Unvaccinated people are 'variant factories,'

humanisterz4804 — Wed, 07 Jul 2021 05:47:42 +0800

Unvaccinated people do more than merely risk their own health. They're also a risk to everyone if they become infected with coronavirus, infectious disease specialists say.

That's because the only source of new coronavirus variants is the body of an infected person.

"Unvaccinated people are potential variant factories," Dr. William Schaffner, a professor in the Division of Infectious Diseases at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, told CNN Friday.

"The more unvaccinated people there are, the more opportunities for the virus to multiply," Schaffner said.

Here’s what is known about the Delta variant of coronavirus
"When it does, it mutates, and it could throw off a variant mutation that is even more serious down the road."

All viruses mutate, and while the coronavirus is not particularly mutation-prone, it does change and evolve.

Most of the changes mean nothing to the virus, and some can weaken it. But sometimes, a virus develops a random mutation that gives it an advantage -- better transmissibility, for instance, or more efficient replication, or an ability to infect a great diversity of hosts.

Viruses with an advantage will outcompete other viruses, and will eventually make up the majority of virus particles infecting someone. If that infected person passes the virus to someone else, they'll be passing along the mutant version.

If a mutant version is successful enough, it becomes a variant.

But it has to replicate to do that. An unvaccinated person provides that opportunity.

"As mutations come up in viruses, the ones that persist are the ones that make it easier for the virus to spread in the population," Andrew Pekosz, a microbiologist and immunologist at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, told CNN.

"Every time the viruses changes, that gives the virus a different platform to add more mutations. Now we have viruses that spread more efficiently."

Viruses that don't spread cannot mutate.

Variants have arisen all over the world -- the B.1.1.7 or Alpha variant was first seen in England. The B.1.351 or Beta variant was first spotted in South Africa. The Delta variant, also called B.1.617.2, was seen first in India. And the US has thrown up several of its own variants, including the B.1.427 or Epsilon lineage first seen in California, and the B.1.526 or Eta variant first seen in New York.

Rise of Delta variant brings mask question back, even for the vaccinated
Already, one new variant has swept much of the world. Last summer, a version of the virus carrying a mutation called D614G went from Europe to the US and then the rest of the world. The change made the virus more successful -- it replicated better -- so that version took over from the original strain that emerged from China. It appeared before people starting naming the variants, but it became the default version of the virus.

Most of the newer variants added changes to D614G. The Alpha variant, or B.1.1.7, became the dominant variant in the US by late spring thanks to its extra transmissibility. Now the Delta variant is even more transmissible, and it's set to become the dominant variant in many countries, including the US.

The current vaccines protect well against all the variants so far, but that could change at any moment. That's why doctors and public health officials want more people to get vaccinated.

What parents need to know about children and the Delta variant
"The more we allow the virus to spread, the more opportunity the virus has to change," the World Health Organization advised last month.

Vaccines are not widely available in many countries. But in the US, there is plenty of supply, with slowing demand. Just 18 states have fully vaccinated more than half their residents, according to data from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

"Currently, approximately 1,000 counties in the United States have vaccination coverage of less than 30%. These communities, primarily in the Southeast and Midwest, are our most vulnerable. In some of these areas, we are already seeing increasing rates of disease," CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky told a White House briefing Thursday.

"Every time we see the virus circulating in the population, particularly a population that has pockets of immune people, vaccinated people, and pockets of unvaccinated people, you have a situation where the virus can probe," Pekosz said.

If a virus tries to infect someone with immunity, it may fail, or it may succeed and cause a mild or asymptomatic infection. In that case, it will replicate in response to the pressure from a primed immune system.

Like a bank robber whose picture is on wanted posters everywhere, the virus that succeeds will be the virus that makes a random change that makes it look less visible to the immune system.

Those populations of unvaccinated people give the virus the change not only to spread, but to change.

"All it takes is one mutation in one person," said Dr. Philip Landrigan, a pediatrician and immunologist at Boston College

Delta Plus Variant

humanisterz4804 — Tue, 29 Jun 2021 15:15:17 +0800

FML & be brace guys for another long period of lockdown. Prolly another year at least..

June 28, 2021 -- Public health officials in India are sounding the alarm on another coronavirus variant, which they are calling “Delta Plus.”

