JigsyConsidering the following:00:00
Jigsy3>Children are less likely to get COVID-1900:00
Jigsy3>Oh, btw, children from separate households aren't allowed to mix00:00
LjLJigsy, the whole thing about children is quite unclear atm00:02
LjLi don't know if they're less likely to get it and i don't know if they're less likely to infect others, although there's studies indicating so00:02
LjLbut then there's other more recent studies suggesting the opposite!00:02
de-factoat least their throat and pharyngeal swabs have viral loads in the same order of magnitude than (a)symptomatic adults (similar RT-PCR cycle counts until detection), hence that would suggest comparable viral shedding00:05
de-factoand probably young children in kindergarden/(pre)school cant really follow hygiene concepts like distancing and wearing masks, so at least the question of if their mixing together in (the same) groups can be a "corona-virus hub" (similar to the common colds they frequently bring home) may be asked.00:07
de-factoWas it determined how much opening schools contributed to the second wave magnitude in Israel?00:17

BeardedSmith432hello everyone04:04
BeardedSmith432https://freedomplatform.tv/plandemic-indoctornation-world-premiere/ facebook has banned this. should check it out. if its not cool to post it kick me i guess. worth the watch04:05
LjLBeardedSmith432, no, honestly yeah i would normally kick you for that, we don't like the word "plandemic", we don't like downplaying what's happening... none of that. but maybe you can stay and see what the real thing is about.04:07
BeardedSmith432LjL i mean no disrespect at all and wont post further. i think the virus is most certainly real but i think its being used politically. im more than happy to have a dialog about it04:14
LjLBeardedSmith432, well just about anything that can be used politically, is04:14
LjLdoesn't make the epidemic planned04:14
BeardedSmith432LjL i know many doctors and medical professionals and theres some conflict is all im saying04:15
BeardedSmith432LjL i understand theres differences of opinons. 04:15
BeardedSmith432everything now days is used against us to either create fear or divide us i feel04:16
LjLwhat do your medical acquaintances say04:17
BeardedSmith432LjL i just find it curious that we never did this for H1N1 or swine or ebola etc. millions died from those but we didnt do what we've done now04:18
BeardedSmith432well on fort hood military base theres been only two confirmed deaths and one was in renal failure already and the other arrived with a mild heart attack. 04:18
BeardedSmith432both very old04:18
LjLmillions didn't die for ebola. many died, in horrible ways, but it's still somewhat confined to africa and not very easily transmissible04:19
BeardedSmith432the seasonal flu kills more people. cigs and alcohol kill more04:19
BeardedSmith432LjL i meant combined 04:19
LjLabout 1600 people died from ebola, and, sad as it is, the fact it's remained confined to africa is the main reason we haven't been all that concerned04:19
LjLwell okay04:19
BeardedSmith432what of swine or h1n1?04:19
LjLALL THINGS THAT AREN'T COVID COMBINED, they kill many more people than COVID04:20
LjLi will accept that04:20
LjLalthough i'm not sure what that tells me about whether we should do things about COVID04:20
BeardedSmith432i think its been politicized this time but is no more harmful than seasonal flu is all04:20
LjLH1H1, wikipedia tells me it killed 18000 people in 2009, which i understand is its main year04:21
BeardedSmith432to have to wear a maks to walk into a dinner and then take off at the table makse no sense04:21
LjLof course it killed "some" people in 1918 but that's when measures like we're having now WERE instated04:21
dzhowow are we still doing this04:21
LjLyes, we shouldn't be allowed to have dinners out, that's entirely silly04:21
dzhogenerally, vulnerable populations have access to a vaccine for flu04:21
LjLdzho, it beats just listening to the bot say stuff nobody even clicks on anymore04:22
dzhohealth care workers, the elderly, those with other conditions04:22
BeardedSmith432thats my point. the tactics which they layed out to defeat this are silly and controlling at best04:22
