Brainstormde-facto: In Canada, there have been 997655 confirmed cases (2.6% of the population) and 23032 deaths (2.3% of cases) as of 50 minutes ago. 27.8 million tests were performed (3.6% positive). Fatality can be broadly expected to lie between 1.7% (assuming prevalence as in tests) and less than 2.4% (considering only deaths and recoveries).

Brainstormde-facto: From www.theglobeandmail.com: Variant that forced B.C. ski resort shut is rapidly spreading, sending more young people to hospital - The Globe and Mail01:01
de-factoastonishing that after one year the variants still spread like wildfire all over the world, it proves that there still are no effective biosecurity concepts implemented, hence why is passenger airtravel in this form still tolerated?01:07
de-factowe are currently importing P.1 to Germany aswell (from Mallorca), happy eastern, quicktests cant prevent that, airtravel industry knows that and still does not implement proper biosecurity, then probably acts surprised when their behavior is not tolerated anymore at some point and they go bankrupt because they wont be supported by taxpayers money anymore.01:10

pwr22<LjL "Peter, i wouldn't say so until w"> Sure, but 30 in 30 million is pretty small? 7 in 30 million even less. Plus there's perhaps an indirect effect on population level mortality by not spreading the virus around as much?02:06
pwr22In any case I wouldn't want to be the one making the calls myself, am kind of annoyed I have had an AZ vaccine, if the news had broken earlier I might have tried to push for an mRNA one.02:06
pwr22Hopefully we can get to the bottom of the blood clots / preventative treatment soon enough02:07
LjLpwr22, maybe, my general opinion is 1) the evaluation of this threat should be tied to the actual circulation of COVID in a given place, so it's not absurd per se that, say, Norway keep AstraZeneca suspended but the UK don't, and 2) people are waaaaaay too much on one side or the other (although i might just use reddit too much) instead of seeing #102:07
pwr22I also want to know if it is a interaction between clotting factors and antibodies, do the actual covid immunity antibodies have the same effect? What about those for the mRNA vaccines?02:07
LjLpwr22, i'd be annoyed at getting AZ mainly for the lower efficacy02:08
pwr22Yeah Norway has had a concerning level of the clots IMO02:08
pwr22Ha ha, I thought the efficacy thing has been mostly put to bed now?02:08
pwr22As in different measurement / studies get different results all over the place02:08
pwr22But always better than nothing 😀02:08
LjLpwr22, it seems to be somewhat established that the mRNA vaccines aren't causing this. as to why, your guess is as good as de-facto's. not that de-facto would have a guess, he'd just take it down with NPIs02:08
LjLpwr22, no, the efficacy is definitely lesser :(02:08
LjLprotection from severe disease may be okay02:09
LjLbut also, a recent trial on Pfizer announced that it's still fairly protective on the South African variant02:09
pwr22<LjL "Peter, it seems to be somewhat e"> I dunno, I've not seen spotlights on them and there are also less of them being administered except maybe in the US which hasn't exactly been great at providing or recording good data so far in the pandemic?02:09
LjLon the other hand we know that AZ isn't protective from it at all, except *maybe* for severe disease02:09
pwr22So I remain a sceptic02:09
LjLpwr22, here they are being administered more and more02:09
LjLsince y'all don't export your AZ, mainly02:10
pwr22<LjL "but also, a recent trial on Pfiz"> I thought there was some evidence it wasn't?02:10
LjLthe EU has currently much more Pfizer around than AZ02:10
LjLpwr22, there were in vitro studies showing the antibody neutralization activity went way down. but this is a study on actual humans (not) getting sick. a bit small, though.02:10
pwr22Sure, but I mean has it had like 30 million doses in a single population with good tracking of side effects?02:10
LjLpwr22, Pfizer has had a comparable number of doses in the EU02:11
pwr22<LjL "Peter, there were in vitro studi"> Eh, I won't trust anything that comes from Pfizer's mouth directly myself02:11
icanthackHow fast are these guys typing...02:11
pwr22I say this as a shareholder in the company 😀02:11
pwr22Me? I dunno02:11
LjLicanthack, maybe we can hack02:11
icanthack;)02:11
pwr22120wpm maybe 😀02:11
LjLpwr22, i didn't say it came from Pfizer's mouth, but like it or not usually the actual trials on large numbers of humans come from the companies involved02:12
pwr22Sure, I just mean I'll feel better about things once there's more data02:12
LjLand if you think side effects when administered on the general population are easily trackable... they aren't, all the statistics get wonky with them02:13
LjLpwr22, you'll be fine. vast majority of people having this issues are women which didn't apply to you last i checked02:13
