“Chan notes that at the start of the outbreak, Shi ‘initially wondered if the novel coronavirus had come from her laboratory,’…[but] leaves out the vital context that…in response to her worry, [Shi] went through the lab’s records to check if it could have been the source, and found that it couldn’t have been.”

FAIR · NYT Unleashes the Lab Leak Theory on the Public Debate Once AgainA Times guest essay recapitulates the misrepresentation, selective quotation and faulty logic that has characterized so much of the pro—lab leak side of the Covid origin discourse.

Die Eltern von Christian Drosten waren Landwirte. Er hat SARS-CoV1 (mit-)entdeckt und für beide CoV den Test entwickelt. Die Eltern (und andere Verwandte) von Hendrik Streeck waren/sind Professorïnnen (und ein SS-Funktionär). Er ist HIV-Experte, hat das Institut von Drosten übernommen und wollte sich dann als #SARS_CoV2 Messias feiern lassen. Und wer wurde von den konservativen/populistischen Parteien und Medien nach vorne gebracht? Na?

„ „Die Pandemie ist noch nicht vorbei“, sagte Scholz: „Sie wird kein Ende finden, wenn wir den Kreislauf, dass immer neue Mutanten zu immer neuen Infektionen auslösen, nicht endlich durchbrechen.“ Noch gäbe es „Lockdowns in China, nach wie vor hohe Infektionszahlen“ und „neue Virus-Varianten“.“

Berliner ZeitungScholz: „Pandemie ist noch nicht vorbei“By Michael Maier

Interessante Studie:
Ungeimpfte haben 48% öfter Verkehrsunfälle als Geimpfte.
Einer der wahrscheinlichen Gründe: Es handelt sich bei der Ablehnung öffentlich empfohlener Impfungen mehrheitlich um verantwortungslose, rücksichtslose und egoistische Menschen; dieses Verhalten führt in Folge auch im Strassenverkehr häufiger zu Unfällen.

The American Journal of MedicineCOVID Vaccine Hesitancy and Risk of a Traffic CrashCoronavirus disease (COVID) vaccine hesitancy is a reflection of psychology that might also contribute to traffic safety. We tested whether COVID vaccination was associated with the risks of a traffic crash.

"Die Zahl der #LongCovid-Fälle in Deutschland wird von einigen ExpertInnen sogar auf drei Millionen geschätzt, etwa zehn Prozent aller Coronafälle. Fachleute sind indes müde geworden über die genaue Zahl zu streiten"

"Saying we must learn to live with #Covid while having no plan whatsoever for how to do that undermines the legitimacy of those in positions of authority, and the phrase is, in the end, simply code for ‘we give up’ and ‘you are on your own."

Here's a recent study [pre-print] which looks at #PCR_Test results post #SARS_CoV2 and the link between positive PCR test and #COVID19 symptoms which you might find helpful.

www.preprints.orgSARS-CoV-2 PCR Persistence and Duration of COVID-19 Symptoms in Health ProfessionalsBackground and Objectives: Most individuals infected by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) are asymptomatic or have mild symptoms of COVID-19, which usually resolve after few days. Regardless of symptoms, infected people can transmit the virus to others especially on the first days of infection. Quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) is used to confirm SARS-CoV-2 infection; some individuals show persistent PCR-positivity after recovering from COVID-19. In this study, 12 individuals who showed persistence of COVID-19 symptoms and of SARS-CoV-2 PCR-positivity were followed-up. Methods: nasopharyngeal samples were collected for SARS-CoV-2 detection by RT-qPCR; clinical and epidemiological data were analyzed. Results: that persistence of SARS-CoV-2 PCR positivity was associated with duration of symptoms (rs 0.81338), which varied between one and 49 days, with 75% of the individuals reporting symptoms for more than two weeks; 83.33% of cases remained positive after two weeks of onset of symptoms, despite decreases in viral load. Conclusion: neither RT-qPCR test nor a symptom-based approach alone are sufficient to evaluate discontinuation of patient isolation; other factors such as viral loads and symptom severity should also be considered. Additional studies are needed to understand how RT-PCR-positivity is related to symptoms and the risk of viral transmission, and to better support isolation guidelines.