LjLBeardedSmith432, i don't know how you jump from silly to controlling04:22
LjLthere are obvious reasons why they give people exceptions04:22
dzhowhat's your point?04:22
dzhoexceptions?04:22
LjLrestaurants in a country like mine will be like "you can't keep us shut down forever, we'll fail"04:22
LjLand so they don't04:22
LjLand they let them reopen04:23
LjLseems pretty obvious they're dancing around the economy vs health04:23
LjLbut where does the jump to "controlling" come from04:23

BeardedSmith432yet walmart never skipped a beat04:23
BeardedSmith432many other big box stores kept open while the small people closed04:23
dzhoto complete *my* point, with COVID there is no vaccine, yet, to give to the vulnerable and highly-exposed populations04:23
LjLnot here04:23
dzhoso we've been losing health -care workers that we can ill afford to lose04:24
LjLpartly one of the thing with people like you is you automatically assume you're always talking to a US public04:24
BeardedSmith432sports is fine but not voting. in what world is any sports program essintial?04:24
LjLi'm not US public04:24
LjLand the US government has behaved moronically04:24
LjLwhich just about nobody here doubts, i think04:24
dzhoLjL: the US has so many governments04:24
BeardedSmith432i have no assumptions youre american infact i doubt it04:24
LjLi'm talking about the federal government04:24
LjLluckily for me i haven't followed what every state government has been doing04:24
dzhoI joke--if you like small government, come here, we have a lot of small government04:24
LjLi have my own governments to worry about04:24
dzhocity, county, state, federal04:25
BeardedSmith432i think we as an entire society regardless of geographic location need to stand up04:25
dzhoschool district, fire district, sidewalk improvement district, street light district04:25
LjLstand up and do... what?04:25
dzholibrary district04:25
dzhostand up to idiots who think this is fake04:25
dzhosorry04:25
dzhoI used a word there04:26
dzhothat was rash of me.04:26
LjLwell besides he doesn't think it's fake04:26
LjLjust that it's being exploited politically, apparently04:26
LjLwhich is honestly hard to doubt04:26
dzhofake magnitude04:26
dzhono worse than flu04:26
BeardedSmith432i can see yall arent open for discussion so ill be on my way. if you dont see the problems withing hollywood and mainstream media then clearly youre closing your eyes04:26
dzhoFOX is mainstream in the US04:27
BeardedSmith432yes they are04:27
dzhobut somehow that never gets included in this04:27
BeardedSmith432right wing 04:27
LjLwhat the hell do i care about hollywood?04:27
dzhoikr04:27
BeardedSmith432when have i excluded them dzho04:27
BeardedSmith432see thats the problem though LjL04:27
BeardedSmith432people dont care so they get to keep doign what they do04:27
LjLlook, if your country has a problem, and that problem is hollywood04:28
LjLfix it04:28
LjLdon't come here and talk nonsense about a pandemic to me in europe04:28
LjLi can't possibly have a debate with someone who just throws things out there, like we're talking about the pandemic management measures and you go "if you can't see the problems in hollywood..."04:29
LjLthat's not even goalpost moving, i don't even know what that's called04:29
LjLit's probably called making no sense04:29
LjLthere's probably a lot to be analyzed about how governments have been handling this, and also how they may have been exploiting it. it's too bad many the people who are prone to such analyses cannot explain their position coherently.04:30
dzhoLjL: not sure if you saw the opinion piece in the US from a while back, over a week ago now probably, recommending the US shut down until cases are 1 new case per day per 100,000 people04:30

LjLdzho, i saw a piece about the spanish flu in australia, they shut down once, then they reopened, then cases started going back up, and they shut down again, then they reopened, then cases started going back up, and the economy was too much in shambles for anyone to seriously propose shutting down again, and so they just let it run its course04:54
LjLcan we do something differently effective, i don't know04:54
