# life: aproposito di '1or2achoos' (da Wuhan (?)) ...


a proposito di '1or2achoos' (da Wuhan (?)) ... cfr Weekly epidemiological update on COVID-19 - 6 July 2022. Edition 99. Emergency Situational Updates. https://www.who.int/publications/m/item/weekly-epidemiological-update-on-covid-19---6-july-2022   img   https://cdn.who.int/media/images/default-source/mca/mca-covid-19/coronavirus-2.tmb-768v.jpg?sfvrsn=4dba955c_12 

Qui l'approccio semplice, diretto, efficace che ho usato per la prevenzione ed eventuale gestione personale dell'entità coronavirus /  SARS-COV-2 (SARS: Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome ) 

In data 20 Marzo 2020 ho pubblicato sul mio blog FonT - e, giusto per intendersi, ho contemporaneamente inviato il testo a una mia mail criptata - un approccio nell'ipotesi di disattivare / spegnere il coronavirus (sars-cov-2) che causa covid-19;   

Qui il link   ('you can get more security by spraying...)'   https://flashontrack.blogspot.com/2020/03/life-funky-immediate-approach-of.html

L'approccio pubblicato consisteva nell'uso di una soluzione di alcool (uso alimentare, 96%), perossido di idrogeno (3%) e acqua da nebulizzare con un generico dosatore spray tascabile (usato per nebulizzare profumi); 

La stechiometria di due dei tre componenti (alcool e perossido di idrogeno) era indicata sul sito del WHO (e consigliata per disinfettare superfici);

Qui il link attuale del doc 
12 WHO-recommended handrub formulations (2009) - Formulation I      
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK144054  che a quel tempo era presente, e attualmente assente, sul sito WHO al link 
e scaricabile nella forma di doc.pdf

Modificai la soluzione con la sostituzione di glicerolo con acqua per consentire la nebulizzazione del prodotto; 

Da allora ho sempre usato la miscela spray per disinfettare mani e mascherine di cotone (doppia mascherina, di cotone, riusabile, in posizione esterna e quando disponibile ffp2 in posizione interna); 

Tuttavia ho usato la stessa miscela per trattare i tre 'flu' (ipoteticamente covid-19) che ho contratto nei tre anni 2020, 2021 e 2022.  

In particolare, tutte le volte che ho avuto necessità di soffiare il naso (per secrezione mucosa, causa rinorrea) ho successivamente trattato entrambi naso e gola con la miscela spray; direttamente sulla mucosa orale e indirettamente nella mucosa nasale inspirando la soluzione preventivamente nebulizzata sul dorso della mano;

Nei primi due casi (2020 e 2021) ho spento il 'flu' in mezza giornata (in entrambe le situazioni non ero vaccinato); nel terzo caso ho spento il 'flu' in 2 giorni scarsi di trattamento (ero già stato vaccinato con le 2+1 dosi perchè obbligatorie in Italia specialmente per chi era iscritto all'Ordine dei Biologi e comunque per chi aveva raggiunto l'età di 50+ anni  
( OMS - Piano vaccini anti Covid-19

I flu precedenti al 2020 (circa 60 flu nell'arco di 70 anni di età, a ciclicità annuale) mi avevano sempre impegnato in circa tre giorni di pre- crisi, tre giorni di crisi a letto e tre giorni di post- crisi (convalescenza) per un totale di mai meno di quattro-cinque giorni di parziale compromissione dell'autonomia; 

Nelle mie tre individuali esperienze, confrontate con tutte le pregresse, l'immunità sembra essere stata quasi immediata, senza alcuna compromissione dell'autonomia.

Se (beninteso, se e solo se) le future risposte individuali del mio sistema immunitario alle future probabili ondate epidemiche da flu opp sars saranno equivalenti alle tre citate sopra, per quello che mi riguarda questa problematica si è chiusa a far data dal 20 marzo 2020, indipendentemente dalle future disponibilità di vaccini anti-flu anti-sars. 

Qui l'ipotetico meccanismo di azione.

I coronavirus (come i virus flu a causa di orthomyxoviridae) si duplicano nelle mucose orale e nasale; il capside virale ( e.g. Chung-ke Chang et al. Antiviral Res. 2014 Mar. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24418573/ ) in presenza di alcool probabilmente si apre per denaturazione proteica e questo consente a un sistema immunitario fisiologicamente attivo di leggere sia il capside (che dovrebbe comunque conservare la struttura primaria) sia parti della sua metameccanica molecolare interna;

# life; apropos of #1or2achoos from Wuhan ...

Messrs. A, B, C & D state - between the lines, undertrack, at least a year late -

Commissione DuPre (Dubbio e Precauzione ) live streaming 8/12/2021 


that the official anti covid19 apparatus it appears to be a big, very big mess (i.e. 'un grande pastrokkio') ...

probably Messrs. A, B, C & D could be accused of being thieves, sexual maniacs, they could block their career and make their spouses do twenty years of precariousness ...

their future pensioners' allowance could be taken away or reduced ... 

as well as more ...

could save in short-term, perhaps, the world from this big trouble (i.e.  'grande impiccio').

