      Yep there's the usual hedging by experts designed for the benefit of the dumbest among us for liability protection but they have gone well beyond that during this pandemic. Too many are trying to influence people's thoughts as well as actions by constantly saying we won't know anything for quite some time. They know plenty about this virus and the things discussed among the experts and elites behind closed doors and the personal protocols they employ are going to be different than the sanitized, processed and limited information given to the public as well as access to certain treatments and preventative measures. I'm glad professor Gruber of MIT got caught explaining their methods as well as their beliefs about the American public during the ACA scandal.

    Hank is absolutely right that T cell immunity only refers to T cells activating and exerting an immune response to the coronavirus. This doesn’t necessarily imply that people are immune to it though. If that was the case, authors of these studies would use the term “T cell-mediated protection” or something to that effect. A vaccine will need to elicit a protective immune response for it to be effective. It’s useful to know that T cells react to coronavirus, even in people who haven’t been exposed to it, but until we have clinical data we won’t know if this response is protective or not.

      Not quite true, imo. "Something interesting can travel halfway around the world while something boring is putting on its shoes."
      There can be truth that is really interesting that will spread fast. Unfortunately you might get 'Chinese Whispers' with what's being spread, such that it becomes a lie, but I think it's interesting information is what spreads fast - regardless of whether it's truth or fiction.

      Which sounds horribly optimistic to 21st century readers. Until one considers that Samuel Clemens lived before Twitter, before the Internet, before widespread radio, before widespread telephone, before widespread audio recording, before movies...
      Though, the quote appears to have originated elsewhere and elsewhen than from Mark Twain.
      Edit: Though I haven't found the specifics, the most agreed upon (that I've seen) origin of the quote is from Jonathan Swift (1667-1745).

    • @cloudpoint0
      @cloudpoint0 3 года назад +1

      The R value or R number is the reproductive number at any point in time. Once herd immunity is achieved the R number should drop to almost zero. An R number of 2 means each new infection goes on to infect two more people that are not yet immune or protected. The UK R number of 1 to 1.2 must be for at this point in time, taking into account social distancing, masks, etc.
      The initial reproductive number or “R naught” (R0) is more interesting. This is the R number when the virus encounters a virgin population with no prior immunity and they are not yet taking any precautions. It is a worst case and it can only go down from here. It tells us how fast the initial spread can be. Accurate R0 numbers are difficult to ascertain.
      *R0 (initial reproductive number) of some pandemics and major diseases*
      • 1918 Spanish Flu (H1N1) R0=2.4 to 5.4 (or between 1.4 and 2.8 by some estimates)
      • 1957-58 Asian Flu (H2N2) R0=1.8 (or 1.08-1.11)
      • 1969-69 Hong Kong Flu (H3N2) R0=1.06-2.06 for the first wave and 1.21-3.58 for the second wave
      • 1983-to-now AIDS untreated (HIV) R0=3.4
      • 2002-03 SARS (SARS-CoV-1) R0=0.19-1.08 (or between 2 to 5 by some estimates)
      • 2009 Swine Flu (H1N1-09, likely the same variant as 1918) R0=1.47 (between 1.4 and 1.6)
      • 2013 Avian Flu (H7N9) R0=0.03 to 0.4
      • 2013-16 Ebola Virus Disease (Ebola) R0=1.3 to 1.8
      • 2014 MERS (MERS-CoV) R0=0.45 to 3.9
      • 2020 COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) R0=2 to 3 (possibly as high as 5.7)
      • Seasonal Flu (influenza A and B, e.g. H1N1, H2N2, H3N2, H5N1 variants) averages about 1.2 now but has an R0 of 2 to 3 depending on the specific virus variant
      • Common Cold (multiple viruses, especially rhinoviruses but includes some coronaviruses) R0 is around 6
      • For comparison, the R0 of Measles is 12 to 18, Malaria is 16, Chicken Pox is 8.4, Small Pox is 6, Dengue Fever is 5, Cholera is 2 and Bubonic Plague is 1.

      Corwin Weber Even then, as said in the video, it is very difficult (in some cases even impossible) to induce reaction of the immune system with just in vitro data of a single cell group. You’d need to volunteer your person for testing (there are multiple groups internationally who volunteer for vaccine testing with direct pathogen exposition)
      A “safe” option by just donating cells would 1) take very long to establish (as you’d need immortalised cell lines for extended research), 2) be very hard to derive general data applicable to the entire system from and 3) thus not very productive
      Nevertheless, there may be novel approaches dealing with this experimental setting

    I actually have a question on a kind of related theme, the over/under reaction of our immune system. People on immunosuppressant medications were on the verge of dropping their treatments because of COVID-19, but then some of those folks really got the virus and, surprisingly enough, they got somewhat less damage from known immune havoc like pneumonia than people with not regulated immune systems. No mentions about other problems that are suspected to emerge from COVID-19, though. That information was from a conversation with a neurologist, it would be great if you could find some more info for us. Cheers!

