Хроники Попокалипсиса (COVID-19, science, EN +)

Учёные продолжают радовать. Появились сообщения, что вирус поражает клетки, производящие инсулин. Также идут подтверждения о том, что мутация D614G сделала вирус более заразным. Перспективы вакцин тоже выглядят всё более неоднозначно.

Вчера вышло важное исследование о характеристиках 37 бессимптомных инфекций COVID-19 из Ухани. Пациенты были выявлены путем скрининга близких контактов пациентов; авторы сделали все возможное, чтобы исключить слабо симптоматические инфекции. Одним из основных выводов этой статьи является то, что бессимптомные пациенты «выделяют вирус» дольше (в среднем 19 дней), чем пациенты с симптомами.

Это заслуживает предостережения: «вирус скрытый» в данном случае означает положительный результат теста через мазок из носа с помощью ОТ-ПЦР. Мы не знаем наверняка, что это "живой" вирус. Более половины пациентов, которые были классифицированы как бессимптомные из-за отсутствия каких-либо видимых симптомов, показали нарушения, отображенные на КТ легких, что указывает на возможное повреждение даже у этих пациентов.

"Very few healthcare providers had IgG antibodies to SARS-CoV-2, though a significant proportion of them had been infected with the virus. After SARS-CoV-2 infection, people are unlikely to produce long-lasting protective antibodies against this virus."

По итогам эпидемии мы узнаем много интересного.

Вторая волна, конечно, началась. (Некоторые говорят, что это просто хвост первой, а вторая придёт осенью.) Думаю, бессимптомных будут стараться не выявлять. Мало кому хочется обратно на карантины. Однако, реанимации в Израиле уже почувствовали последствия Рамадана. В Штатах результаты борьбы с расизмом уже видны, но ещё не проникли в группы риска и силы компьютерного моделирования брошены на то, чтобы показать социальную сознательность вируса.

Посмотрим, насколько хорошо получится.

Мимо пробежало обсуждение системы правосудия. Процитирую поучительные места.

Kara Witkowski

Yes, these are REAL court transcripts from my case.

When I asked Judge Dalton to explain how a known pedophile and admitted rapist was given custody of my children, he blatantly said "I decline"

Kane County Judicial Court put my children purposely in danger and then cannot even come up with a reason as to why.

Denying wrongdoing will still convince some like-minded individuals that there is a shadow of doubt that you are lying. It’s much easier to live a lie than it is to accept the ugly truth for most minions.

Stephanie Suzanne

same thing happened to me. The same judge Danton was in my case. He ordered me out of the court room during testimony against me which is unconstitutionaand then he lied about it and asked if we have any court transcripts to prove that! Smh

Jacob Mitchell

I fought the system, tried getting the judge removed from the bench, only succeeded in getting him recused. Got a emergency order from another court, for it i was thrown in jail, starved, and my child abducted from the jurisdiction of the protecting court by her abuser, and they say that is justice. I got civil rights activist involved, petitions, and media coverage and the judge is still on the bench.

Kara...i went through this hell with my oldest two children. It took years... but the judge was fired and cps was investigated and all the higher ups were fired. Stay strong.

Stephanie Suzanne

that’s amazing was your story covered in newspaper??

Jenni Lynn Anthony

ha....god no! The judge was the daughter of the chief judge of the court of special appeals. the actual building is dedicated to the judges father. They very very quietly went in... gave her a "mandatory retirement" she was forced to resign from a race to be elected for a second term as circuit court judge... and she disappeared. The cps supervisors and investigators were fired immediately the week after the judge put in her retirement. The clerk of court "retired" and they had to put the assistant in his place until the next election. It was a hot mess but they neatly found ways to cover it up and keep it from the spot light. Small town politics at its finest.

I wouldnt stop though. I went to the fbi... the governor... the attorney general,.. commission on judicial disabilities... attorney grievance commission, every person i could write...i did. And eventually got results.

Jules Cosar

I am on my 4th attorney & praying to GOD I get my other child
whose only 5 yrs old home soon.

Jenni Lynn Anthony

my heart goes out to you. I know how it feels when it's beyond hopeless. Just remember... you're the only advocate they have and you must keep fighting.

PS. I NEVER GOT any results with the 5 attorneys i had. I taught myself the law and i fought on my own and only then did i make progress. The more you know... the more you can counter act the injustice.