pwr22Ha ha, not last I checked either02:13
ketasgive me my pfizer02:13
pwr22Any news on second generation vaccines specifically targetting the newer variants yet?02:14
LjLpwr22, Moderna is trialling it02:14
pwr22I'm pretty concerned about winter here in the UK even if Pfizer remains effective02:14
pwr22Ah that's good02:15
LjLnot sure anyone else is in the trial phase yet02:15
pwr22Hopefully we throw a bunch of money at them before the EU again 😛 (sorry)02:15
pwr22I really would like my family not to die02:15
LjLhopefully we don't let the EU strike the deals next time02:15
LjLyes, well, same here. my dad has just gotten an appointment. no idea which vaccine it'll be02:16
LjLmy mom is younger (meaning, less old) so she has to wait still02:16
LjLone pretty good way to make people dislike the EU is when they jeopardize the health of people you care about while at the same time you see countries outside the EU like the UK vaccinating the way they are, and Serbia having enough vaccines to give them to neighboring countries too. Serbia of all places02:17
pwr22It sucks that some places are using AZ but only for those older, who are more vulnerable so will be missing out of protection from the newer variants ☹️02:17
LjLbut it's kind of a reasonable thing to do if the blood clotting issues in younger people are deemed to be a serious issue02:18
LjLAZ seems to be quite effective in older people too02:18
pwr22Yeah, I just mean I would prefer the younger people wait and the older people get the best vaccine for them02:18
pwr22For the new variants I mean02:18
pwr22I think we are vaccinating "normal" adults here now, so it's a bit surreal for me to see, the program has really accelerated hard02:19
LjLi don't know, i think all in all everyone is protected if everyone is protected02:19
pwr22Yeah hopefully so02:19

LjLguess which are the European countries that have gone their own way with vaccine purchasing02:21
pwr22Yeah wow02:22
pwr22I actually thought poland was doing it's own thing but looks like they are inline with the EU02:22
piggziuhttps://twitter.com/statesdj/status/1377727660516909056?s=2002:22
LjLpwr22, didn't hear about Poland, but Hungary definitely bought Sputnik, and the EU kinda yelled at them, even though in reality they have all the rights to do that02:23
LjLthe EU deal only says that countries mustn't strike their own deals *with the same vaccines*02:23
LjLbut Sputnik isn't in the EU deal, was never in the EU deal02:24
LjLalso there is "you can't use it if it's not approved by the EMA!"02:24
LjLbut that's also false, they can approve it just fine through their own national agency02:24
LjLjust like the UK did, since the UK was still bound to all the EU treaties until the end of 2020, and yet02:24
LjLSerbia is additionally using some Chinese vaccine02:25
LjL(*and* Sputnik)02:26
de-factoserbia and hungary are small countries just like israel02:26
de-facto7M and 10M citizens02:26
LjLsure, it's because they're small countries, not because they made their own deals02:26
LjLis the UK a small country also?02:27
de-factowhat i am saying is that its much easier for small countries to purchase enough for a significant part of their population than for larger countries if production cap still is low02:27
de-factoUSA and UK got their own production thats different02:27
ketasin milky way, uk is a small country02:27
ketas:)02:27
LjLde-facto, we aren't purchasing on our own because we are bound to the EU deal though, not because we can't02:28
de-factoEU did buy enough vaccines to vaccinate all of EU citizens... twice02:28
LjLsure, with shitty contracts02:28
LjLhaving incompetent lawyers is not a good excuse02:28
de-factoits not they did not purchase enough, its that we simply still dont have enough production cap02:28
LjLbullshit02:29
de-factohence my constant mantra repeating that we need to ramp up production rates02:29
LjLwe should be importing from the UK and we aren't because AZ prefers to heed their contract than ours02:29
de-factoyeah, except UK would not permit that02:29
de-factonor woudl USA02:29
de-factounless they vaccinated their population02:29
LjLso why are we permitting exports to the UK?02:30
LjL(despite repeatedly threatening to ban them)02:30
de-factothats a good question actually, i am for exporting to countries without own vaccine production cap, but UK... they have more than enough vaccines and their campaign is far beyond EU and they dont export themselves02:31
LjLyeah. look, the fact that EU contracts with the vaccine makers are written "less than ideally" is not something i'm making up, it's qualified opinions02:31
de-factoi think EU should work together with UK on ramping up production cap and also develop new vaccines against all SARS-CoV-2-VoCs and maybe even try to predict future versions02:32
