    1. WHO: COVID origins unclear but lab leak theory needs study
      GENEVA (AP) — Over two years after the coronavirus was first detected in China, and after at least 6.3 million deaths have been counted worldwide from the pandemic, the World Health Organization is recommending in its strongest terms yet that a deeper probe is required into whether a lab accident may be to blame.

    1. The pandemic’s true death toll: millions more than official counts
      from Adam, David
      Countries have reported some five million COVID-19 deaths in two years, but global excess deaths are estimated at double or even quadruple that figure.

    @geniusmusing I was just telling someone recently that the vaccines needed to be combined specifically because it is already too much hassle to juggle #coronavirus boosters and annual #influenza shots.
    My understanding is that the current flu vax sometimes doesn't protect much. It depends whether they pick the right strains. Unless they figure out how to cover a larger variety of strains.

    Rapid antigen tests have increase false negative rates versus the Omicron variant of #COVID-19 ... apparently, that strain of the #SARS-CoV-2 #coronavirus has a sufficiently different protein coat that tests show reduced sensitivity.

      Rapid COVID home tests are more likely to give a false negative with the heavily-mutated Omicron variant compared to earlier strains, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said Tuesday.

    Found a city-owned facility that offers #COVID-19 testing, so I'm going to head over there this morning. I think this is just a cold, but there are four people coming to the building tomorrow for a training class (despite it being closed due to the recent #coronavirus outbreak in #NYC) and I'm supposed to be there.

    As @bthall said when we were discussing it over Wire, it is super weird to have that exception to "the building is closed and no one is allowed on-site". But there it is.

      from Reuters
      Belgian researchers on Tuesday issued a pre-holiday warning against over-reliance on COVID-19 rapid antigen tests, saying they believed the breath of people infected with the disease had high levels of virus in the first two days after an infection -- a period when many antigen tests were negative.

    1. Counting the neurological cost of COVID-19 - Nature Reviews Neurology
      from Baig, Abdul Mannan
      The neurological deficits caused by COVID-19, which were first reported in the early months of 2020, continue to intrigue neurologists and health-care professionals worldwide. As two new studies highlight, these manifestations are frequent and are expected to increase the burden of morbidity and mortality in the acute and chronic phases of COVID-19.

    Remote profile options...
    If the #SARSCoV2 variant #Omicron (B.1.1.529) keeps its promise, then it will thwart the current vaccines. Booster innoculations may or may not increase resistance against this variant. But far more important is that if the variant indeed undercuts the vaccines, then, by the same token, it will evade detectibility by all current anti-gene tests. And that means that we cannot detect infections on time, and that means we're back at March 2020.

    Ron Unz ran from Pete Wilson's right, repeatedly blasting him for things like raising taxes and fees during a recession.

    With that in mind, I was prepared to read conspiracy theories about how the #coronavirus wasn't real, how it is less deadly than the flu, how the vaccines are absolutely the most dangerous thing every created, and how it is all a plot to replace our freedoms with a communist dictatorship headed by Mark Zuckerberg. I was pleasantly surprised that he's less driven by imaginary conspiracies and more by comparing results.

    #sonOne is trying to figure out what they’re going to do about school.

    #GD2’s school is still giving them the option of remote learning, but #GD1’s school is not … and not enforcing masking and not upgrading the ventilation system to help remove microbes and viruses. As the younger daughter is too young to be vaccinated, he is not desirous of having the older daughter bring #COVID-19 home and infect her sister.

    The disease itself is supposed to be milder with most younger patients, but there are reports of pretty serious post-COVID symptoms among under-10s.
