A (wild?) speculation of mine is that CoViD 19 was an already established disease of some rural area. Unemployment due to the African Swine Fever Virus epizootic compelled residents to relocate. I am guessing that a market worker or truck driver infected the small carnivores and customers.

Would you wish cancer upon a child? No?

Would you wish cancer upon a child, if the odds were below a full 100% - say, "with most studies reporting a range of 13% to 25%"[1]?

Pediatric patients with long-COVID report high symptom burden, which appears to meet or exceed that of other chronic health conditions (eg, cancer, type 1 diabetes, asthma, and sickle cell disease)[1]

Do you ask your child to wear an uncomfortable seat belt so that, in the unlikely event of a crash, they are less likely to be seriously harmed?

Have you considered having a talk with them about airborne pathogens, and the health burdens of sequelae? Because wearing an N95 is a LOT less awkward than a symptom burden exceeding cancer.

Weekbericht Covid19 2026-18 – Low Covid info & actie

@mediaevalfishsandwich Still hunting for that stronger "like" than "like" for "thank you that was very informative": that's a great paper!!

RBD-ACE2 binding affinity ... BA.3.2 exhibits disastrously low fitness compared to LP.8.1.1

and in human plasma

in human plasma, BA.3.2 also demonstrated profound humoral immune evasion, with an 11-fold reduction in geometric mean neutralizing titer (NT50) compared to BA.3

and re: what the smarties in the xcancel thread were saying about China's different immune landscape:

Class 1/4 antibodies are prevalent in Chinese populations immunized with inactivated vaccines, where immune imprinting is less pronounced In contrast, mRNA vaccine recipients with stronger immune imprinting rarely develop these antibodies, which may cause divergent neutralization responses against BA.3.2 between these groups.

Figure 3 of that paper, too - very informative!
