Look like that they got a classical case of PCR Cross-Contamination.
They had 2 fabricated samples (SRX9714436 and SRX9714921) on the same PCR run. Alongside with Lung07. They did not perform metagenomic sequencing on the “feces” and they did not get

 A positive oral or anal swab from anywhere in their sampling. Feces came from anus and if these were positive the anal swabs must also be positive. Clearly it got there after the NA have been extracted and were from the very low-level degraded RNA which were mutagenized from
The Taq. https://t.co/yKXCgiT29w to see SRX9714921 and SRX9714436.
Human+Mouse in the positive SRA, human in both of them. Seeing human+mouse in identical proportions across 3 different sequencers (PRJNA573298, A22, SEX9714436) are pretty straight indication that the originals
Were already contaminated with Human and mouse from the very beginning, and that this contamination is due to dishonesty in the sample handling process which prescribe a spiking of samples in ACE2-HEK293T/A549, VERO E6 and Human lung xenograft mouse.
The “lineages” they claimed to have found aren’t mutational lineages at all—all the mutations they see on these sequences were unique to that specific sequence, and are the result of RNA degradation and from the Taq polymerase errors accumulated from the nested PCR process
Where the extremely low error-ridden cross-contaminating molecule were amplified with mutagenesis happening on each step—especially between the initial RT-PCR and sequencing PCR process, which cross contamination have happened. Notice that any extra Pro or Cys on the highly
Conserved N protein sequences are lethal to the virus—especially the extra Cys which will become a nucleophile and a Ribonuclease in the budded virion in an extracellular environment, degrading the genome and inactivating the virus immediately. These Cys will also cause the N to
Dimerize and consequently lose it’s ability to bind RNA or mediate virion assembly in the first place. While the Pro will break a conserved secondary structure in the C-terminal domain and prevent the N from folding correctly. These are not found anywhere else and are obviously
Sequencing errors. Especially since these samples came from cross-contamination without a corresponding positive oral or anal swab (they didn’t get a single swab that is positive).
M1, they cite as having “hemorrhage” claimed to be Coronavirus symptoms, are anything BUT coronavirus symptoms. https://t.co/3a8nqY6rOz “Open in new tab
X-ray tests revealed a large area of shadow in the left lung of pangolin 2-Lishui, suggestive of pneumonia” but
“we have not found coronaviruses in these pangolins by meta-transcriptomic and PCR methods.”. Notice the PLT- in the Pestivirus-infected pangolin samples. Pestivirus is seen in the SRA of M1, SRX7756769 (107267359 spots as in the Xiao et al article). The Pestivirus is seen
In all PRJNA573298 sample lungs, and it causes interstitial pneumonia and gives the same kind of CT scan and blood test result as in the 06/22 article. This sample also contained a locally circulating CCoV (Canine Coronavirus, often infects zoo/rescued solitary animals due to
It’s ubiquitous nature in most human-associated environments) strain with reads that weren’t rolling circles as the GD-1 reads and are mostly related to the Canine Coronavirus isolates circulating in dogs in GZ.
Coronavirus infections can not generate rolling circles as they does not encode RNA ligases, an enzyme that is necessary to create a true CircRNA. (What they claim to be CircRNA reads from CoV infections in other papers aren’t true CircRNA but are Partially duplicated RNA due to
The Coronavirus RdRp template-switching to a location before it’s current location. This RNA is still linear. However, the Rolling Circles corresponds to two hotspots of M13 primers seen in the amplicons for nsp3 and for the 3’-end of the genome. This imply that they were
Remnants of cDNA cloning, stemming from DNA that were circularized without a vector backbone.)
Canine Coronavirus and FIPV (alphacoronavirus 1) infections also generate very similar symptoms, and will result in positive cross-reactive NP in the immunofluorescence screening. Even the right GEO profile provide they remove it from the final SRA. Finally, the ACE2 expression
“Lowest in the lungs” claimed in this paper is at odd with the 06/22 paper claim that “ACE2 and TMPRSS2 is most highly expressed in the lungs”. This suggest that the GEO profile of the 06/22 article associated with A22/SRX8582289 have been fabricated or were derived from hACE2
Mouse. The hemorrhage seen in M1 is consistent with DYPV(Flavivirus/pestivirus related to BVDV) which is seen in the metagenome, while the pneumonia could be either be the result of DYPV-related Pestivirus, from the Sendai (murine respirovirus), from the Canine Coronavirus or
From any of the non-Coronavirus (Colitivirus or Murine Respirovirus) agents found in PRJNA573298.
M1 have Murine Respirovirus.