      There’s a wide range of problems with our immune systems for all sorts of things. Some years ago, I had a nasty problem when a chunk of bone which had been temporarily removed, then reinstated, turned out to be infected by a bacterium (staph aureus in this case). On account of it being physically disconnected from my main blood stream, the bacteria was warmed up to normal temp and inaccessible, so my main system was completely screwed up, wouldn’t do normal blood clots for other minor injuries etc.
      In the longer term, the infected bone, and a bit more, were removed again (and destroyed ), and followed by an aggressive antibiotic (intravenous, 2g every 6 hours for 14 days), then when things had settled down it was replaced by an artificial plastic structure, manufactured specially in line with older x-ray images, in effect.

    In late Feb 2020, my husband was on a plane, had a guys weekend, some got sick or had symptoms, before we knew about coronavirus. I was not home for the five days after he came home. After the news broke, we joked, for maybe he had built anitbodies. BUT He was diagnosed with a fast-growing rare T Cell lymphoma by July (over by his left armpit). So Im wondering about the opposite cross-reactivity instead of what is out there and talked about - rather, could the virus and it's tcell relationship cause a tcell reaction and result in ALCL? My husband up to this point was a Hodgkin's Lymphoma survivor from 15 years ago. This time it was completely baffling - no symptoms. Looking to contact researchers to see if they've thought of this angle and to see if there's been research in this or any rise in Tcell lymphomas since covid-19.
    Thanks for any help,
    Kind regards.

      If the video means always asymptomatic, the current thinking is 16% nationally. If pre-symptomatic people are included in this percentage, well, all infected people are this for a couple days or more so I’m not sure how to count them. It would depend on whether an outbreak was active at the time of counting. In some institutions like prisons, the asymptomatic group has been found to be 95% of the infected population. It might be that another seasonal coronavirus made its way through the prison population somewhat earlier conferring partial immunity against COVID-19.

      "Asymptomatic" means you do get infected, but experience no or few symptoms. You got that part right. But the virus likely is not replicating or not replicating very much or you would be symptomatic. Do you think your lungs can just indefinitely fill with puss and not show any symptoms of being sick?

      What you say is not true now although earlier studies thought this was the case. Knowledge grows. I think it is actually rather logical that a person who is not sneezing, coughing, etc. will shed very few virus droplets, or maybe even no virus droplets if their infection is not in their respiratory tract or it is deep inside their lungs where little or no air is being exchanged.
      The proportion of people that remain asymptomatic after infection is now thought to be 16% (down from about 40%) and about 27% among children. This is true at least in large UK studies per Dr. John Campbell at the link below. This percentage can vary greatly among smaller populations. 95% was reported in one American prison system. Researchers might have been seeing transmissions from pre-symptomatic people in the first studies without discerning them from asymptomatic people. Pre-symptomatic people can definitely transmit the virus during the last couple days of their six-day incubation period and for a week or so beyond (typically).
      ruclips.net/video/dbtPshdK1Kw/видео.html
      “Asymptomatic transmission refers to transmission of the virus from a person, who does not develop symptoms [ever]. There are few reports of laboratory-confirmed cases who are truly asymptomatic, and to date, there has been no documented asymptomatic transmission. This does not exclude the possibility that it may occur. Asymptomatic cases have been reported as part of contact tracing efforts in some countries. WHO regularly monitors all emerging evidence about this critical topic and will provide an update as more information becomes available.” - The WHO back in April
      www.who.int/docs/default-source/coronaviruse/situation-reports/20200402-sitrep-73-Covid-19.pdf
      The viral load is very important in terms of whether you can infect someone. The RT PCR test picks up viral loads starting from 100 pieces of RNA debris. That’s when the test says you are positive. At 5000 pieces you are still not infectious. Even at 50,000 pieces you are still not infectious. In theory you might be slightly infectious at 1,000,000 pieces of RNA but this is not likely. You don’t really become infectious, at least in a way that’s a risk to others, until you measure 3,000,000 pieces of RNA in a nasal or throat swap. You still aren’t guaranteed to pass on the SARS-CoV-2 virus even at this high level. [It's hard to count actual viruses so they count something easier instead.] There’s a big difference between being infected and being infectious. Asymptomatic people likely don’t meet the infectious threshold although they are definitely infected. Or at least they are less infectious. The CDC seems to agree with this view now.
      *CDC quietly revises coronavirus guidance to downplay importance of testing for asymptomatic people*
      The CDC is now calling *asymptomatic* infected individuals “healthy people”. The updated guidance also removed a line on the importance of testing and surveillance to the U.S. national response plan. Testing isn’t all that important, it now seems. They are discouraging general testing and asking to focus testing on certain groups. By this update they are implicitly acknowledging that asymptomatic individuals are not a major cause of the virus spreading. This is more-or-less what the WHO have always said.
      “The updated Guidance places an emphasis on testing individuals with symptomatic illness, those with a significant exposure or for vulnerable populations, including residents and staff in nursing homes or long term care facilities, critical infrastructure workers, healthcare workers and first responders, and those individuals (who may be asymptomatic) when prioritized by public health officials.” - The CDC
