I'm now up to the sleeves, and winding a batch of yarn to do both in the same thing, because I like the look that Stephen West did with his. Had a crisis of confidence in the sizing, but figure that adding large edgings will be a good look, and add the sizing/length/goodness that I'm after.
Quick test knitting of noro sock yarn, 2 x kidsilk haze, 3 x tapestry workshop wools is delivering lusciousness. Now to wind whilst watching #anthonybourdain

Penguono from Stephen West.
Knitting with a pile of Noro + Cracksilk haze aka Rowan's Kidsilk Haze + others
2020: purchased the yarn via the free internet kindly offered by the 4 star hotel I was quarantined in, in Sydney, where I was one of the first. I didn't find any Noro in Japan, so made up for it by ordering by the bag from Seattle Knits in Seattle, who had a lovely convo with me over the phone. Super fun knit 🧶

No other #disease we track has no times of the year where there are zero or near-zero test positivity. #Flu has an off season. #RSV and #Noro and cold #viruses do too. #Covid circulates between very high and upper-low levels year round. Why are our #governments happy to treat the first graph just like the second graph?

Une semaine commémorative pour les 10 ans du la mort de Masamichi #Noro Sensei, fondateur du #kinomichi, disciple direct du fondateur de l’#Aïkido Morihei Ueshiba Sensei. Si les techniques de Kinomichi proviennent de l’Aikido, le Kinomichi privilégie un rapport au corps dans un contact apaisé comme dans l’#Eutonie, le #Feldenkrais, le #Taïchi ou le #Qigong. Le Kinomichi œuvre ainsi pour l’enracinement, l’ouverture et la construction mutuelle des partenaires.

Good Afternoon SARS2PAians!
1/2 for Sept. 9th, 2024
I hope you are having a healthy and productive late summer!☀️
__________
VOCsThe national mutation leaderboard hasn't changed much.: https://ibb.co/LP1L4LZ
There are no new mutations that are on the far horizon that can compete with KP.3.1.1 so far.
The closest competitor is the recombinant XEC, a combo of KS.1.1 and KP.3.1, and is maybe almost equally as fast as what we have now.
We have XEC already in PA.: https://ibb.co/JpnYfcJ
The good news is XEC, as I mentioned last time, has only 2 spike mutations different from KP.3.1.1, so any immunity granted against KP.x.y will also work very well against XEC.
Actually, the current versions are pretty stagnant. Stagnation is good as it gives us a breather, but it's also what happened between XBB and JN.1/KP.x.y.: https://ibb.co/BCqrTFN
Thanks to variant hunters, who constantly monitor virus genetics and then estimate growth rates (and some of which are not even paid to do this for us), we will have a few weeks to a month or two of any incoming fast, binding, or immune-evasive mutations.
Keep watching that space. It's important, especially as winter approaches.

WastewaterWastewaterSCAN still has our region at HIGH levels of SARS2.: https://ibb.co/wRCwRkK
Chester's numbers are not low, but much more manageable than in other areas. Harrisburg is doing much better as numbers keep going down there! Good work Hburg!: https://ibb.co/Pm9kF4H
Our region's numbers are going down after a peak already. This is a relief. We are still the HHS region with the lowest numbers.: https://ibb.co/3zcRKJL
PA, after quite a sizeable spike, is VERy quickly returning to numbers way below national average and more on par with the rest of the region.: https://ibb.co/VtVxDYX
We're doing something right. 💪
But remember, numbers are still in the moderate to HIGH range, so please keep working on source control.
According to CDC, there is NO state right now having anything less than "moderate" wastewater levels. Clearly this is defintely NOT a best-case scenario going into Fall.
Existing immune deficiency due to previous reinfections (and first time infections!) and already very high virus spread might make for quite a high-maintenance Fall and Winter this year.

