Earlier this summer, the Summit supercomputer at Oak Ridge National Lab in Tennessee set about crunching data on more than 40,000 genes from 17,000 genetic samples in an effort to better understand Covid-19. Summit is the second-fastest computer in the world, but the process — which involved analyzing 2.5 billion genetic combinations — still took more than a week.

When Summit was done, researchers analyzed the results. It was, in the words of Dr. Daniel Jacobson, lead researcher and chief scientist for computational systems biology at Oak Ridge, a “eureka moment.” The computer had revealed a new theory about how Covid-19 impacts the body: the bradykinin hypothesis. The hypothesis provides a model that explains many aspects of Covid-19, including some of its most bizarre symptoms. It also suggests 10-plus potential treatments, many of which are already FDA approved. Jacobson’s group published their results in a paper in the journal eLife in early July.

According to the team’s findings, a Covid-19 infection generally begins when the virus enters the body through ACE2 receptors in the nose, (The receptors, which the virus is known to target, are abundant there.) The virus then proceeds through the body, entering cells in other places where ACE2 is also present: the intestines, kidneys, and heart. This likely accounts for at least some of the disease’s cardiac and GI symptoms.

But once Covid-19 has established itself in the body, things start to get really interesting....

nevermind, thanks mods.

I sure would like to visit cpfunderground.com [50.62.133.78] but I get a "SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAIN" error, and if I ignore that, I get a "too many redirects" error I can't get beyond.

I can't say for sure what the problem is, but if I attempt to go to that same link, it happens to me too.

Try going to https://www.cpfunderground.com/index.html . See if that gets you there.

Thanks, that did the trick. Bookmarked.

That's weird. index.html should load by default. Whomever is webadminning that webserver should probably clean up webroot... just a guess.

Edit: I think my guess is wrong, but here is help in the first answer, even if the question is unrelated. Seems to be a configuration issue. Forward link to the webadmin with a description of the issue.

I honestly have no idea what the point of the conversation between Admin and another member was, but it was derailing the thread. Several posts deleted. PMs preferred. Thanks.
 
My former boss and the guy who runs the contract I now work for both nearly died this summer from Covid-19 like symptoms. Both were in ICU at one point. One was on a ventalator.
Neither tested positive for the corona virus. After multiple checks.

They live 500 miles apart. Both were healthy 70 something year olds. Doctors in both cases shrugged their shoulders. "Must be flu?" they said. But flu season in my area is long over. Is there a new strain they don't know about? Studies in the 1990's has shown there were 3 distinct strains of the flu known as Spanish flu. The first one bypassed old people. The thinking is they were immune due to a flu in 1890 that morphed into the Spanish flu. It was the third strain that killed older people. Normally it takes a virus a few years to morph into a new strain, but studies show the Spanish flu morphed twice in one year.

New studies are showing lots of people have "T-Cells" that make them immune to Covid-19. That is great news and shows why so many people suffer little to no effects from it. It also shows the human race will manage to survive another pandemic. Hopefully everybody reading this will be a part of that.

Caution: lots of dry reading

So, you guys remember those young "geniuses" I mentioned previously? The ones who decided to party it up in Washing Square park, shoulder-to-shoulder, no masks? This should come as no surprise.... a good number of them were obviously NYU students. Six are now confirmed infected. Causing NYU itself to enforce quarantine on 400 residents of the university dorms.

It's funny.... a young woman in NYC needs to get a license in order to braid hair in exchange for money. Yes, a license. But any two individuals with different body parts can get together, create another person, do a garbage job of raising that new person, and that's considered perfectly acceptable. Grows up a bit, goes to a University, doesn't have the mental capacity to not risk getting infected during a deadly planetary pandemic in which they could pass the virus onto others. Some of whom could die.

Age old issue of older generation looking down on a younger generation. And in the past you could say it was silly. What did the older generations used to complain about? Didn't like the younger generation's clothing style, music, perhaps a bit of lax morals that the older generation found distasteful or maybe even offensive? But basically minor complaints. Yeah, that's all changed. Now the complaint is, they couldn't give up one Summer of partying and getting drunk. Got themselves infected with a deadly virus, and got others infected too!

Act stupid, get yourself infected, don't care because you think this virus is a joke. Walk around.... if you get others infected who are trying their best to stay safe, and they die; you're responsible for killing them. You absolutely are.
 
This study in Nature Microbiology is pretty fascinating. The study makes abundantly clear without saying so that it is impossible that SARS-CoV-2 originated in any lab, Chinese or otherwise. Novel coronavirus apparently evolved from other bat viruses decades ago. But the study also brings some possible bad news to come.

...Of importance for future spillover events is the appreciation that SARS-CoV-2 has emerged from the same horseshoe bat subgenus that harbours SARS-like coronaviruses. Another similarity between SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 is their divergence time (40–70 years ago) from currently known extant bat virus lineages. This long divergence period suggests there are unsampled virus lineages circulating in horseshoe bats that have zoonotic potential due to the ancestral position of the human-adapted contact residues in the SARS-CoV-2 RBD. Without better sampling, however, it is impossible to estimate whether or how many of these additional lineages exist. While there is involvement of other mammalian species—specifically pangolins for SARS-CoV-2—as a plausible conduit for transmission to humans, there is no evidence that pangolins are facilitating adaptation to humans. A hypothesis of snakes as intermediate hosts of SARS-CoV-2 was posited during the early epidemic phase54, but we found no evidence of this....

All three approaches to removal of recombinant genomic segments point to a single ancestral lineage for SARS-CoV-2 and RaTG13. Two other bat viruses (CoVZXC21 and CoVZC45) from Zhejiang Province fall on this lineage as recombinants of the RaTG13/SARS-CoV-2 lineage and the clade of Hong Kong bat viruses sampled between 2005 and 2007. Specifically, progenitors of the RaTG13/SARS-CoV-2 lineage appear to have recombined with the Hong Kong clade (with inferred breakpoints at 11.9 and 20.8 kb) to form the CoVZXC21/CoVZC45-lineage. Sibling lineages to RaTG13/SARS-CoV-2 include a pangolin sequence sampled in Guangdong Province in March 2019 and a clade of pangolin sequences from Guangxi Province sampled in 2017....

I reversed the order of these quoted paragraphs, which are several paragraphs apart. Read the article. It is fascinating and includes some nice tables and figures.

tl;dr: there may be other unknown coronviruses lurking in horseshoe bats in China.
 
For those who missed it, we've officially reached 200,000 confirmed dead from Covid-19 in America.

I would have provided a link to a reputable news source but couldn't find one. (A reputable news source that is, that simply reported on the facts alone.)

This is disgusting, and the prediction is 400K dead Americans by 2021. Should have only been 30K, but for one incompetant narcissist. Don't call that politics, mods; it is fact, and everyone needs to accept it and accept if they had some small fractional part in it. This should not have happened. It should not continue to happen. I am livid. You should be, too.

vote vote and dont forget to get everyone to vote .
 
Like I said.... couldn't find one that concentrated on the facts alone. Honestly, if influential individuals on both sides of politics could put their equally hate-filled bickering aside and do what needs to be done for the betterment of EVERYONE, this virus would have burned itself out months ago. But I guess that's asking too much from Humanity.

Sure beats 2 million dead.