de-factomy best guess would be broadly available cheap and fast tests people can do themselves at home in large quantities would have the biggest impact until vaccination is ready05:02
de-factojust imagine you could do a cheap test everytime you brush your teeth or such05:03
de-factoif it could me made to cost only a few cents ...05:04
Dynaim from Victoria, australia, we are currently in Stage 4 Lockdown ... LjL yes our numbers went down and we reopened and we slowly fell back into stage 3lockdown. Then as the numbers rose, we went into stage 4 lockdown. Curfew of 8pm, if you are outside you must wear a mask at all times (otherwise can be fined $200) exercise restriced to 1 hour and you are only allowed to travel 5km from you place of residence ...05:15
DynaAll of our borders are closed, States and International borders closed. 05:15
Dynaand still during this Stage 4 Lockdown, our numbers havent dropped much at all ... 05:16
de-factoDo you know where the majority of cases in Victoria emerge from? Is it known how the virus can spread between compartments despite lockdown?05:16
DynaOhhh and you are only allowed to travel to your 'work, exeercise locations and shopping' but only allowed one person from household in grocery store05:17
LjLDyna, i was talking about what Australia did with the Spanish flu... but anyway yeah, that sounds good, compared to the stuff with did... which was similar but when we had many more cases05:17
LjLproblem is, how many times can this stunt be pulled05:17
LjLdifference compared to 1918 is that we can expect a vaccine "soon" this time, i guess05:17
LjLDyna, yes that does remind me a lot of italy's lockdown, probably not a coincidence05:17
LjLDyna, do you have to carry any paperwork?05:18
DynaNo real location on where cases are emerging from. But we did have a large 'BLM' protest and had alot of cases emerge from there and also a huge number of cases came out when the lockdown was softened and people where out, bars, restaurants etc05:18

See https://offloop.net/covid19/?default=Mexico for time series data.05:19
DynaEver for work you must have a permit for it05:19
LjLDyna, it sounds like an almost verbatim copy of italy's mechanism05:21
Dynayeah i think so 05:21
de-factohow long since that stage 4 lockdown was implemented in Victoria?05:21
Dyna3 weeks ago now ... and we have a minimum 3 more weeks05:22
Dynastage 4 lockdown (6 weeks) with possible extension05:22
de-factoAsking because cause and effect might be quite delayed, but for whole of Australia new cases seem to be on decline since begin of August or such05:26
de-factoare you allowed to visit other families or friends at their home? and if not does that really not happen?05:28

BrainstormLjL, Spanish to English: The Ministry of Health has detected 3,715 cases in the last 24 hours, the highest figure in its records since last April 23, but it has added 6,671 infections to the total balance, which amounts to 370,867 since the start of the pandemic. (MyMemory, Google) [... want %more?]20:55
LjLthis sounds like 3715 are the cases *that occurred specifically within the past 24h* but the number to add to the total for today is 6671(!)20:55
LjLand offloop gives yet another number, 5000-something, but its Spain graph is all bad anyway20:55
LjL(with either data source)20:56
de-factohttps://www.mscbs.gob.es/profesionales/saludPublica/ccayes/alertasActual/nCov-China/documentos/Actualizacion_187_COVID-19.pdf20:56
LjL"nCov-China"20:57
LjLso WHO-noncompliant20:57
LjLugh20:57
LjLthat's about as absurdly stated as the above made me think20:57
LjLthey tell you the cases diagnosed within the past 7 days, 14 days, and then the same again but only when symptoms began in that period20:58
de-factooh sorry i meant https://www.mscbs.gob.es/profesionales/saludPublica/ccayes/alertasActual/nCov-China/documentos/Actualizacion_188_COVID-19.pdf <- thats today of spain20:58
LjLand then the cases diagnosed in the past one day20:58
LjLbut not *notified*, *diagnosed*20:58
LjLde-facto, same difference though20:59
LjLthe 3715 total is not the same number as we expect of other countries20:59
LjLit only includes the ones that were tested yesterday!20:59
LjLwhich is absurd20:59
LjLof course there's often more than one day of delay between testing and notification20:59
