@MarcoFoster_ Gotta say, that was a very good bit by Piker.

[Markus @mar15164]

@SolidEvidence @DrEleanore1 That's disturbing.

When the powers-that-be won't even allow transparency on WW analysis, how can the public have any confidence that they'll get an early heads-up on the next novel superbug?

That's some crap, literally.

@SolidEvidence "Who had Ebola and Hanta on their BINGO cards 6 months ago?"

I take it Hanta hasn't been detected yet in WW, as I don't see it listed on your dashboard.

@SolidEvidence @SecureBio Great! Me and my cat will be eagerly watching.

@MaryBowdenMD Plasma can clot if the blood tube is spun without adequate mixing of the anticoagulant.

Be sure to rule out handling errors.

@eric_lecuyer_ "Who was that person?"

Shoulda answered: "Dunno, but he has a huge finger."

@PatriotsPups @jhas5 @FoolsMultiply If I wanted to smuggle a live bug in,I'd only place it in 1 of my 100 vials,carefully noting which one.

If checked,odds are they won't test them all,or their tests won't detect it.Even if they do detect it I can say " Hey! I scored 99% successful deactivation! Nobody's perfect!"

@caitoz Agreed. Been using lists for years, a half-dozen pinned at the top of my timeline, by topic. I "follow" zero accounts, so I get few followers in return, but that's not an issue for me.

@snpoehlm Should be of interest to the WW folks :

Study looking at COVID variants through 2024 finds essentially 2 types:

1) Respiratory: replicates more efficiently in bronchial and lung tissue
2) Gut: replicates more efficiently in the small intestine

Later variants are gut dominant. 1/

@PendleWitch_ @LynnRobsHay @JamesThrot Just saw this:

[Jon Douglas @atranscendedman]

Hiroshima University studied 6.2 million matched people in Japan.

COVID was linked to 4.14 times higher TB treatment risk, rising to 14.7 with prior TB.

This points to possible reactivation, not proof of cause.

@AJEnglish A MOU with the US plus $5 is worth about a cup of coffee at Starbucks.

[Markus @mar15164]

@BillyBostickson @flavinkins Understood, but I think you'd agree that the question list would have looked very different had DEFUSE and other subsequent revelations been available at the time. At least I'd hope so.

In 2020, it was all Shi/WIV, all the time. It was never that simple.

[Markus @mar15164]

@BillyBostickson @flavinkins In all three parts, 36 mentions of "Shi", zero of "Munster", and 2 of "Baric (via VafaOmid)".

[Markus @mar15164]

@Denachtzuster1 @jhas5 "Syrian hamsters are widely used... including by 👉Munster, but such laboratory imports are subject to strict regulations..."

Imagine Munster being stopped at the airport for hamster smuggling.

Could have been VERY embarrassing, depending on where they were hidden.

[Markus @mar15164]

@atranscendedman Good find.

[Markus @mar15164]

@PendleWitch_ @JamesThrot

[Markus @mar15164]

@CatchTheBaby Does this finding generalize to those older than 17 ?

[Markus @mar15164]

@BillyBostickson @jhas5 @SenRandPaul "Very sneaky!"

A defining characteristic of spook virologists.