Kits, vaxes, etc.Reminder that you can get 4 Federally funded tests kits by mail at the end of this month. Don't miss it!!
Covidtests.gov: https://aspr.hhs.gov/covid-19/test/Pages/default.aspx
There's also a tool from Vaccines.gov to find an mRNA KP.2 vaccination near you!!!
🔴Also reminder: if you have an uncomfortably strong reaction to mRNA vaccines, please do give Novavax a try. It's protein-based, and formulated much like a traditional tetanus shot, rather than mRNA.
https://us.novavaxcovidvaccine.com/find-a-vaccine
I am not in any way paid to promote Novavax. And I'm not the company President, but...I am in fact a client 😎
If you are unable to get Novavax, PLEASE.....get something.
🔴And gooooooo get a FLU SHOT too if you are able!
__________
Other Pathogens:coronavirus: H5N1
There was a first case already of H5N1 infection in a person in Missouri, NOT linked, so far, to animal contact and not farm related.
https://www.cnn.com/2024/09/06/health/first-human-case-of-bird-flu-not-linked-to-animals/index.html
This is the current picture for H5N1. Found in 14 states.: https://ibb.co/pfrFxtT
This is ...pretty bad. This is getting progressively...kinda bad.
🔴Please DO NOT consume raw dairy products: raw eggs, undercooked/rare meat, unpasteurized dairy. Dippy eggs. Raw egg-based cookie dough. Just don't.
🔴Use extra caution with animals like rodents in your home, especially if you have to deal with them after they're trapped.
🔴Keep your cats indoors and dogs away from prey. H5N1 has a super-high kill rate especially in cats.
Stock up NOW on a few N95s (you will NOT want less than a genuine N95 for this thing), gloves, and MERV-13 filters for those CR boxes.
CDC can repeat "risk assessment low" all they want, we should NOT be screwing around with something than has an estimated baseline 20% kill rate, which is the reason I spend so much time on this subject in a SARS2 forum.
The current genetics of H5N1 is not scary, but giving this thing more chances to hit the lottery is the worst thing we could be doing now.
🔴Again: H5N1 cannot combine with the pathogen that causes COVID19, because one is a SARS and the other is an influenza. They are way too different from each other. But it CAN combine with influenza A and B....and we are entering that season soon.
We can do the best things in preparation NOW for a worst case scenario which means building up some basic PPE at home, avoiding exposure. Prepare =/= panic.
Please stay safe this coming Fall and keep that source control down!

🔴1/2 Sept/2/2024
I hope you're having a GREAT late summer. ☀️
There's not much going on that is new right now in VOC land. Top variants are still KP.3, descendats of JN.1.
KP.3 is FAST. Super fast. It's like a heat-seeking missle, getting a lot of people that have never had COVID before, for the first time.
Including me 🙄 which is why I didn't post last week. I apologize yet again.
__________
My stuff (should you for some weird reason be curious)I tested + almost a week and a half ago and am STILL testing positive. I am doing everything possible to not give this thing air. I'm wearing an N95 outside all the time now and only going out if it's necessary. I have 2 Corsi-Rosenthal boxes that go every moment I'm home to protect my pets. I'm feeling OK but not 100%...maybe 75%.
I am determined to keep testing every day as long as it's financially doable.
I'm monitoring my symptoms, both acute, long term, and especially cognitive (most scary and hardest to tell) for any further changes.
I think I have Novavax (I am not paid to write this, I wish I was 🙄) to thank for not being worse than this because it's been clinically proven to grant extra protection to upper respiratory passages, which is ground zero for where SARS2 enters the body...(at least against the older variants).: https://ibb.co/1fCjZvr
BA.5 Study Link: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10451060/
AGAIN...if you have an uncomfortably strong reaction to mRNA, please give Novavax a try as overall, it's been proven to cause fewer side effects AND be more cross-protective between current mutations.
But if you do not have access to Novavax...Please. Get something.
__________
XECAs far as XEC (which is a recombinant of KP.3.3 and KS.1), it's still being monitored for spread as it's the only thing that can possibly even keep up with KP.3.x.y now.
The good thing is, it has a difference of only two spike changes from KP.3.1.1 (the top variant blazing around now) so vaccines will protect VERY well against it, too.: https://ibb.co/9yfCqFc
Both Novavax (JN.1 formula, the "trunk" of the current top variant tree) and mRNA (KP.2 formula, a "branch" of the tree that most closely resembles current variants) are very good matches to the top variants going around and they're all out for scheduling right now.: https://ibb.co/1RFn3HF
:canparrot: GO GET VAXED! (...and for flu, too!)
Also get those 4 Federally-funded test kits through the mail when they're available in late September!: https://aspr.hhs.gov/covid-19/test/Pages/default.aspx
__________
WastewaterWastewater numbers are still VERY HIGH according to CDC and WastewaterSCAN nationally.: https://ibb.co/Wx4jyKy
PA's wastewater numbers continue to rise:https://ibb.co/QPfQvmK
...while the rest of the HHS regions' numbers have seemingly hit peak. According to CDC we've been bumped up to the VERY HIGH slot.: https://ibb.co/QczqW3m
Harrisburg is again getting hit really hard with viral spread, being at the top in wasteewater right now out of HHS Region 3. Please stay safe and wear a quality well-fitting respirator in crowded areas or places with suboptimal ventilation!

