Fascinating thread from Ryan. Below is an explainer of what is likely going on with these v different looking variants, except in this new PJ case the chronically infected person seems to be continually transmitting infections that establish themselves in others. theconversation.com/the-emergenc...
Large upload from Ontario yesterday, providing some striking revelations about the evolution of PJ.2.1. First, there is yet another strikingly divergent branch of PJ.2.1. This isn't one variant: it's four. More and more, this resembles the emergence of BA.1/2/3. What is happening? 1/

My update on the hantavirus cruise ship outbreak The news has developed at pace, with significant case and genomic updates in the past few days What we know for sure: - This is not the next pandemic - Hantavirus is under researched - We need investment in public health agencies to keep us safe

Has the #WHO educated to the media and the public that given that #hantavirus is airborne, #Aerosol spread, and the only mask designed to stop aerosols is N95 masks or greater, and that a large supply of N95 mask should be airdropped on that ship? & used by those who came from it for a while?
