Good Afternoon SARS2PAians!

It's going to get a bit chilly the next few days , butin spite of that I hope you're haivng a great Spring! 💐💐💐

🔴Reminder: If you've built a Corsi-Rosenthal box, you can get lots of seasonal allergy relief by running it! CR boxes have many, many practical uses besides just controlling air particles that carry pathogens.

There was nothing much new to post on Monday plus I had a bunch of family things to handle (and doing this, admittedly takes time) so I apologize again for not posting. But you know the saying "no news is good news" and that defintiely applies to these updates.

I'm going to try and update the link list ASAP.

I hope you still find all this useful and informative. I hope the medical community finds these accurate and reliable.

VOCs

While we are experiencing a MOST welcome lull in COVID numbers right now, disease modelers are predicting a bump up in numbers at the end of this month.: https://ibb.co/YpnpfMF

This is due to a variant block that have specific mutations. Together they are nicknamed the FLiRT group and are named so because their most important mutations are located at S:F456L and S:R346T within the structure of the pathogen.

🔴Right now FLiRT mutes have an 8% advantage even over JN.1. That's fast.: https://ibb.co/NshJLK6

The most important VOCs out there right now are the variants that have the FLiRT designation, and I've highlighted these mutes on these screenshots in pink.

Remember that there is nowhere near the amount of national testing or sequencing that should be implemented, so it makes trying to predict growth activity more difficult.

Nationally, lots of FLiRT mutations out there. It is unknown whether they are fast enough to cause a wave altogether, but they're fast enough to compete with JN.1 to eventually take over quite a bit of the current leaderboard.: https://ibb.co/S7kCkpH

In PA, we have quite a few FLiRT mutation here but these mutes are in relatively low numbers, so far.: https://ibb.co/bdhJwKv

In NY/NJ, FLiRT mute JN.1.4 already in second place on the leaderboard at over 9% of random sequencing. The other FLiRT variants will undoubtedly catch up.: https://ibb.co/ZBgYP2G

Here you can see FLiRT's innate growth advantage compared to JN variants.: https://ibb.co/3swYQ4r

Here you can see JN.1's innate growth advantage compared to older variants.: https://ibb.co/DfH6j53

Wastewater

Nationally we're still on the bottom of the lull. This might be the lowest point of the whole year as our numbers ongoing could match 2022/2023, where we had quite a bump up in the middle of the summer (because, reminder: COVID doesn't have a "season", it can bump those numbers up anytime it gets lucky with a new mutation!).: https://ibb.co/3mVzfx9

In PA, wastewater still low pretty much everywhere which is great. MontCo SMASHING it, going way below national levels!!: https://ibb.co/TbrQgk7

CDC

The counties showing high increase in hospital admits has shifted around. Now the counties with the highest increases are along the NY border and down in the Southwest corner surrounding Greene Co. Adams and York also showing high end increases. Philly corner showing moderate increases.: https://ibb.co/cQRgbwM

The % inpatient beds map looks very good! stable or decreasing everywhere, except some increases in Columbia Co up going Northeast to Wayne Co.: https://ibb.co/Q8JMZvh

Staffed ICU beds in the vast majority of counties steady or going down...except Columbia, Luzerne and Wyoming in the eastern half of the State and Centre, Clearfield and Jefferson in Central PA.: https://ibb.co/5kXgcYR

Other Pathogens

We're still high in non-SARS2 respiratory pathogens according the WastewaterSCAN. FluA, FluB, and Human Metapneumovirus (HMPV) are still HIGH.

Gastro stuff is very high too, Norovirus and Roitavirus.

🔴Keep the air clean, be aware of social contacts and wear a quality respirator in crowds and in places where air filteration is suboptimal. Stay home of you are sick to beat the respiratory stuff.

🔴WASH HANDS with warm water and soap for at least 20 seconds to beat Noro and Rota. Rinse off fruits and veg before you eat them. Be aware of food handling safety in the kitchen. Don't send kids to school with this.

Mostly because...Noro and Rota are not only extremely contagious, they're also just...gross. 🤢

I hope you have a GREAT and safe 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 News

There'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 PATHOGENS

There 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! 💐💐💐
