Hmm, I wonder which thread suddenly has a bunch of flagged posts…

@MrWookie, @j8i3h289dn3x7, @churchill enough of this shit about US vs UK. You may have already run afoul of Tilted’s warning about this so silencings/bans may be in the cards once someone has time to go back through the thread.

Assigning equal blame to persons only posting published covid information and person/s deflecting this into chest beating UK vs US confrontation, whilst claiming information as falsehoods is absurd.
Some content may be hard to accept, but I’m not making the content. I was ripped on the minute OMGicron was mentioned and before it was even named.

Ready by March, approved by May?
Moderna could have Omicron vaccine ready by March
Moderna could have a Covid booster shot targeting the Omicron variant tested and ready to file for US authorisation as soon as March, the company’s president said on Wednesday.
Moderna President Stephen Hoge said he believes booster shots carrying genes specifically targeting mutations in the newly-discovered Omicron variant would be the quickest way to address any anticipated reductions in vaccine efficacy it may cause.
“We’ve already started that program,” he told Reuters.
The company is also working on a multi-valent vaccine that would include up to four different coronavirus variants including Omicron.
That could take several more months, he said.

Is this true (about the Spanish flu being the parent of all flus today)?
This article says something similar.

I had time, and guess what
See you in 2 weeks.

lol, no. Amazing how people can just post shit like this without being like “maybe I should skim a Wikipedia article first”.

Yeah, but I think the parallels aren’t great. The flu mutates way faster than COVID.
Thanks for posting, though I wish they had shown the data. Exactly what we discussed itt early in 2020. This is the type of experiment they should turn the filter on and off a few cycles and then take repeated air samples to show that x time after the filters run Y % of the airborne virus is removed.
If you get a data link please post that as well.
I’ve been trying to do selective ignore on the “debate” topics. Lots of rapid scrolling past those posts.

Is there data from the filtration work?
At this point I would assume that a simple particle count size analyzer would suffice. Get down the counts of the small droplets and probably eliminate large amounts of microrganisms.
I’m getting on a plane to Germany. It can wait.

My understanding is that nobody knows what Spanish flu was. They dont have samples. Just records of symptoms.
I don’t have time to reread this before my flight, but here is the link

I must have read something based on very old info.

I think it’s been thought for quite a while that delaying the second dose increases the immune response and makes it longer lasting. That doesn’t mean you should delay the second dose though if you can avoid it. The utility of getting that second does sooner and getting more protection faster during a COVId spike probably outweighs waiting, especially if boosters are going to be available.
Are there any areas anywhewre that aren’t extremely high community spread right now? Maybe the Far East and Australia/NZ but that’s about it.
