Wonderful. More than I could have hoped for!
Wonderful. More than I could have hoped for!
Thanks for asking. I was using incorrect terminology. It’s the Influenza B/Yamagata lineage which has probably gone extinct. According to this paper in The Lancet : https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanmic/article/PIIS2666-5247(24)00066-1/fulltext
The B/Victoria lineage persists. B/Yamagata has not been confirmed since March 2020 according to this paper : https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9524051/
This paper from Nature goes into it a bit more, in particular wrt implications for vaccines: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41579-021-00642-4
Yep, this is why I will continue to wear a mask when indoors with other people. Masking, distancing, hand washing, and isolation when sick; simple behavioral changes that have already made two strains of influenza go extinct.
Not everyone has had Covid. And every thing is always changing. It’s because of research like this, which came out around Feb 2024, and lots of other research on post-viral syndromes, that I will continue to be cautious. And recommend to anyone that is willing to listen that they can significantly reduce, even nearly eliminate the chances of getting an URI by taking four or five simple, inexpensive measures.
I suspect both methods will be necessary. Step A - clean up amyloid. Step B stop excess amyloid production.
I’m sorry that happened to you. :-(. Get another bike, don’t let the bullies win.
Bingo! Thank you for taking the time to write that up.

Good Bot!
Thanks for this. It’s concerning the similarities they see between Fagradalsfjall 2021, and the seismic activity they recorded a month before that eruption. And certainly justifies the declaration of a state of emergency.
It’s a good day!
Robust Weakening of the Gulf Stream During the Past Four Decades Observed in the Florida Straits https://doi.org/10.1029/2023GL105170
Plain Language Summary
The Gulf Stream is a major ocean current located off the East Coast of the United States. It carries a tremendous amount of seawater and along with it heat, carbon, and other ocean constituents. Because of this, the Gulf Stream plays an important role in weather and climate, influencing phenomena as seemingly unrelated as sea level along coastal Florida and temperature and precipitation over continental Europe. Given how important this ocean current is to science and society, scientists have tried to determine whether the Gulf Stream has undergone significant changes under global warming, but so far, they have not reached a firm conclusion. Here we report our effort to synthesize available Gulf Stream observations from the Florida Straits near Miami, and to assess whether and how the Gulf Stream transport there has changed since 1982. We conclude with a high degree of confidence that Gulf Stream transport has indeed slowed by about 4% in the past 40 years, the first conclusive, unambiguous observational evidence that this ocean current has undergone significant change in the recent past. Future studies should try to identify the cause of this change.

Brilliant! Yet another reason, scientifically backed, that we should plant MOAR trees!