Good Morning SARS2PAians!!
I apologize for not typing up a thing for you all on Friday, I got caught up in family stuff. I hope you had a GREAT and SAFE weekend!!
:canparrot:__________
VOCsNationally, JN.1 still at a solid >40% of randomly sequenced samples.: https://ibb.co/s9rZzPq
KP.2 is the next variant to watch and has already had some FAST gains in the past few days.
in PA, both JN.1.16 and KP.2 have already been sequenced here. Control the spread of these potentiall troublesome two mutations by employing SOME form of source control!: https://ibb.co/rtKWn48
in NY/NJ, JN.1 and JN.1.4 at the top as usual but KP.2 already at 1.31% of random sequencing.: https://ibb.co/XDTdCJ8
__________
Lineage NewsWhile other lineages with lab-estimated growth did not seem to contribute to the leaderboard as much as JN.1 continues to do that, its descendant KP.2 is showing extremely fast growth both in lab estimates (with a high confidence level, so this lab data will probably translate more readily into real-world trouble) AND in actual numbers of sequences found.: https://ibb.co/3kyD7Bc
It still has a bonkers high growth advantage rate considering genetics alone and has moved quickly up a couple ranks in actual practice, on the sequencing leaderboard already.
It'll definitely be one to watch.
__________
WastewaterNationally, COVID levels continue to decline in wastewater. This will only get better once these cold snaps are done! We're still at a point where we're very high compared to previous years, though.: https://ibb.co/DY8LNMB
Previous years comparison: https://ibb.co/pw8WLjH
Regionally, all regions are declining in found SARS2 material in wastewater. We are still at the highest concentration in the Northeast compared to everyone else, though.: https://ibb.co/8sj4BpS
In PA, Chester Co. is SMASHING IT and levels are absolutely tanking for now! But Bucks, Luzerne, and Lackawanna's levels are still a bit above naitonal averages. Use source control to improve this data point!: https://ibb.co/s65h3yG
__________
CDCThe New Hospital Admits map is showing significant increases in Juniata Co. curving down to Somerset Co and Bedford Co., and also over in Lawrence Co. The rest of the map is pretty good, with overwhelmingly reductions in hospital admits in most counties!: https://ibb.co/sKnLV5X
Staffed Inpatient Beds are showing significant increases in Juniata, Mifflin, Huntingdon and Elk Cos with the rest of our counties stable or slightly decreasing.: https://ibb.co/Yyj4MRr
Quite a lot of ICU bed use increases. From Greene at the southweasternmost corner, all the way diagonally up to Bradford and Susquehanna Cos, increasing levels all the way. Don't be this statistic, folks. Get those XBB/flu/etc. shots.: https://ibb.co/LYkXcKJ
Sadly there have been 1,064 COVID deaths in PA in the last three months and while this number has gone down a bit since last time I posted this, our state remains in the highest category of the 3 month data cycle.: https://ibb.co/8m5SDBY
__________
Non-SARS2 PathogensWell, if you want to stick around to read this, I'll post this part up last.
While SARS2/COVID continues to steadily decline, the one pathogen that's still at quite a staggeringly high rate is Norovirus, the "24-hour stomach bug".
Levels of this are still EXTREMELY high, and are slow to start going down, as they had around this time last year.: https://ibb.co/Kqny3QJ
PLEASE WASH HANDS with soap and water. Hand sanitizer is not enough. Norovirus is extremely resistant to alcohol and heat sterilization due to a tough "shell" surrounding the virions.
You MUST wah hands with warm water and soap for 20 seconds to actively contribute to controlling Norovirus.
Wash fruits and veg before you eat them, even if you don't eat the peel (example: clementines, oranges, and grapefruit.)
Don't serve or prepare food if you are sick!
This thing is just gross. 🤢 Make sure everything's clean before you sit down to eat!
Using source control will make numbers for ALL pathogens go downward so we have a healthy (and not gross) Spring! 💐💐💐

