#AI cracks #superbug problem in two days that took scientists years
Their hypothesis is that the superbugs can form a tail from different #viruses which allows them to spread between species. Prof Penades likened it to the superbugs having "keys" which enabled them to move from home to home, or host species to host species.
Critically, this hypothesis was unique to the research team and had not been published anywhere else. Nobody in the team had shared their findings.

Under the microscope: Looking at B.C.'s wastewater surveillance for viruses
Scientists say they hope testing wastewater for pathogens, which gained prominence during the COVID-19 pandemic in B.C., continues and helps better inform the public of emerging threats going forward.

#German foreign intelligence service in 2020 put at 80%-90% the likelihood that #coronavirus behind #COVID19 #pandemic was accidentally released from #China's Wuhan Institute of Virology, two German newspapers reported
According to report by Die Zeit and Sueddeutscher Zeitung, Germany's spying agency #BND had indications that the institute had conducted gain-of-function experiments, whereby #viruses are modified to become more transmissible to humans for research purposes

Two definitions of RSV infection: influenza-like illness (IBD) and the combined use of IBD and prolonged severe acute respiratory infection (IBD/SARI).
A small percentage of #RSV hospitalizations meet the criteria for IBD but not SARI (10%). Those without cough (a requirement in the SARI definition) would have been excluded if we had used the SARI definition alone.

"HKU5-CoV-2 was found by a Chinese research team led by virologist Shi Zhengli, known as "Batwoman" for her work on coronaviruses, especially at the Wuhan Institute, which has been at the center of the theory suggesting Covid-19 came from a lab leak—something Shi has denied."—Jordan King >