LjLso they add those to the weekly and bi-weekly totals20:59
LjLwhich makes it not very possible to know just how many cases were notified *today*21:00
LjLwhich is the number we get for other countries generally21:00
LjLi guess you can look at "casos totales" and subtract yesterday's from today's21:00
de-facto"Casos diagnosticados el día previo": 3.715 is that the daily new cases from yesterday or cases found since yesterday?21:01
LjLwhich, sadly, gives 667121:01
LjLde-facto, it's the cases that were tested yesterday21:01
LjLif they were found before yesterday, but only notified today, those aren't included21:01
LjLso the real "today's total" as comparable to other countries is 6671 :\21:01
LjLde-facto, "Casos diagnosticados el día previo" might be 0 every single day, if they never manage to notify cases within the same day as diagnosis21:02
LjLand yet they could have a ton of cases21:02
de-factohmm well they only can publish the new cases of yesterday (because today is not summed up yet at publishing date)21:02
LjLi don't know what use is knowing the number of cases that were specifically tested within the past 24 hours21:03
de-factoso i guess those 3715 is the equivalent other countries publish too21:03
LjLexcept giving a lower number to media than 667121:03
LjLde-facto, no, no21:03
LjLwhat i'm saying is21:03
LjLtake days 0, 1, 221:03
LjLon day 0 they register 10000 cases21:03
LjLbut they don't notify them21:03
LjLon day 1 and 2 they register 0 cases21:03
LjLthe result for "Casos diagnosticados el día previo" is 0, 0, 021:03
de-factowhut?21:04
LjLbecause the 10000 diagnosed on day 0 get notified on day 221:04
LjLand that's past the 24h window21:04
LjLif you sum "Casos diagnosticados el día previo" for every day ever, you get a much lower number than the actual total number of cases21:04
LjLthey only count them if they were diagnosed *not before* 24h ago21:04
LjLif they were diagnosed before, they don't end up in "Casos diagnosticados el día previo"21:05
de-factobut why? that does not make any sense to me21:05
LjLthey end up in the weekly totals, and they end up in the grand total21:05
LjL<LjL>30 except giving a lower number to media than 667121:05
LjL3715 sounds a lot less bad than 667121:05
de-factofor me daily new cases is the time derivative of total cases21:05
LjLwell not for them21:05
LjLit may be subtle but the description is clear after all21:06
LjL%tr <es Casos diagnosticados el día previo21:06
BrainstormLjL, Spanish to English: Cases diagnosed the day before (MyMemory, Google) — Cases diagnosed the previous day (Apertium)21:06
BrainstormUpdates for Aruba: +91 cases (now 1296), +1 deaths (now 5) since a day ago — World: +1303 cases (now 22.5 million), +16 deaths (now 788505) since 23 minutes ago — Dominican Rep.: +1004 cases (now 88127), +12 deaths (now 1501) since 19 hours ago — US: +663 cases (now 5.7 million), +8 deaths (now 175694) since 23 minutes ago21:06
LjLit is not "Cases accumulated since yesterday", it's "Cases that were specifically diagnosed not before 24h ago"21:06
de-factothats more than weird imho21:07
LjLif you subtract "Casos totales" in https://www.mscbs.gob.es/profesionales/saludPublica/ccayes/alertasActual/nCov-China/documentos/Actualizacion_188_COVID-19.pdf from the number in https://www.mscbs.gob.es/profesionales/saludPublica/ccayes/alertasActual/nCov-China/documentos/Actualizacion_187_COVID-19.pdf you get 6671, which is also what https://www.rtve.es/noticias/20200819/curva-contagios-muertes-coronavirus-espana-dia-dia/2010514.shtml gives as "pero ha 21:07
LjLsumado 6.671 contagios al balance total"21:07
LjLde-facto, it gives you a measure of how fast testing notification is, i guess21:07
LjLbut i doubt that's the reason they provide that number21:08
LjLthe ultimate reason must be to give the press a lower number21:08
groto[m]is a p100 filter sufficient for corona?21:09
de-factoyeah i did not notice that on first sight but stumbled above that wording there on searching for the correct column21:09
groto[m] * does a p100 mask block corona?21:09
de-factowhat is a p100 mask?21:09
groto[m]ill get a picture21:10