Lineage NewsWhile other lineages with lab-estimated growth did not seem to contribute to the leaderboard as much as JN.1 continues to do that, its descendant KP.2 is showing extremely fast growth both in lab estimates (with a high confidence level, so this lab data will probably translate more readily into real-world trouble) AND in actual numbers of sequences found.: https://ibb.co/3kyD7Bc
It still has a bonkers high growth advantage rate considering genetics alone and has moved quickly up a couple ranks in actual practice, on the sequencing leaderboard already.
It'll definitely be one to watch.
__________
WastewaterNationally, COVID levels continue to decline in wastewater. This will only get better once these cold snaps are done! We're still at a point where we're very high compared to previous years, though.: https://ibb.co/DY8LNMB
Previous years comparison: https://ibb.co/pw8WLjH
Regionally, all regions are declining in found SARS2 material in wastewater. We are still at the highest concentration in the Northeast compared to everyone else, though.: https://ibb.co/8sj4BpS
In PA, Chester Co. is SMASHING IT and levels are absolutely tanking for now! But Bucks, Luzerne, and Lackawanna's levels are still a bit above naitonal averages. Use source control to improve this data point!: https://ibb.co/s65h3yG
__________
CDCThe New Hospital Admits map is showing significant increases in Juniata Co. curving down to Somerset Co and Bedford Co., and also over in Lawrence Co. The rest of the map is pretty good, with overwhelmingly reductions in hospital admits in most counties!: https://ibb.co/sKnLV5X
Staffed Inpatient Beds are showing significant increases in Juniata, Mifflin, Huntingdon and Elk Cos with the rest of our counties stable or slightly decreasing.: https://ibb.co/Yyj4MRr
Quite a lot of ICU bed use increases. From Greene at the southweasternmost corner, all the way diagonally up to Bradford and Susquehanna Cos, increasing levels all the way. Don't be this statistic, folks. Get those XBB/flu/etc. shots.: https://ibb.co/LYkXcKJ
Sadly there have been 1,064 COVID deaths in PA in the last three months and while this number has gone down a bit since last time I posted this, our state remains in the highest category of the 3 month data cycle.: https://ibb.co/8m5SDBY
__________
Non-SARS2 PathogensWell, if you want to stick around to read this, I'll post this part up last.
While SARS2/COVID continues to steadily decline, the one pathogen that's still at quite a staggeringly high rate is Norovirus, the "24-hour stomach bug".
Levels of this are still EXTREMELY high, and are slow to start going down, as they had around this time last year.: https://ibb.co/Kqny3QJ
PLEASE WASH HANDS with soap and water. Hand sanitizer is not enough. Norovirus is extremely resistant to alcohol and heat sterilization due to a tough "shell" surrounding the virions.
You MUST wah hands with warm water and soap for 20 seconds to actively contribute to controlling Norovirus.
Wash fruits and veg before you eat them, even if you don't eat the peel (example: clementines, oranges, and grapefruit.)
Don't serve or prepare food if you are sick!
This thing is just gross. 🤢 Make sure everything's clean before you sit down to eat!
Using source control will make numbers for ALL pathogens go downward so we have a healthy (and not gross) Spring! 💐💐💐

