1. Sweden, the "model" country taken by so many. Time for an update on the situation including the terrible numbers and ICU-related news.
A thread
⬇️⬇️⬇️

 2. First numbers. Usually I only compare to neighbouring countries when I do this. Reminder: since demographics, social systems and behaviours, and health systems etc... are so different between the nordics and the rest of the world, comparisons between nordics make sense.
3. And nordic countries because of their low density of population, great healthcare system and already long existing social distancing rules were bound to do good during a pandemic.
4. And they all did, except Sweden which now has numbers comparable to countries with much worst starting conditions for a pandemic. Let's see on the number of cases.
Analysis here: Sweden is almost as bad as the US for cases/Million
5. And way worse than all other European countries considered. By far! And now I know most people could say that it's because we test more in Sweden: false. Testing is saturated so the number are likely higher even and this is disproved by the positivity rate.
6. The positivity rate is higher than in the US even, while testing capacity is already at the maximum in Sweden.
In earlier threads 8 weeks ago I said that the 2nd wave was coming with a delay to nordic countries, it's clearly visible now.
7. The 2nd wave started in France and other countries basically beginning of September. In Sweden and the nordic, mid-October.
8. Now the deaths... Denmark which had a lot of cases/millions is still with the other nordics for deaths, so they managed it well... but not Sweden which is now higher than most European countries. And probably higher than the US even...
9. Because we have to consider the delay in the reporting of deaths in Sweden. It takes now more than 10 days for the reporting of deaths to be reliable, so any figure you see that is less than 10 days old is not reliable.
10. For more info on the delay in the report of deaths, see the amazing website from @adamaltmejd

11. Now about the ICU beds situation that some people enquire about... bad news: first time since the beginning of the pandemic that the situation is that dramatic. Mainly in Stockholm, ICU beds saturated. Other places doing better.

12. And what is worse is that health workers now feel the pressure of the pandemic and start quitting, therefore making the situation even worse.

13. As a reminder, Anders Tegnell still does not support wearing a mask in public... in fact the only difference between Sweden and the other nordics that did much better during the pandemic is
14. that Sweden listened to the intuitions of Tegnell while the other nordics listened to scientific reasoning... and we see today clearly what is the right strategy... The Swedish model is nothing but a cautionary tale, stop daydreaming about it!

HORANADU ANNAPOORNESHWARI, CHIKMAGALUR (KAR)
#bharatmandir

Annapoorneshwari is the Devi of nutrition and food. The literal meaning of Annapoorneshwari is “Feeding one and all”. Anyone who comes here is offered meals and shelter within the premises.
@LostTemple7


Maharshi Agastya is believed to have done pratishtha here.

Once, Shiva and Parvati had an argument. Shiva declared everything in the world including food to be Maya or illusion. To prove him wrong, Devi Parvati disappeared resulting in entire Earth becoming still.


Taking pity, Devi appeared as Annapoorna and relieved everyone.
Another belief is that once Shiva beheaded Brahma and his skull got stuck in Shiva’s hand. He was cursed that till the skull is not full of food or grains, it will remain stuck to his hands.


Shiva went everywhere and asked for food but the skull was never full. He finally came here and Maa Annapoorna filled the skull with grains and reversed Shiva’s curse.

It is believed that who ever visits Devi Annapoorna here will never be without food in their lives.

1/“What would need to be true for you to….X”

Why is this the most powerful question you can ask when attempting to reach an agreement with another human being or organization?

A thread, co-written by @deanmbrody:


2/ First, “X” could be lots of things. Examples: What would need to be true for you to

- “Feel it's in our best interest for me to be CMO"
- “Feel that we’re in a good place as a company”
- “Feel that we’re on the same page”
- “Feel that we both got what we wanted from this deal

3/ Normally, we aren’t that direct. Example from startup/VC land:

Founders leave VC meetings thinking that every VC will invest, but they rarely do.

Worse over, the founders don’t know what they need to do in order to be fundable.

4/ So why should you ask the magic Q?

To get clarity.

You want to know where you stand, and what it takes to get what you want in a way that also gets them what they want.

It also holds them (mentally) accountable once the thing they need becomes true.

5/ Staying in the context of soliciting investors, the question is “what would need to be true for you to want to invest (or partner with us on this journey, etc)?”

Multiple responses to this question are likely to deliver a positive result.

Unfortunately the "This work includes the identification of viral sequences in bat samples, and has resulted in the isolation of three bat SARS-related coronaviruses that are now used as reagents to test therapeutics and vaccines." were BEFORE the


chimeric infectious clone grants were there.https://t.co/DAArwFkz6v is in 2017, Rs4231.
https://t.co/UgXygDjYbW is in 2016, RsSHC014 and RsWIV16.
https://t.co/krO69CsJ94 is in 2013, RsWIV1. notice that this is before the beginning of the project

starting in 2016. Also remember that they told about only 3 isolates/live viruses. RsSHC014 is a live infectious clone that is just as alive as those other "Isolates".

P.D. somehow is able to use funds that he have yet recieved yet, and send results and sequences from late 2019 back in time into 2015,2013 and 2016!

https://t.co/4wC7k1Lh54 Ref 3: Why ALL your pangolin samples were PCR negative? to avoid deep sequencing and accidentally reveal Paguma Larvata and Oryctolagus Cuniculus?

The chorus of this song uses the shlokas taken from Sundarkand of Ramayana.

It is a series of Sanskrit shlokas recited by Jambavant to Hanuman to remind Him of his true potential.

1. धीवर प्रसार शौर्य भरा: The brave persevering one, your bravery is taking you forward.


2. उतसारा स्थिरा घम्भीरा: The one who is leaping higher and higher, who is firm and stable and seriously determined.

3. ुग्रामा असामा शौर्या भावा: He is strong, and without an equal in the ability/mentality to fight

4. रौद्रमा नवा भीतिर्मा: His anger will cause new fears in his foes.

5.विजिटरीपुरु धीरधारा, कलोथरा शिखरा कठोरा: This is a complex expression seen only in Indic language poetry. The poet is stating that Shivudu is experiencing the intensity of climbing a tough peak, and likening

it to the feeling in a hard battle, when you see your enemy defeated, and blood flowing like a rivulet. This is classical Veera rasa.

6.कुलकु थारथिलीथा गम्भीरा, जाया विराट वीरा: His rough body itself is like a sharp weapon (because he is determined to win). Hail this complete

hero of the world.

7.विलयगागनथाला भिकारा, गरज्जद्धरा गारा: The hero is destructive in the air/sky as well (because he can leap at an enemy from a great height). He can defeat the enemy (simply) with his fearsome roar of war.