SeV is in the same family as human Parainfluenza virus. It causes bilateral ground-glass opacity.
https://t.co/NeY2ajwsDo
The blood tests—pestivirus once again fully explains all the blood changed observed. When a Parainfluenza virus is also present, the blood test become indistinguishable.
Another snRNA-seq say ACE2 and TMPRSS2 are barely exiressed in the lungs and are never coexpressed.
Weaker than the kidneys—this is again at odds with the SCAU claim that even negative pangolins have lung>>kidney for ACE2. Both publication say that Kidney is the highest ACE2 expressing organ in all pangolins where lung expression is negligible. The 06/22 article is the only
One that claim that all pangolins including negative samples, have lung ACE2 >> Kidney. This indicate that they have Spiked all of them with K12-hACE2 mouse as it is in disagreement of all previous or later pangolin transcriptomes.
“(Individual number: L08) as a positive control”—and guess what L08 actually is—Human AND Mice!
L08: Lung08.

@WisdomRebel Date of the 2020-2024 grant of June 2020. The WIV also contained several HKU3-like Coronaviruses, particularly in mice in an 2017 GEO experiment, which is consistent with the published HKU3 and batified mice experiment in the DEFUSE document (evidence from an already conducted

@WisdomRebel Experiment). Either DEFUSE or fast-tracked form of the 2020-2024 grant in 2019 would have lead to full-length Sarbecovirus clones being used, leading to SARS-CoV-2 in the lab—they used HKU4 in stead of HKU5 for the MERS spike experiment indicating that backbone sequence distance

@jbloom_lab It seems that it is a deeply cultured, but in deed ancestrally derived, sequence of SARS-CoV-2, that have many of the VERO cell specific mutations and deletions already in.

but it is not likely a clinical specimen from China because of the USA/WA-1 base which is not in Wuhan.

It had T22657C, T3346C, A21562C and G487T. all of which is in RaTg13 but not in WuHu-1. also T1963C and T22963C in BANAL-52. not all of the reads were H655Y and del I68-T76.

And it is actually clustered closely to the A/North America lineage, which shouldn't have appeared in a Chinese lab. also not there in Wuhan either.

also only one of the SRRs harbored T18060C it seemed.

@stevenemassey Only a sample is there. This cell line don’t have NGS. But it was consistent with a cell culture, and the RBD of the virus is not suitable for binding to the ACE2 found there. The ACE2 is same as Ra4331 and Ra9479.

And the RBD have a T403 that prevents infection of intestinal cells (hACE2 intestinal organoids, infection is restored upon T403R, but weaker than SARS-CoV-2) or lung cells (R.affinis primary, with supplemented hACE2. Infection is restored upon T403R).


Also that there exist no Sarbecovirus RBD with a D501.

Here's more on the new mitigation scenario for 1.5C. How does it work? What would society look like? Are we willing to do what's required to stop climate breakdown? See thread.


1. Most models assume we need to keep growing the economy indefinitely. The problem is this makes it impossible to transition to zero emissions quickly enough; so they speculate on geoengineering and negative-emissions technologies to save us. Scientists reject this as too risky.

2. By contrast, this scenario proposes that high-income countries don't *need* more growth, and can scale down unnecessary production and consumption. This reduces energy demand (from 140 EJ in 2020 to 40 EJ in 2050), and enables a rapid transition to renewable energy.

3. What does it require? In the global North (Annex 1 countries)
•a shift from private cars to public transportation
•reduction in flights
•smaller average house size

Meanwhile, consumption in the global South (non-Annex 1 countries) rises to converge.


4. Significant reduction of aggregate material use. How? Longer product lifespans; regionalization of production and consumption; ban on advertising; a shift in taxes from labour to resources. All of this allows us to reduce ground freight, which cuts energy use.

@mugecevik is an excellent scientist and a responsible professional. She likely read the paper more carefully than most. She grasped some of its strengths and weaknesses that are not apparent from a cursory glance. Below, I will mention a few points some may have missed.
1/


The paper does NOT evaluate the effect of school closures. Instead it conflates all ‘educational settings' into a single category, which includes universities.
2/

The paper primarily evaluates data from March and April 2020. The article is not particularly clear about this limitation, but the information can be found in the hefty supplementary material.
3/


The authors applied four different regression methods (some fancier than others) to the same data. The outcomes of the different regression models are correlated (enough to reach statistical significance), but they vary a lot. (heat map on the right below).
4/


The effect of individual interventions is extremely difficult to disentangle as the authors stress themselves. There is a very large number of interventions considered and the model was run on 49 countries and 26 US States (and not >200 countries).

Ct values can be used to estimate epidemic dynamics UPDATE! Ct values are expected to change depending on whether the epidemic is growing or declining, and we harness this to estimate the epidemic trajectory. Lots of cool new analyses and methods!