groto[m]de-facto: "Half-face air-purifying respirator with combination P100 particulate filter (magenta) and organic vapor (black) cartridge"21:11
groto[m]de-facto: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NIOSH_air_filtration_rating21:11
de-factoit depends on the environment (e.g. probability and aerosol density to be expected), but i think something like FFP2 or FFP3 might suffice for most such environments to lower the infection probability to reasonable levels https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FFP_standards21:12
LjL"sufficient" for what groto[m], i think no mask will stop you from getting COVID with 100% certainty21:12
LjLi think for most people, the type of masks is going to be less relevant than 1) the amount of air that gets in bypassing the masks's fit 2) the amount of touching the mask 3) the amount of just not wearing it21:12
de-factoyeah good points there21:13
groto[m]it seems to be equivalent to FFP3 mask21:13
de-factoafaik FFP3 is the first mentioning limited protection against virus/bacteria21:13
de-factosince its a filter its all a question of probabilities anyhow, hence depending on concentration21:14
LjLand is nowhere to be found on my amazon :P21:14
LjLFFP2s aren't found either except they may be labeled as such while really being KN9521:14
de-factopretty much like containment measures depending on local prevalence in a population21:14
LjLalso it's still not ruled out that you may get it from your eyes21:15
LjLwhich a mask does nothing about21:15
groto[m]on the 3m brand package for a p100 mask/ffp3, it says that it protects against influenza but it does how much protect or list any studies21:15
groto[m] * on the 3m brand package for a p100 mask/ffp3, it says that it protects against influenza but it now say how much protection or list any studies21:16
de-factoyes but also keep in mind its always a compromise: filter performance is bought at the cost of air resistance per filter area21:16
LjLgroto[m], a better question than an unanswerable "does it catch every virus particle" is like, does it provide a good fit, is it breathable or does it become wet and you're forced to take it off after ten minutes21:16
groto[m]fair points21:17
groto[m]is it true that cloth masks do not protect the wearer at all? 21:17
LjLi don't think there's any properly backed up claim for that21:20
de-factocotton community masks do protect, but less than surgical masks, FFP2/(K)N95,  FFP3/P100 and full masks with filter unit or even gas tank with over pressurized plastic suit21:20
groto[m]found something, wiki on dust filter type masks;21:20
groto[m]"Some N95 respirators have also been cleared by the U.S. National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and U.S. Food and Drug Administration as surgical and are labeled "Surgical N95", "medical respirators," or "healthcare respirators," providing respiratory protection to the wearer as well.[15][16]21:20
groto[m]The CDC recommends the use of respirators with at least N95 certification to protect the wearer from inhalation of infectious particles including Mycobacterium tuberculosis, avian influenza, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), pandemic influenza, and Ebola.[17] "21:20
groto[m]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Respirator21:20
LjLyes N95/FFP2 is what everyone is recommending as reasonable minimum for wearer protection21:21
de-factobtw curious about if smoke particles or vaping would be able to act as transport vehicles for SARS-CoV-2 virions21:21
LjLdoesn't mean they protect fully, and doesn't mean lesser form of protection do nothing, either21:21
groto[m]i hear a lot of social media posts saying "that cloth masks do not protect the wearer", never from good sources.21:21
de-factoi read its being discussed in Spain right now if they want to disallow smoking in public places21:21
LjLde-facto, while i don't know that, i try to stay away from smokers. there *is* that Bergamo study that looked at PM2.5 from pollution, and found viral RNA on it21:22
de-factoyeah me too, better safe than sorry21:22
LjLgroto[m], good sources don't really know, although there are a couple of not-great studies that show some proection. but "cloth" is a lot of things.21:22
