“Covid is not going away. Covid vaccines are not foolproof. But endless waves of mass outbreaks, deaths, and an epidemic of long covid is no solution, either. Short of of unsustainable zero-covid policies, what’s to be done?”
A new summer COVID wave may be on its way
“Cases of COVID-19 are on the rise or likely rising across half of the U.S. including much of the south as well as the West Coast, according to a weekly update from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.”

XFG could become the next dominant COVID variant. Here’s what to know about ‘Stratus’
“Given the number of times this has happened already, it should come as little surprise that we’re now faced with yet another new subvariant of SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID.
This new subvariant is known as XFG (nicknamed “Stratus”) and the World Health Organization (WHO) designated it a “variant under monitoring” in late June. XFG is a subvariant of Omicron, of which there are now more than 1,000.”

So, I am redoing my annual BSL-3 facility training, and this is how we have to dress to work with #SARSCoV2 in the Lab. I am investigating the same strain that is circulating everywhere, Omicron variants KP.2 and KP.3. What do you think? 🙇

Team finds flawed data in recent study relevant to coronavirus antiviral development
“Now, in a new study published in Cell, Small and colleagues demonstrate exactly why scientists still don't know how the NiRAN domain works. The findings could have sweeping implications for drug developers already working to design antivirals based on flawed assumptions, and underscore the importance of rigorous validation.
‘It is absolutely important that structures be accurate for medicinal chemistry, especially when we're talking about a critical target for antivirals that is the subject of such intense interest in industry,’"

20 Signs You’re "Still Coviding" in the Friction Economy
“If you’re anything like me, this journey started with just trying to keep your family healthy. But somewhere along the way, your daily life became a masterclass in social calculus, air science, and soft-core diplomacy. You were given names, labels, and projections you didn’t deserve, as the slogans seemed to shift from ‘stop the spread’ to ‘stop those who are trying to stop the spread.’”
