Trevor Bedford ✔ @trvrb I wanted to address the hypothesis put forward in Korber et al (https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.04.29.069054v1 …) that the mutation in spike protein D614G causes an increase in transmissibility of SARS-CoV-2 virus. I find this hypothesis to be plausible, but far from proven. 1/16 Spike mutation pipeline reveals the emergence of a more transmissible form of SARS-CoV-2 We have developed an analysis pipeline to facilitate real-time mutation tracking in SARS-CoV-2, focusing initially on the Spike (S) protein because it mediates infection of human cells and is the... biorxiv.org

The EU is hiding its culpability with France building the Lab in Wuhan where they were going to conduct research considered unethical in the EU, no doubt

Overall, I would refer everyone to
@edyong209
‘s piece on handling uncertainty during the pandemic (https://theatlantic.com/health/archive/2020/04/pandemic-confusing-uncertainty/610819/). I don’t agree with takes that there is “no evidence” that G is more transmissible. There is some evidence, but it’s far from conclusive. 15/16

Terrific!
Chart of positive testing results.
Most informative and up-to-date metric for progress against the virus.

The corona drunks on Facebook are using her as a champion. They think her hair cutting business will take off as soon as she gets out of jail.

Sweden is suicidal. They also dumped chicken poop in parks to keep people out of the parks. Apparently bird disease in fecal matter is of no concern.

Both the extreme left and right are exhibiting suicidal behavior. The extreme right is denying the virus is worse than the flu. Obviously wrong now. The left is denying medication just because Trump said it would work. Obviously wrong now.

San Francisco homeless quarantine...

https://twitter.com/RolandBakerIII/status/1258057837541904384

“I just found out that homeless placed in hotels in SF are being delivered Alcohol, Weed and Methadone because they identified as an addict/alcoholic for FREE. You’re supposed to be offering treatment. This is enabling and is wrong on many levels. @SF_DPH”

In our big cities (CT), one of the sources of vote fraud is to take blank absentee ballots to senior housing, fill it out for the elder, and then drop it in the mail for them.

The Democrats call it “getting out the vote”. :-(

My dentist and his assistants have worn simple surgical masks and gloves for decades.

He is a _very_ smart guy, so that tells me all I need to know on the subject.

Not just because he said it would work. Because it does work and they prefer the expensive remdesivir which is patented and from which a lot of money can be made—plus the coming vaccine, which will be the real wallet fattener.

Chris Martenson has made the point that the virology scientist community in China, Europe and the US has been playing Frankenstein games with genetics for many years.

They have a great gravy train going with .gov funds, and they will tell any lie to keep the funds flowing.

“IMO they are CCP agitators, liberals with extreme TDS, anarchists ready to throw off all laws, or they are ignorant. What they aren’t, are conservatives.”

Yeppers. And narcissistic, insouciant solipsist turds. Including the ones posting feel-good articles as cover.

Yea. If you’re quarantining addicts in hotels, you’re gonna have to supply them.

Little rural Mason Co., TX now has 26. Wonder if the Mayor cares it was all his fault because he couldn’t be bothered to stay home but went to the beach and came back to infect City Hall.

We had a drive thru testing at the hospital but it ended up being only for healthcare workers and bam! shut down immediately when the first sick person drove through. Funny, they said it was a person who’d traveled and never mentioned his work place.

Yes, and the big problem is that the lunatic fringe on both ends want to take the rest of the country down with them. I’d say PPE, social distancing, and treatments like HCQ and zinc will not individually solve the problem completely, but if used together (along with common sense), the virus can be managed and the country can get back on its feet. I guess the term is ‘holistic’ approach.