LjLN95 masks or FFP2 masks or what-have-you are made to a standard. people's cloth masks are not.21:22
de-factocareful with N95 standard, i read many Chinese manufacturers switched from producing phones to producing masks, i doubt all of them are controlled that well, afaik 50% are below spec 21:23

LjLbut what i'm saying is just that studies cannot easily "certify" cloth masks, because cloth could mean a number of different things, a virtually infinite combination of characteristics21:25
de-factoyes indeed21:25
groto[m]Wow avian influenza virus subtype H5N1 and covid19 only share the same kingdom. They are different Phylums.21:26
LjLde-facto, that warning holds true for FFP2 masks too, by the way, since many chinese KN95 are being sold "as" FFP2 (not sure how legally, but maybe legally)21:27
groto[m]covid19 is as similar said avian flu as humans are to ants wow21:27
LjLwhy did you think it was similar21:27
LjLwe've been trying to stress left and right that this is nothing like influenza21:27
de-factomany just print it on them because noone can control it right now21:28
LjLbut i guess the "it's just a flu" folks manage to get part of the message across even to people who don't believe them...?21:28
groto[m]social media is all like 'just a flu', so i thought it was at least a strong sub type of flu21:28
LjLde-facto, i've tried to buy some on amazon but after looking at the reviews, there is *nothing* that's really going to be a true FFP2 or nevermind FFP321:28
LjLgroto[m], no, it's a coronavirus. it's related to SARS and to MERS, unrelated to flu21:28
LjLwell, except for being a virus21:29
LjLsocial media bullshit isn't just partial lies, it's complete lies21:29
de-factohence the importance to choose a manufacturer which already was active on this field prior to the pandemic and got a reputation to loose21:29
groto[m]yea same kingdom literally nothing else21:29
LjLgroto[m], https://covid19.specops.network/#questions21:29
groto[m]*dreams of being able to show ppl that if covid19 is an influenza, then ppl are the species ants21:30
LjLde-facto, well if only i had known beforehand, i'd have written down a list of amazon sellers ;(21:30
groto[m]american 3m sells FFP3 equivalents. amazon.com21:31
de-factothey are shortlived and appear like mushrooms, one gets busted ten new appear21:31
LjLgroto[m], i can't buy from amazon.com21:31
LjLi need to buy from an EU amazon21:31
LjLi could buy N95 if i could buy from 3M, i'm not fixated on FFP221:31
LjLN95 and FFP2 are basically equivalent (if not fake)21:32
groto[m]hmm21:32
LjLiirc i found something that looked semi-legit on amazon.de, but sure enough, it had a red "This item doesn't ship to Italy" notice21:34
de-factopro tip: dont buy on amazon...21:34
de-factoits where all those Chinese manufacturers register right now21:35
groto[m]the fact that ppl call SARS-CoV-2 'coronavirus' sounds problematic? if we get a SARS-CoV-3 (SARS-CoV-1 is sars 2003), ppl might think it's still SARS-CoV-221:35
de-factosearch for a professional store selling working clothing21:35
groto[m]is covid03 a term?21:36
de-factoafaik there are at least 7 corona viruses 229E, NL63, OC43, HKU1 and their bad brothers SARS, MERS and SARS-2 known to infect humans21:39
groto[m]sars-1 and covid19 are both 'Betacoronaviruses', same genus. Sars-1 and covid19 more in common than we do with chimpanzees. sars1 and cov19 are equivalent to homo sapiens and neanderthal21:40
IndoAnonugh, it's 2019-nCoV 21:40
IndoAnon新型コロナ21:41
groto[m]mers is a 'betacoronavirus' too. 21:41
groto[m]why is mers not = sars-2 and covid19 = sars-3?21:41
IndoAnonbecause WHO ploy with naming 21:42
groto[m]IndoAnon: SARS-CoV-2 on wiki = 2019-nCoV21:42

groto[m]so it's basically destiny that we'll get a fourth betacoronav. Can we give it somethign that rolls off the tongue and is scientific? nsa if you're listening, make it happen21:43
IndoAnonbuddy, why would you think there's EBOLA, Spanish flu, japanese encephalitis, Marburg disease, legioner disease, hong kong flu, zika, etc...  but not wuhan pneumonia? 21:45
groto[m]i think that japanese vice said it well, rename WHO to ChineseHO21:45
groto[m]well technically it shouldn't be called wuhan pnemonia since pneumonia is a bacteria :p21:46