Good Afternoon SARS2PAians!!
I hope your stuff stayed in place with all that wind out there!
There's no new wastewater data today.
Lineage News
JN.1.x.y continues to dominate the national leaderboard.
There are a few variants to watch for future activity, including KQ.1, KP.2, KP.1.1 and KR.1, all grandchildren of JN.1.: https://ibb.co/j800SF3
JN.1.16 is also proving pretty darn fast. Pennsylvania already has had samples of JN.1.16 submitted.: https://ibb.co/qdDB3qF
Some of them have already gotten "above the fold" nationally. KP.2 and KP.1.1 are already in the top half of variants. JN.1.11.1 is still around at sizeable levels.: https://ibb.co/zSnSp9N
XDP is a recombination of JN.1.4 and FL.15 (descendant of XBB.1.9.1).
__________
CDCIn spite of lower infection numbers, there seems to have been a lot of emergency cases filtering through the medical system since last update.
New Hospital Admits substantially increased in Central PA from Lycoming Co. aaaaall the way over to Venango Co., and also from York on the southern border to Fulton Co.: https://ibb.co/FqJQtfS
Staffed inpatient beds steady through the State except for Lawrence and around McKean Cos.: https://ibb.co/ZGzv578
ICU bed use increased significantly in Lawrence, in Vanango aaaaaalll on up to the northern border and over to Tioga, and around Luzerne Co.: https://ibb.co/7N3Tzq5
CDC At-a-Glance has test positivity, hospital admits, ED visits and deaths trending stradily downward so far though.: https://ibb.co/x3MtrNP
__________
Non-SARS2 stuffSARS2 has actually been downgraded on WastewaterSCAN to "medium" spread!: https://ibb.co/Cz4PQmk
NonSARS2 pathogens are still just demolishing us.
Most respiratory stuff is still high except COVID/SARS2. RSV, FluA, FluB, are all HIGH still. Parainfluenza is now HIGH.
The gastro stuff, Norovirus and Rotavirus, is still crazy HIGH. Noro is still rising in Chester Co.
:ms_arrow_right: Noro is very resistant to heat and hand sanitizer! You MUST wash hands with warm water and soap for 20 seconds to reduce your chances of spreading noro! :catjam:
That's all I have for this week, PA. Keep close watch of that air quality and wash hands so we can have an AWESOME and healthy Spring! 💐💐💐

