It is not true that only a subset of the immunocompromised or a subset of the Long Haulers has viral persistence. A preliminary analysis of the papers in this compilation (data up to July 2021) 🧵1/6

This is a game-changer thread.
We have to assume that persistence of sars2 after infection is what is happening. The consequences are dire if treatments are not developed.
Precautionary principle should prevail. Transmission must be stopped, at any cost.
@xabitron1 how do you stop the transmission?
@denis89196880 NPIs -- air filtration/purification, de-crowding, international collaboration, stopping mass tourism, masking, isolation centers, pay leave and support of families, testing, control of outbreaks with mass testing and isolation of infected.
All with strict regulations until community transmission stops.
Either that or we are heading to global catastrophe.
There are estimates that 97% of US adults have had SARS-CoV-2 at least once; our only option is treatment at this stage; the challenge is that the a lot of the ‘science’ is now captured; the v-only approach led to mass infection (dropping all other health measures). Nothing is impossible, but we have a challenging chapter in the history of humanity just around the corner now 😢

Preventing reinfections still needs to be a priority. People contracting COVID multiple times a year, forever, can't be the way forward.
@BE @VengefulArzt @xabitron1 BOSSHE - In my opinion, the reason for the surge is that vaccinees now serve as an asymptomatic reservoir for RSV and other viral infections. https://twitter.com/GVDBossche/status/1594425764228857856
@BE @VengefulArzt @xabitron1 IN countries with low vaccination rates, the problem of children does not exist, therefore it is impossible to stop infections, they are within them ...
@BE @VengefulArzt @xabitron1 1) study Bossche 2) make comparisons with countries with low vaccination rates 3) The bill fits perfectly https://www.voiceforscienceandsolidarity.org/scientific-blog/it-is-5-past-12
@BE @VengefulArzt @denis89196880 I agree. We have to stop transmission, for the safety of all.
