GM added:
This is about how molnupiravir creates variants by accelerating virus evolution without killing the virus.
Strangely, Gauteng is one of the places where they tried it. This does not change the fact that this branch is very long and can be traced back to 2020. So if this is indeed a chronic infection, it may have started from there. But what if this is an HIV patient, and someone tries to cure the patient with the drug and eventually leads to mutagenesis? We will never know…
However, despite the strong opposition from many people in the group, the FDA approved it, and they pointed out these issues.
We are doing our best to help the virus…
The National Public Health Department stated that the COVID-19 Omicron variant appeared in the Netherlands nearly two weeks ago Australian Broadcasting Corporation (Kevin W). However, as General Motors pointed out:
What do I say, this is the B.1.1.X virus, there has been no B.1.1 for a long time; the closest sequence to this is June 2020.
Therefore, chronic infection is likely to have started more than a year ago.
Then sometime between August and September this year, it won the prize with the correct additional mutation, spread from there to others, and spread rapidly in South Africa since early October.
In other words, finding it in other countries before the first RSA sighting does not disprove that Omnicron originated from RSA, especially considering the timeline of early inferences and earlier B.1.1 sequencing.
Omicron covers various countries from the UK to Brazil with an ever-expanding spread Bloomberg
Pay attention to the date (guurst):
Monitoring the viral load of wastewater to estimate the scale of the outbreak
In just a few weeks, in Pretoria, South Africa (north of Johannesburg), the viral load detected in wastewater has reached a level similar to the Delta peak
This at least suggests that the spread may be very rapid pic.twitter.com/TxR7DxsOuA

According to a study on UK REACT data (blood tests performed on approximately 100,000 British patients every 5 weeks or so), we reported a long time ago that if it were not longer, the likelihood of elementary school students bringing Covid into it was that of adults 2 7 times for a family and older children. But no one wants to deal with the impact of children becoming disease vectors.
So far, every variant we have found has first spread disproportionately in schools and then to the community. At this point, the school is the first place where strict mitigation measures should be taken. We have made this mistake many times. I can’t believe we are going to do this again. https://t.co/8uOyHyFX1d

More in the “As We Say” category (see the rest of the thread);
In any case, from the perspective of evolutionary POV, the death of SARS2 affected a relatively small number of people. But more importantly, when you die of COVID, you died a few weeks after the spread of SARS2.
The virus may not care.

The big problem with cases in the UK being allowed *so high* is that we don’t have enough capacity to sequence (or genotype) all cases.
Sequencing capacity is approximately 50,000 per week
We have approximately 250,000 cases per weekSo we cannot determine all the cases (or possible cases) of Omicron. pic.twitter.com/3mmHb1xql9

Antidote of the day. I feel very guilty because I somehow missed the antidote sent by reader Kenneth M a long time ago. I hope he is still reading and seeing the following:
For the “Dear But Recently Left Pets” series, I recommend Mrs. Jayne. She is a rescued border collie/Australian shepherd hybrid. She enjoys life to the fullest and has never encountered squirrels or other animals that she would not chase.This is what she did a week ago, being a squirrel [evil tree rats!] She ran to the street and seduced her in front of an oncoming pickup, she instinctively chased it. I couldn’t help but sadly recall the line from “Blade Runner”: “The burning light is twice as bright, but it only burns for half the time-you burn very, very bright, Jayne.” rest in peace