Update for 3/8/2024!
Good Morning SARS2PAiains!!
I hope you're ready for that time change on Sunday! 🕐🕐🕐
This is a wonderfully short update. I mean, it doesn't look short, but it kinda is. 🤪
There's no new CDC stuff.
There are no new wastewater updates and we are continuing to approach lower levels of previous years as spring gets closer.: https://ibb.co/QfPr8NJ
__________
Lineage NewsThere's no new immediate variant news as JN.1 is still the only thing all over the place so far.
There are some new varaints being watched as JN.1 (and specifically JN.1.11) seems really capable of producing descendants that worry virologists:
❗️JN.1.16: Concerningly infectious even over very wide areas in China; Lots of this currently being uploaded from what I gather in USA too, already in 9 states.
❗KP.1.1 (which is JN.1.11.1.1.1): this has a potential nuts-level of growth rate going by genetics alone.
❗KP.2 (which is JN.1.11.1.2): seems closely related to JN.1.16 that I was, in my very very unprofessional opinion, concerned about last update.
❗KP.2.1: widespread already in East Asia.
KP.x.y has an extraordinary growth rate only considering mutations but we'll see how any of this checks out in actual biological results.
__________
NON SARS PATHOGENSThere is still a very high amount of total pathogens all around.: https://ibb.co/3sxWQ3C
Respiratory pathogens are still high according to WastewaterSCAN:
❗SARS2
❗RSV
❗Flu A
❗Flu B
❗Parainfluenza, which has been upgraded to HIGH since last update.
Gastro stuff is still very high too!:
❗Norovirus
❗Rotavirus
Noro is thankfully declining at UPark but still in the very high range.: https://ibb.co/CMSGsjg
If we keep using common sense ways to control it, it prevents DAYS of learning/financial loss and potential hospital visits for dehydration. And...it's just gross to deal with. 🤢
Fpr respiratory illnesses, wear a quality respirator, be aware of social contacts, mask/respirator up in crowds and in low ventilation areas (low ceilings, restrooms, elevators, etc.), keep the air clean, get those COVID and flu shots, and STAY HOME if you are sick!
For the gastro stuff, don't prepare food when sick. Don't depend on gloves for sanitizing either! Wash fruits and veg before you eat them.
Wash hands with soap and water for 20 seconds.
❗Hand sanitizer and heat does not work well against Norovirus because the individual virions are very very tough to kill. You MUST wash hands with soap and water.
For all pathogens, cover coughs and sneezes in the elbow crease and not your hands.
We're almost there! :canparrot:
It's Goose flyover season! :cangoose:
We're gonna have a great Spring, and simple, common sense consideration and source control is how we get there! 💐💐💐

Today's patches for my #The100DayProject are #Noro ito. Only a small range of the colors in the #yarn are seen. The yarn is in the photo to show you what we're missing out on due to the small tiny 10 x 10 cm size.
I always dreamt of using noro yarn, but it was always outside of my budget until my favorite yarn shop had a closing down sale. :blobfoxnotlikethisgoogly:
My future #knitting plan for this yarn is to make a "nightshift" shawl (designed by Andrea Mowry)

Pitihän se tarkastaa:
"Vuonna 1968 epidemia peruskoulussa Norwalkissa Ohiossa yhdistettiin virukseen, joka sai nimen Norwalk virus.">> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norovirus
Varmaan vaikka @PetraSaarnisto vois valaista meille tuon suomenkielen noro sanan etymologiaa

”Vesilaki suojaa vain noron uomaa, ei valuma-aluetta, jolta vesi uomaan kerääntyy. Jos Helsingin kaupunki räjäyttää noron valuma-alueen, niin ei se noro tule enää sen jälkeen olemaan mikään noro”

Gesamtes Klinikum wird wegen Norovirus-Ausbruch evakuiert und nirgends steht was in der Presse...
Läuft in #Pirna
Komme mir vor wie ein Scharlatan, wenn ich von den Folgen berichte (deswegen zu früh entlassene pflegebedürftige Person bekommt es dann zu Hause, steckt ebenfalls pflegebedürftigen Mann an und schließlich auch mich, der ich in Berlin alles stehen und liegen gelassen habe, und jetzt hier wie wild unterstütze - die Personen sind meine Eltern).
Ist jetzt alles nicht sooo wild, just saying...

Heute saß ich in der Teamsitzung direkt neben einer Kollegin, Mutter, deren beiden Kinder an Kotz&Scheiß leiden. Wenig später musste sie sich eben wegen Kotz&Scheiß krank melden. Dann erfuhr ich, dass die Kinder den #Noro haben.
Wenn es wirklich der Noro ist, ist die Wahrscheinlichkeit recht groß, dass ich mich angesteckt habe...
BITTE NICHT!! ICH HATTE EINMAL DEN NORO UND WILL IHN NIE WIEDER HABEN!
