.
