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 🧶

I kinda hope that everyone not wearing a #mask this holiday season spends two days spraying out of both ends from #noro.

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?

Good Afternoon SARS2PAians!

1/2 for Sept. 9th, 2024

I hope you are having a healthy and productive late summer!☀️

__________
VOCs

The 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.

__________
Wastewater

WastewaterSCAN 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!

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.

__________
XEC

As 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

__________
Wastewater

Wastewater 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!

Update for 3/1/2024!

Good Morning SARS2PAians! ❄️

Welcome to March, after Leap Day 🐇🐏🐸!

There's no new CDC stuff today.

__________
VOCs

Nothing currently new with VOCs, JN.1 all over the place nationally: https://ibb.co/GncBGTR

and in PA of course.: https://ibb.co/yS1wq0c

Scientists are still watching JN.1.11, and even though it's sort of fizzled out itself, its children are now moving progressively faster as it develops.

Faster than its parent, JN.1.11.1 is moving along and is being found in most new sampling.

Along with it, JN.1.11.1.1, which is shortened to KP.1, has great potential to make a dent in its grandparent's leaderboard status.

I'm also seeing a LOT of JN.1.16 both here in Canada by the latest sequencing experts. I'm just going to make a mental note of JN.1.16 because it and also JN.1.11.1 are both moving sorta quickly through Canada and are also found in the NY/NJ area.: https://ibb.co/R3Tmstt

None of these are "major eathshaking variants" but to have something faster NOW will bump numbers back up for Spring and we DO NOT want that!

Nothing all that significant in PA yet. No JN.1.16, JN.1.11, JN.1.11.1, or KP.1.

__________
Wastewater

Nationally, SARS2 material found in wastewater is DROPPING again!: https://ibb.co/3RM4DDk

This is great. We are starting to approach the lower levels of previous years.: https://ibb.co/pbHnDDJ

Regionally, all regions are down except for the Midwest which is bumping upwards.: https://ibb.co/MhJmxX4

In PA, all 5 sheds that report to Biobot are droping significantly!!: https://ibb.co/tPhVHWJ

And so are the Harrisburg and UPark areas which report to WastewaterSCAN. This is great for still having winter weather. We're handling it. We're doing something right!: https://ibb.co/5cWQDHh

The State PA Wastewater Dashboard now has many sheds, especially in the East, in the blue, SARS concentration lessening.: https://ibb.co/Wx2Pf2J

__________
Non-SARS2 Wastewater

OK, now for the not-so-great wastewater news: we're getting smashed by non-SARS pathogens like FluA, FluB, and Norovirus (which is the "24-hr stomach bug").

Numbers of FluA and FluB are rising significantly in all sheds that report to WastewaterSCAN.

FluA: https://ibb.co/Xkn6xYL
FluB: https://ibb.co/84wfBH9

Especially in UPark with FluB, yikes. Please wear a quality respirator to control this. Not doing so means more learning loss!

UPark is getting hit hard with Norovirus, which is already at HIGH levels and is going vertical there.: https://ibb.co/svpJB1t

C'mon, UPark, get a hold of this so your Spring won't be a mess! 💐

:ms_arrow_right: WASH hands, WASH food you eat and don't prepare food if you are sick to prevent the spread of Noro. It's just gross. Don't spread it!

It's still going to take a bit of work but if we do, we'll be more prepared for a healthier Spring.

And that in both scenarios: if we have a relatively calm COVID Spring with no new crazyfast variant (less likely), and also we won't be fighting pathogens on many different fronts if we DO have a crazyfast variant (more likely).

Stay healthy and have a great March! ❄️💐❄️

Nothing all that significant in PA yet. No JN.1.16, JN.1.11, JN.1.11.1, or KP.1.