BrainstormNew from r/WorldNews: worldnews: COVID-19: Dates revealed for UK's first 'vaccine passport' events - and 'traffic light' system for holidays → https://is.gd/Yi3TCl02:33
de-factowe need more production rates, its the only way02:33
de-factoimho they should throw a few tens of billions of euros at the companies and get exclusive access to the production caps, if they dont deliver the companies should be seized by the states where they are registered02:34
de-factobasically we are at war, hence companies should also be treated like that02:35
de-factobtw output rates will increase in the second quarter of 2021 yet imho its too slow02:37
de-factowe need massively more production rates, orders of magnitude more02:37

de-factodelivered vs administered?03:30
najari[m]finely: thanks!03:31
najari[m]<de-facto "we are currently importing P.1 t"> quick tests can't detect?03:34
de-factothey may detect some of those, but their sensitivity is low, especially for fresh infections03:35
de-factoso one quicktest prior to flight cant replace mandatory quarantine, yet politicians rather follow the lobbyist groups and then buy vaccines again when P.1 is successfully imported03:36
de-factothey know that and also that P.1 is circulating in Mallorca right now, they just dont care and ignore the thread, we all know the result from that behavior pattern03:39
najari[m]makes sense! but the slower tests can detect them still?03:42
de-factothe tests can detect some cases, but not all of them, hence strict 14 day quarantine in a hotel should be mandatory for international travel, no tests should be allowed to shorten that03:44
de-factothat is what successful countries such as China and New Zealand do03:45
de-factobut it seems in EU noone cares about that, hence we always have the newest VoCs imported and incubate them just in time to prevent the previous solution to come to success03:45
de-factoexample: we already have 1%-2% B.1.351 (the South African evasive mutant) in Germany03:46
najari[m]:O wow we still don't have good enough tests!03:46
najari[m]no wonder they quarantined those astronauts after the lunar landing just in case03:46
de-factowhy we needed to allow traveling from South Africa without quarantine? i dont know, but obviously we imported that03:47
najari[m]do the politicians literally just not know the tests arent good enough?03:47
de-factowell of course, if someone got infected just before the test (e.g. on the airport or in the taxi or such) the test would be negative03:47
de-factothen if that lovely someone would incubate that and get sick without quarantine after having returned that someone even thinks that there could not be any transmission because of the negative test, hence probably will seed the new mutant even more efficiently03:49
najari[m]<de-facto "the tests can detect some cases,"> if someone is in a quarantine hotel for 13 days and haven't been allowed to leave, are you sure the long test still won't be able to shorten their stay to 13 days?03:49
de-factopoliticians know all that, they ignore that03:49
de-factotests are not reliable enough for excluding mutant imports, if its only testing the locally circulating variants that does not matter so much, but for mutants one leaky test already could allow seeding a new cluster03:51
de-factoexample: a worker gets infected with a variant that already is wide spread and spreads that because of a false negative test, of course those are new infections and some of them might have fatal outcomes03:53
de-factobut compared to the import of a new variant, if a false negative for a traveler allows a new cluster of a new evasive mutant, it may put a whole vaccination campaign into question, thats a whole different dimension of potential damage03:54
de-factohence i dont understand why that is tolerated at all03:54
de-factointernational traveling for holidays, because... party is fun? how does that compare to starting a whole new wave of immuno-evasive infections in a country?03:55
de-factobut yeah why not subsidize those lovely airlines with taxmoney and allow them their "pseudo-alibi-biosecurity" for their PR departments, so they could go "heh we do everything we can", with a cheapo quicktest, probably not even done correctly. this is not going to work out well, actually it cant.03:57
de-factolets look in 1-2 months for P.1 prevalence...03:59
de-factothen send them the bill for that03:59
de-factothey would be immediately bankrupt by many many orders of magnitude03:59
najari[m]i see,04:00
najari[m]the rightwing masses will demand their air travel and complain about qurantine hotels04:00
najari[m]i'm not sure why we don't just quarantine ppl hard in the hotels, it would help the hotel industry and repay some government covid spending.04:01
LjLthey do04:01
LjLin countries with nearly zero covid04:01
de-factomaybe we should be happy that we once had nearly zero variants of concern in EU04:02
najari[m]ugh04:02