Highlights:
- Cts from symptom-based surveillance change over time, but the effect is weaker
- Methods to infer incidence using single cross-sections of Cts
- Unbiased by changing testing coverage
- Gaussian process (wiggly line) model for incidence tracking using Ct values
2/12

This work is *JOINTLY led* with @LeekShaffer and PI’d by @michaelmina_lab. Thank you also to the ever insightful @mlipsitch and to coauthors @SanjatKanjilal @gabriel_stacey and @nialljlennon. 3/12

Premise: times since infection depend on the epidemic trajectory. Distributions of randomly sampled viral loads proxy times since infection. With calibration, Ct values can estimate growth rate. We focus on qPCR in SARS-CoV-2, but the principle applies to any outbreak. 4/12

Result 1: viral loads are shifted higher (Cts lower) during epidemic growth and lower (Cts higher) during decline when individuals are sampled *based on the onset of symptoms*. We simulated linelist data under symptom-based surveillance and looked at TSI and Cts over time. 5/12

शमशान में जब महर्षि दधीचि के मांसपिंड का दाह संस्कार हो रहा था तो उनकी पत्नी अपने पति का वियोग सहन नहीं कर पायी और पास में ही स्थित विशाल पीपल वृक्ष के कोटर में अपने तीन वर्ष के बालक को रख के स्वयं चिता पे बैठ कर सती हो गयी ।इस प्रकार ऋषी दधीचि और उनकी पत्नी की मुक्ति हो गयी।


परन्तु पीपल के कोटर में रखा बालक भूख प्यास से तड़पने लगा। जब कुछ नहीं मिला तो वो कोटर में पड़े पीपल के गोदों (फल) को खाकर बड़ा होने लगा। कालान्तर में पीपल के फलों और पत्तों को खाकर बालक का जीवन किसी प्रकार सुरक्षित रहा।

एक दिन देवर्षि नारद वहां से गुजर रहे थे ।नारद ने पीपल के कोटर में बालक को देख कर उसका परिचय मांगा -
नारद बोले - बालक तुम कौन हो?
बालक - यही तो मैं भी जानना चहता हूँ ।
नारद - तुम्हारे जनक कौन हैं?
बालक - यही तो मैं भी जानना चाहता हूँ ।

तब नारद ने आँखें बन्द कर ध्यान लगाया ।


तत्पश्चात आश्चर्यचकित हो कर बालक को बताया कि 'हे बालक! तुम महान दानी महर्षि दधीचि के पुत्र हो । तुम्हारे पिता की अस्थियों का वज्रास्त्र बनाकर ही देवताओं ने असुरों पर विजय पायी थी।तुम्हारे पिता की मृत्यु मात्र 31 वर्ष की वय में ही हो गयी थी'।

बालक - मेरे पिता की अकाल मृत्यु का क्या कारण था?
नारद - तुम्हारे पिता पर शनिदेव की महादशा थी।
बालक - मेरे उपर आयी विपत्ति का कारण क्या था?
नारद - शनिदेव की महादशा।
इतना बताकर देवर्षि नारद ने पीपल के पत्तों और गोदों को खाकर बड़े हुए उस बालक का नाम पिप्पलाद रखा और उसे दीक्षित किया।

Surkanda devi mandir is a famous shrine of Hindus located near Kaddukhal distt of Uttarakhand, 11 Km from the town of Dhanaulti and 35 Km from Mussoorie.
The Temple is one of the 51 Shakti Peethas spread all over Indian Subcontinent and is dedicated to Goddess Surkanda.


Nestled on a Hill at an Altitude of 2700 m approx, the place offers a splendid view of the snow capped mountains, the picturesque scenic beauty that offers an experience of the lifetime.
The Temple build in the traditional Garhwal style exuberates the Architectural splendour.


The origins of the Surkanda Mata Mandir is attributed to Goddess Sati, consort of Bhagwan Shiv who in a rage immolated herself in her arrogant Father Daksha's Yajna Kund bcoz he didn't invite Bhagwan Shiv in the Yajna.


Devastated by the death of Sati Shiva wandered all over the cosmos performing Tandava-The Dance of Cosmic Destruction.Fearing the total annihilation of cosmos, Gods requested Bhagwan Vishnu to pacify Shiva.Bhagwan Vishnu then used his discuss to destroy the burning corps of Sati.


The pieces of Sati Mata's body then got scattered all over the region which were later established as Shakti Peethas by Bhagwan Shiva himself.Its believed that the head of Sati fell here and it was called Sirkhanda Mata Temple before, but with passage of time it became Surkanda.

Marvels of Medical Science in Ancient India

ACHARYA SUSHRUTA and SUSHRUTA SAMHITA

Ancient Indians were pioneers in diverse fields of study and their genius was centuries ahead of their times. Feel the glory, basking in pride of their unparalleled achievements.

(Thread)


Sushruta (circa 7th or 6th century BC) was a surgeon who in present times is known as the “father of Indian medicine” and “father of plastic surgery” for inventing and developing surgical procedures. He lived in Kashi on the banks of river Ganga.(1)

His work documented in the Sushruta Samhita (compendium) is one of the oldest texts in the world on plastic surgery and regarded as one of the trilogies of Ayurveda. The other 2 being the Charaka Samhita and Astanga Hridaya.(2)

Sushruta compiled the Sushruta Samhita as an instruction manual for physicians to treat patients.(3)

The Samhita caters to surgical techniques listing over 300 surgical procedures and 120 surgical instruments. Additionally to 1,120 diseases, injuries and their treatments with over 700 medicinal herbs and their application.(4)