Wastewater

Nationally, SARS2 material found in wastewater is DROPPING again!: https://ibb.co/3RM4DDk

This is great. We are starting to approach the lower levels of previous years.: https://ibb.co/pbHnDDJ

Regionally, all regions are down except for the Midwest which is bumping upwards.: https://ibb.co/MhJmxX4

In PA, all 5 sheds that report to Biobot are droping significantly!!: https://ibb.co/tPhVHWJ

And so are the Harrisburg and UPark areas which report to WastewaterSCAN. This is great for still having winter weather. We're handling it. We're doing something right!: https://ibb.co/5cWQDHh

The State PA Wastewater Dashboard now has many sheds, especially in the East, in the blue, SARS concentration lessening.: https://ibb.co/Wx2Pf2J

__________
Non-SARS2 Wastewater

OK, now for the not-so-great wastewater news: we're getting smashed by non-SARS pathogens like FluA, FluB, and Norovirus (which is the "24-hr stomach bug").

Numbers of FluA and FluB are rising significantly in all sheds that report to WastewaterSCAN.

FluA: https://ibb.co/Xkn6xYL
FluB: https://ibb.co/84wfBH9

Especially in UPark with FluB, yikes. Please wear a quality respirator to control this. Not doing so means more learning loss!

UPark is getting hit hard with Norovirus, which is already at HIGH levels and is going vertical there.: https://ibb.co/svpJB1t

C'mon, UPark, get a hold of this so your Spring won't be a mess! 💐

:ms_arrow_right: WASH hands, WASH food you eat and don't prepare food if you are sick to prevent the spread of Noro. It's just gross. Don't spread it!

It's still going to take a bit of work but if we do, we'll be more prepared for a healthier Spring.

And that in both scenarios: if we have a relatively calm COVID Spring with no new crazyfast variant (less likely), and also we won't be fighting pathogens on many different fronts if we DO have a crazyfast variant (more likely).

Stay healthy and have a great March! ❄️💐❄️

Update for 3/1/2024!

Good Morning SARS2PAians! ❄️

Welcome to March, after Leap Day 🐇🐏🐸!

There's no new CDC stuff today.

__________
VOCs

Nothing currently new with VOCs, JN.1 all over the place nationally: https://ibb.co/GncBGTR

and in PA of course.: https://ibb.co/yS1wq0c

Scientists are still watching JN.1.11, and even though it's sort of fizzled out itself, its children are now moving progressively faster as it develops.

Faster than its parent, JN.1.11.1 is moving along and is being found in most new sampling.

Along with it, JN.1.11.1.1, which is shortened to KP.1, has great potential to make a dent in its grandparent's leaderboard status.

I'm also seeing a LOT of JN.1.16 both here in Canada by the latest sequencing experts. I'm just going to make a mental note of JN.1.16 because it and also JN.1.11.1 are both moving sorta quickly through Canada and are also found in the NY/NJ area.: https://ibb.co/R3Tmstt

Poliisien olisi ehkä kannattanut jättää vitsit sikseen ja ottaa tieto norosta vakavasti https://www.hs.fi/alueet/art-2000011580770.html

Käräjäoikeuden päätös saa miettimään, olisiko poliisin kannattanut valvoa vesilain noudattamista eikä varmistaa hakkuiden toteutumista, kirjoittaa HS:n ympäristötoimittaja Heli Saavalainen. #noro #vesilaki #poliisi #luonto www.hs.fi/alueet/art-2...

Kommentti | Poliisien olisi eh...

"Stereotypia menee näin: aktivistit rikkovat sääntöjä, ja poliisi pitää huolen, ettei aktivistien toiminta häiritse yhteiskuntarauhaa."

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."

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).

#Noro #Norovirus

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!

#daumendruck

Helsingin kaupunki kertoo, että on jo ryhtynyt toimenpiteisiin noron ennallistamiseksi ja sitoutuu ennallistamaan sen 31. toukokuuta 2025 mennessä avin päätöksen mukaisesti ja selvittää parhaillaan eri vaihtoehtoja Kruunuvuoren rakentamisen jatkamiseen.
