    Article in the UK Daily Mail claims that #US Congressional investigation found that #China had already sequenced #SARS-CoV-2 #coronavirus while still calling #COVID-19 a viral pneumonia of unknown cause.

    > It confirms suspicions that the Chinese were studying the virus before announcing it to the world - a delay experts say cost countless of lives.

    1. Congress investigation finds Beijing mapped covid and hid findings
      from https://www.facebook.com/DailyMail
      Chinese scientists mapped out the coronavirus nearly a month before it was made public, raising questions about what those scientists knew and when they knew it, according to Congress.

    1. WHO: COVID origins unclear but lab leak theory needs study
      GENEVA (AP) — Over two years after the coronavirus was first detected in China, and after at least 6.3 million deaths have been counted worldwide from the pandemic, the World Health Organization is recommending in its strongest terms yet that a deeper probe is required into whether a lab accident may be to blame.

    • GeniusMusing
    @geniusmusing I was just telling someone recently that the vaccines needed to be combined specifically because it is already too much hassle to juggle #coronavirus boosters and annual #influenza shots.
    My understanding is that the current flu vax sometimes doesn't protect much. It depends whether they pick the right strains. Unless they figure out how to cover a larger variety of strains.

    Rapid antigen tests have increase false negative rates versus the Omicron variant of #COVID-19 ... apparently, that strain of the #SARS-CoV-2 #coronavirus has a sufficiently different protein coat that tests show reduced sensitivity.

      Rapid COVID home tests are more likely to give a false negative with the heavily-mutated Omicron variant compared to earlier strains, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said Tuesday.

    Found a city-owned facility that offers #COVID-19 testing, so I'm going to head over there this morning. I think this is just a cold, but there are four people coming to the building tomorrow for a training class (despite it being closed due to the recent #coronavirus outbreak in #NYC) and I'm supposed to be there.

    As @bthall said when we were discussing it over Wire, it is super weird to have that exception to "the building is closed and no one is allowed on-site". But there it is.

    Ron Unz ran from Pete Wilson's right, repeatedly blasting him for things like raising taxes and fees during a recession.

    With that in mind, I was prepared to read conspiracy theories about how the #coronavirus wasn't real, how it is less deadly than the flu, how the vaccines are absolutely the most dangerous thing every created, and how it is all a plot to replace our freedoms with a communist dictatorship headed by Mark Zuckerberg. I was pleasantly surprised that he's less driven by imaginary conspiracies and more by comparing results.

    When did it become standard to refer to strains of the #SARS-CoV-2 #coronavirus by Greek letter names? Suddenly, I started seeing Delta strain and not seeing names like B.1.1.7. What do they do when they run out of Greek letters?