groto[m]even mers has a 'better' name: 'Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS), also known as camel flu'21:48

eideticwhy is Boeing's death planes in CNBC 'health'?21:50
de-factobasically Coronaviridae and Bats coevolved so there are thousands more in that natural reservoir, yet its unclear how many of those got pathogenic potential in humans afaik21:50
IndoAnonRIP minks 21:50
eideticoh 'pandemic hurts' economy makes it 'health' ....sigh21:51
groto[m]de-facto:  does anyone have a theory about how it maybe went bats - pangolan - humans?21:51
de-factoSARS-1?21:51
eideticwho cares what its called 21:52
groto[m]sars-1 is sars-cov-1, aka coronavirus from 200321:52
groto[m]sars-1 isn't a real term, my finger hurts so typing less21:53
IndoAnongroto[m]: http://archive.is/ZQKnJ21:53
de-factoafaik the natural reservoir are bats, but then  civet cat/pangolin/dromedary camels/whatever are intermediate hosts, e.g. got at some point contaminated from bats excrements/bites/whatever and then it jumped over to humans, possibly on those wildlife markets etc21:54
groto[m]<eidetic "who cares what its called "> raises hand. indoanon too :p21:54
de-factobut thats all not strictly known i guess21:54
eideticgroto[m]: ya obviously important to the QAnons21:54
groto[m]de-facto: any thoeries on how long it 'incubated' in pangolins before jumping to humans21:55
groto[m]eidetic: qanon, talk about a name that suxs too21:55
de-factoafaik for SARS its said to have been intermediate host Civet Cat, for MERS the Dromedary Camels, and for SARS-2 its not clear yet possibly pangolins or also fur farm animals like minks or ferrets or such?21:56
IndoAnongroto[m]: no definite proof21:56
IndoAnonbecause they sterilized the seafood market 21:57
de-factowell the phylogenetic tree spreads on every mutation, and there is a natural rate for mutations (hence average amount of mutations over time), so by comparison of two sequences of RNA (e.g. different strains) there can be made estimates since how long those were divided on the phylogenetic tree21:58
groto[m]IndoAnon: "COVID-19 first appeared in a group of Chinese miners in 2012, scientists say " wow, sure no way21:58
eideticbasic virology, why any surprise, Virii have reservoirs21:58
IndoAnonincluding BSL-4 lab eidetic 21:58
eideticplanet is a giant soup of all types of Virii 21:58
eideticIndoAnon: yes, well, bit like Russian agitprop, whom will ever really know21:59
groto[m]IndoAnon: wiki makes no mention of sars-2 in 2012, so it must be some up and coming reseacrh still22:00
de-factothat is assumed mutation rates are known in the natural host and dont change much as well as probably selective pressure optimizing to a specific epigenetic environment such as binding strength to a specific receptor of the (intermediate) host or the immune pressure or such22:00
eideticif you want to spend all day, playing detective on the internet, ok 22:00
IndoAnon 10.3389/fvets.2020.00457 22:00
groto[m]de-facto: hmm okay so it sounds like it wasn't like a pangolins get sars-2 then 1 mo later humans too22:01
LjLwhy does paracetamol make me sleepy?22:02
de-factoprobably not, if it was highly optimized to pangolin cells or immune system it could be speculated to have spend there quite a significant time undergoing mutations, but if it would just have been a few months or such i doubt there would be a major effect from selection visible22:02
BrainstormNew from CNBC Health: (news): Coronavirus live updates: CDC to monitor sewage systems for virus; schools likely years from return to 'normal' → https://is.gd/BXKfiL22:02
IndoAnongroto[m]: I don't know how you're able to get to here... Unfortunately, you have to read substantial amount of 200k+75k IRC messages or  archive of ~4615*300 posts to get enough knowledge base... i would recommend pastebins though 22:04
de-factobut if its a massive pandemic maybe "parallel bruteforcing" for optimizing mutations may make occurrence of a strain with advantages more probable? idk like D614G for SARS-CoV-2?22:05
de-factobut tbh idk im not a virologist or such22:06
groto[m]de-facto:  sounds like that mean that to detect sars-cov-3, we could detect it first in farm animals in advance22:07