The Delta Plus variant, which is a mutation of the widespread Delta strain first identified in India, could be more infectious and cause more severe COVID-19. Officials in India labeled it a “variant of concern” this week.

The variant, also known as B.1.617.2.1, has led to an increase in cases in India. It has also been detected in the U.S., U.K., China, Japan, Poland, Portugal, Russia, and Switzerland.

Public health agencies such as the CDC and Public Health England are monitoring various “variants of concern” as the pandemic continues worldwide. On Friday, Public Health England issued a new briefing focused on the Delta variant, including potential mutations such as Delta Plus. The Delta strain is the dominant variant in the U.K. and now accounts for 95% of cases being sequenced.

Public Health England also said another variant, called Lambda, was designated a “variant under investigation” this week due to an increase in cases. Lambda, which was first identified in Peru, has spread to 26 countries. The six cases identified in the U.K. have been linked to overseas travel, according to the report

Kerajaan bercadang menubuhkan sebuah jawatankuasa bertindak bagi menangani isu 'sugarbaby', kata Timbalan Menteri Pembangunan Wanita, Keluarga dan Masyarakat Siti Zailah Mohd Yusoff.

Jelas Siti Zailah, jawatankuasa itu akan ditubuhkan melalui Kementerian Pengajian Tinggi dengan melibatkan agensi kerajaan yang berkaitan.

Katanya ia akan meneliti isu berkenaan dari aspek perundangan, sosial, pencegahan dan intervensi ke atas pihak yang terlibat.

"Perancangan berstruktur dan teratur dari segi maklumat dan data adalah perlu bagi memastikan tindakan yang akan diambil tepat dan mampu mencegah lebih banyak platform seperti Sugarbook dihasilkan pada masa akan datang," katanya dalam hantaran di Facebook, hari ini.

Ia dibuat selepas Siti Zailah mengadakan perbincangan bersama timbalan menteri pengajian tinggi dan timbalan menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri (Hal Ehwal Agama).

Terdahulu, media melaporkan Malaysia diletakkan pada kedudukan ketiga tertinggi di Asia di belakang India dan Indonesia bagi negara yang mempunyai bilangan 'sugar daddy' paling ramai melalui aplikasi Sugarbook, yang menyediakan platform untuk mencari perempuan simpanan atau lebih dikenali sebagai 'sugarbaby'.

Siti Zailah berkata, tujuan utama perbincangan tersebut ialah bagi mendapatkan pandangan terhadap tindakan agensi kerajaan berkaitan ke atas isu berkenaan kerana ia melibatkan kumpulan sasar kementerian iaitu wanita muda yang sedang menuntut ilmu di intitut pengajian tinggi awam (IPTA) dan swasta (IPTS).

"Kerajaan mahu memastikan wanita-wanita muda di IPTA dan IPTS ini terus diberikan potensi perkembangan diri dalam pendidikan dan tidak terjebak dengan aktiviti yang bertentangan dengan undang-undang dan moral bahkan yang paling penting, agama," katanya yang juga anggota parlimen Rantau Panjang.

Unlawful/Unfair dismissal

Dear fellow Forrumers

Today officialy I was terminated unjustly by my ex company. My role is marketing exec and handles social media (one of em is twitter). I just being hired last month and my probation period is 3 months. Long story short this company doesn’t have a clue about Twitter and how Twitter world is being run these days. 2 days ago our Twitter account being followed by 100++ fake (this twitter acc being set up by me when I was hired) followers/bots n surge the number followers within short period. Coming back from weekend I haven’t got a clue what happened & I argued that this is common things to happen in Twitter and with recent Twitter new algorithm and fraud mechanism they’ll remove fake followers on their own. I’m doing my own investigation there’s no abnormal or fake marketing being done to boost our followers.

So my management without knowing anything about Twitter or even conducting investigation and notice as stated in my contract to be given for one week simply dismiss me today. And the whole summarization being done today on 7th August.

This is chinaman company and I believe their main reason just to cut cost as they’re struggling to maintain the company but this definitely unlawful termination.

First in termination letter they’re stating that :

a) was willful or deliberate behaviour by me that is inconsistent with continuation of employment. (I don’t get this part) and they just stop it there without any details.

b) was SUSPECTED (not guilty) using unlawful methods getting 100++ followers within short period using company account.

So what action should I take? Suing them or reporting it to which government organization? Kindly help please 🙏🏻
