Ok, one more thing while I'm threadin' (even though nobody's readin'): "left wing" people leaving now because of the evil rich man are just as sad as the "right wing" people leaving to Parler or Truth Social because of the evil globalist elite (or whatever?). Grow up! Ok, bye!

Why is everybody so obsessed with this one platform and its owner? You all do know that it's still possible to host your own website, right?

Web 1.0 never went away.

Seems we just got addicted to 2.0's FOMO platforms and kinda forgot what the web was about in the first place.

Ok, back to doomscrolling twitter dot com!

@shulevski Haha, fine, let's call it a draw ;)

[Patrick Bos @egpbos]

@shulevski It's the reference on biorxiv you mentioned. "WT and Omi-S caused mortality rates of 100% (6/6) and 80% (8/10), respectively".

[Patrick Bos @egpbos]

@shulevski It has, under the same experimental conditions as those that produced the 80% number. Spraying a huge dose of the virus straight up the poor mice' noses. Result with base strain: 100% dead. Result with chimera: 80% dead.

[Patrick Bos @egpbos]

@shulevski ...which is lower than the 100% mortality of the original. Sure, it's still dangerous, but this stuff is out there in the world already, actually killing people. I think we should try to understand it as well as we can so we can fight it better.

[Patrick Bos @egpbos]

@flim_nl @neef_steef @bencoates1 There's also German "gewiss", which is a more direct cognate to Dutch "wis".

[Patrick Bos @egpbos]

@shulevski What type? Any splicing? That would cripple virology...

[Patrick Bos @egpbos]

@shulevski Really interesting actually!
1. Wuhan + Omicron Spike = 80% mortality
2. Wuhan = 100% mortality
3. Omicron = 0% mortality
=> Omicron, even without spike, is weaker than Wuhan

That's in line with the expectation that the virus will evolve towards a common cold / flu.