IndoAnonde-facto: me too... However, we knew that something could be pushed to do something that human wants22:07
IndoAnonLong before mendel, human forced ancestor of banana into banana today22:07
de-factoyou mean like "smart breeding" kind of effort?22:08
de-factoprobably then RNA/DNA would not show traces of artificial influence and just look like the product of natural selection22:09
IndoAnonde-facto: there's already term for that, it's eugenics 22:09
groto[m]IndoAnon: smart breeding of sars-2? what purpose?22:10
de-factoidk thats almost going too far with speculation for my taste22:12
IndoAnongroto[m]: to gain advantageous traits? hey, i'm limiting my vocabulary to 10th grader biology level22:12
groto[m]IndoAnon: the nypost article did not mention whether the virus was dna tested for - it could have been another breed of corona that caused those miners to become ill22:13
groto[m]"In May 2019, 14 cases of MERS were reported to the World Health Organisation (WHO) by Saudi authorities, of which five were fatal"22:17
de-factohe wrote "sars-1 = 2003 ; mers = 2012 ; sars2 = 2019; => 1 new corona every 8 yrs"22:18
groto[m]de-facto: is my formating not working?22:18
de-factoit was like "groto[m] sent a long message: ...URL..."22:18
de-factoprobably because of newlines22:19
groto[m]oh ty, i'm using matrix22:19
groto[m]aka element.io22:19
de-factobut yeah, yet N=3 is not really statistically significant to claim such a periodicity, it looks like it, but it does not confirm it (yet)22:19
groto[m]if we're lucky, hopefully N will nvr be statisticaly sig22:20
de-factoindeed22:20
IndoAnongroto[m]: you need characterize the virus22:22
de-factowhich makes me wonder about the occurrence date of the other four CoVs, but am too lazy right now to google them22:22
groto[m]de-facto: other four covs? 22:23
IndoAnonMERS is basically occupational risk, because it's capability to infect the upper respiratory tract is rather limited 22:23
groto[m]IndoAnon: im a newb so don't ask me to characterize hhah22:24
de-facto 229E, NL63, OC43, HKU122:24

IndoAnonayy, there's duplicate lol. Well, my advice is, try to dig topic that's relevant to you22:27
de-factoquick glance at wikipedia shows HCoV-229E discovered in 1965; NL63 discovered in 2004; HCoV-OC43 most divergent genotypes have common ancestor in 1950s; HCoV-HKU1 discovered in 200522:30
groto[m]IndoAnon: ty, since you know more about this than many, update wikipedia?22:30
de-factoif i did read it correctly, just were skipping over the text22:30
de-factodiscovering dates dont mean first occurance in humans though, because if they just cause "common cold" and nothing more severe they just could have went under the radar for long times22:31
IndoAnongroto[m]: Wikipedia? you mean one that deprecated a line from Spanish Flu intro and mortality section because WHO declared the numbers inaccurate? 22:32
IndoAnonYou may gain something from wikipedia. However, the edit war is observable phenomenon... 22:34

groto[m]right?22:50
groto[m]IndoAnon: huh explains how seals can catch influenza22:51
ThxGivingI am thinking about a connection between a zn2+ deficiency within the cell plasma and the loss of smell and taste.. which might be a side effect of virus rna replication which happens uncontrolled within the cell and depletes a zn2+ ion in its enzyme. 22:51
IndoAnongroto[m]: this virus can survive as a fomite for days... It can infect you when the droplet evaporated 22:51
ThxGivinghttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zinc_deficiency (look at vision & smell)22:52
IndoAnonThxGiving: it's related to neurodamage... But not related to ion... More like, it cause neurotransmitter imbalances, mimicking MAO-B, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monoamine_oxidase_B22:53
de-factoThxGiving, i thought SARS-CoV-2 was believed to be able to infect the olfactory epithelium if i remember correctly (not sure)22:54
ThxGivingBy depleting the zinc level the cell also notices that its infected by a virus and starts countermeasures (reading some special dna producing interferons)22:54

de-factoThxGiving, but yeah zinc really does seem to play a role, also for immune system22:56
