Contagious Viruses Explained: Transmission, Recognition, and Control Strategies

Viruses are made up of genetic material, either DNA or RNA, enclosed in a protein coat, and sometimes surrounded by a lipid envelope. They differ greatly in terms of shape, size, infection methods, and incubation periods. Prominent examples of contagious viruses include SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19), rhinoviruses (which cause the common cold), and influenza viruses, among others.

anyways yeah. sun has been having the worst time of her fucking life since she got kidnapped by starline. he wasn't as nice to her as he was to sonic, since he (correctly) assumed she doesn't have MCP (Main Character Protection) and thus can be tampered with more thoroughly.

so what's he do? well, he decides to be funny. after doing some research into snowpoint, he learns about their local legends, one of which speaks about a beast that wanders endlessly around the mountainside, looking for stray souls to gobble up. and he decides to create that. with sun.

i mean, it works out pretty well for him. this way, he can stop her from ruining everything, and he can also add an extra layer of protection to his "keep sonic in snowpoint" plan. cuz if anyone ever snapped out of it and DID try to leave the mountain, they'd soon find they couldn't. because sun would stop them.

It’s crowded in the library, but quiet. Several people seem to have gotten sick, their sounds from the bathrooms echo loudly.

And that’s nothing to speak of the stomach gurgles, belches and flatulence coming from, well, it seems like everyone.

Everyone is studying hard, but no one looks happy. In fact, nearly everyone looks a little pale and uncomfortable.

Most of the buildings (and their plumbing systems) on campus are historically old. The last thing we need is another widespread gastro event…

favorite slugcat? mine changes but currently its gourm (blame churro she infected me with the gourm virus /silly)

Currently my three favourites are Saint, Hunter and Arti.

(That means I’m giving them all tons of trauma bc that’s what I do to my favourite characters lmao)

my biggest fear for Gen V is that it’s going to suffer from extended universe syndrome in that nothing actually important can happen because it would effect the story of the boys

"being around gay people can't make you gay!" "autism isn't contagious!" "supportive of a community =/= being part of it" you say that but my dad adores lemon demon and is obsessed with hazbin hotel............ /j

welp one of the gourami is showing symptoms of iridovirus so im euthanizing it immediately. yay.

[blitany]

at this point i would rather just never place my trust in anyone ever again than keep being disappointed like this

[cryptablog]

And I'll go first with Yes. I have a respiratory issue and a possiblity to have my mothers whole fucking situation passed down at any moment.

I am also super allergic to dust an pollen to the point of becoming actually sick and contagious with something else.

I also find them comfortable. I dont have to change my expressions/ Masking (autism) is way easier with one on.

@4ger: you're not well enough to go anywhere. — PEARL STARTERS

' bollocks you say. I'M FINE. ' his head is throbbing, the rapid gallop of his spooked-horse-heart pulsing beneath his fingers as he pinches the sweat-slick bridge of his nose and tries to stop the world around him from spinning away. the spindly corners of his toy house totem dig into the meat of his palm, reassuringly solid, the photograph inside rustling softly as he tilts it; for a queasy moment, he doubts its certainty, almost does something stupid and asks eames to check it for him before rational thought reasserts itself with a swift kick.

he's never been the best about splitting dream from reality — even without twenty extra degrees spiking his temperature to dizzying fever heights and cooking his brain inside his skull. ( the newcastle projections have always seen to that. )

scarred fingertips squeeze harder against the inside curve of his orbitals until the swimming afterimages of that lovely thought blur into haze, cracking one red-rimmed eye open to scowl at the other forger. ' don't be a prick, eames. s'my job, and i'm gonna see it through. ' it's just a matter of professional pride, innit? not like he dreads what he'll see when he's too fucking still to STAY AWAKE. ' you gonna stand there and play nursemaid, or give me a lift? '

Here we are, heading into another COVID winter.  The fucker’s still here and sadly we aren’t likely to get rid of it any time soon.  You kill diseases by cutting off transmission and slowly strangling them to death.  We tried that.  We locked down the whole world and it didn’t work.

I won’t deny that things look really ugly right now, especially with other respiratory diseases coming back.  But as the sequencing results keep coming in, it’s really starting to look like something incredible happened.

Sure, the lockdowns didn’t succeed in killing COVID.  That doesn’t mean they killed nothing.

Hey, I wonder how the influenza viruses are holding up?

There are two types of influenza that cause the epidemics we get every winter: A and B.  (C and D don’t really get up to the same level of mischief so let’s ignore them for now.)  Type A infects both animals and people, and includes things like the H1N1 bird flu pandemic strain, swine flu, et al.  The H[number]N[number] format points out which subtype of two important viral proteins it has, and usually strains are reported with that code, what animal they jumped into humans from, and where they were first sequenced.  Type B only affects humans, especially children.  It doesn’t have subtypes like Type A.  Instead it has two distinct lineages: B/Victoria and B/Yamagata. 

Today’s best flu vaccines are called “quadrivalent” because they target B/Victoria, B/Yamagata, and our best guess at which two Type A’s are going to blow up this year.  The guess is based on global sequencing of flu infections, so we have at least a decent idea of both past and current circulation logged in databases like GISAID and the WHO’s FluNet. 

Cases went way down during the lockdowns - masking and social distancing pushed spread down to a fraction of what it usually is.  Influenza in general is now back in force as people go back to their normal behavior.  There’s plenty of Type A flying around.  There’s been B/Victoria.

B/Yamagata has not been conclusively identified since March of 2020.

As early as 2021, flu researchers noticed the lack of new B/Yamagata sequences coming in and started to suspect something was fishy.  Look at this graph of GISAID flu data by lineage:

[GISAID] [paper]

Let’s, uh, check FluNet maybe?  That shows that in a typical year you see tens of thousands of cases of B/Yamagata on PCR tests.  2017 had 30,552; 2018 had 51,524.  Then... 3,464 in 2019.  364 in 2020 in only 9 countries.  It does seem like there are still signs of life in 2021 with 8 hits, but keep in mind these detections are based on simple PCR tests like what we do for COVID.  PCR tests are exquisitely sensitive, to the point where it’s been shown that giving flu vaccines and then later using the same room to give flu tests can throw a weak positive by picking up viral RNA from the vaccine.  More specifically, as of March 2022 there’s been a case of this exact thing happening with what looked like a B/Yamagata detection.  So it’s going to be more reliable to look at only the results from full sequencing, where you can yeet anything that matches the vaccine ingredients and only look at wild viruses. 

[paper]

Zero.  Nothing.  All signs point to we shot at COVID and blew up an entire flu lineage as collateral damage!  What the fuck!  We’re probably going to have to change how we do flu vaccines because fully a quarter of what they aim at looks to be gone from the face of the earth!

True, influenza B/Yamagata could still be out there somewhere that hasn’t been sequenced.  Proving absence is hard.  But the fact that Type A and its sibling B/Victoria are back and easy to find really does suggest it’s gone, or stomped down so far it’s near impossible to find.  Time to watch and wait and feed every sample we can into the sequencers, but if we keep not finding it...

A disease is considered eradicated when we’re sure there’s no more transmission “in the wild”.  For smallpox, which was also wildly contagious and also had no nonhuman reservoir, that was three years from the last known case. 

Clock’s ticking.