Here there are three simple questions: 

(a) Why in anticipation of the 'great tea trolley disaster' (after SARS appearance in Nov 2002, Guangdong, China; after MERS in Nov 2012, Gedda, Saudi Arabia) spray forms of antiviral drugs (e.g. remdesivir,  remdesivir like) have not been prepared?


(b) Why in the meantime, hitech reusable anti-viral anti-bacterial fabrics not been studied and tested?

(c) Does it seem serious to propose a vaccine - to treat every six/eight months eight billion people inside a window of 15/30 days - to confine (sic) a mutant virus (one mutation every week) that is transmitted by air?

# life: apropos of '1or2achoos' (from Wuhan), 'Shame on us', by Jay.

<< The year 2003 was an ominous one for emerging infectious diseases. A pair of deadly influenza strains had leapt from birds to humans in Hong Kong and the Netherlands. And a new coronavirus was spreading around the world causing a mysterious illness that became known as severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS. Many experts feared they were watching the start of a global pandemic. Fortunately, the worst-case scenario never materialized. But it was a close-enough call for Robert Webster, a leading authority on avian influenza, to start urging scientists and policymakers to prepare for the next outbreak. One of his top recommendations: develop and stockpile drugs that target a wide range of viral pathogens. Drug researchers did not heed his call. After the SARS threat subsided, interest evaporated — and the world paid the price. “The scientific community really should have developed universal antivirals against SARS,” says Webster, now an emeritus member of St Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee. “Then we would have had something in the stockpile for the emergence of COVID,” which is a caused by SARS-CoV-2, a close relative of the virus responsible for SARS. Another warning shot came in 2012, when Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) — caused by another relative of SARS-CoV-2 — started spreading through a handful of countries. Still, the drug shelves remained largely bare — a fact that Jay Bradner, president of the Novartis Institutes for BioMedical Research in Cambridge, Massachusetts, regards as “regrettable”. >>️

# life; the hypothesis of early treatment (at home) of the virus sars-cov-2

Figure 1 - Proposed maladaptive hyperinflammatory response to SARS-CoV-2 infection (Perico N, Cortinovis M, Suter F, Remuzzi G. (2022))

<< A few observational studies have tested NSAIDs [non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs] (especially  relatively selective COX-2 inhibitors), often as part of multipharmacological protocols, for early outpatient treatment of COVID-19. The findings from these studies are promising and point to a crucial role of NSAIDs for the at-home management of people with initial COVID-19 symptoms. >>

<< Celecoxib, ibuprofen, and nimesulide should be avoided in children younger than 12 years, whereas aspirin should be taken only under prescription and at the dose recommended by the family doctor. >>️

# gst: apropos of 1or2achoos (e.g. from Wuhan), the dynamics of turbulence in a fluid puff

<< Turbulence is everywhere -- in the movement of the wind, the ocean waves and even magnetic fields in space. It can also be seen in more transient phenomena, like smoke billowing from a chimney, or a cough. (..) Understanding this latter type of turbulence -- called puff turbulence -- is important not only for the advancement of fundamental science, but also for practical health and environmental measures, >>️

<< The very nature of turbulence is chaotic, so it's hard to predict, (..) Puff turbulence, which occurs when the ejection of a gas or liquid into the environment is disrupted, rather than continuous, has more complicated characteristics, so it's even more challenging to study. But it's of vital importance -- especially right now for understanding airborne transmission of viruses like SARS-CoV-2. >>️ Marco Edoardo Rosti. 

<< The new model, (..) includes how minute fluctuations within the puff behave, and how both large-scale and small-scale dynamics are impacted by changes in temperature and humidity. (..) at cooler temperatures (15°C or lower), (AA) model deviated from the classical model for turbulence. >>️

<< In the classical model, turbulence reigns supreme -- determining how all the little swirls and eddies within the flow behave. But once temperatures dipped, buoyancy started to have a greater impact. >>

<< The effect of buoyancy was initially very unexpected. It's a completely new addition to the theory of turbulent puffs,>> Marco Edoardo Rosti. ️

Apropos of 'homoclinic orbits' ...

<< the reinjection of the departing trajectories in the vicinity of an unstable fixed point of the saddle-focus type [..] is frequently associated with the emergence of orbits of a rather exceptional type known as 'homoclinic orbits'. These are trajectories that leave the fixed point but come back to it; in other words, they tend to the same limit when time t goes to +∞ as well as to -∞ . [..]. Homoclinic orbits are very sensitive to variation of parameter [parms] values and are generally destroyed if the [parms] do not satisfy a strict equality (in the terminology of [..] they are structurally unstable). However, for nearby values of the [parms] their disappearance leaves a very rich structure of orbit in phase space, some of which behave chaotically. >>️

# life: a tiny pill against two unfavorable hypotheses on serial coronavirus pandemics - to avoid the socio-economic psycho-behavioral fallout caused by 1or2achoos (e.g. from Wuhan)

<< Pfizer Inc. said it has begun human safety testing of a new pill to treat the coronavirus that could be used at the first sign of illness. If it succeeds in trials, the pill could be prescribed early in an infection to block viral replication before patients get very sick. The drug binds to an enzyme called a protease (Pfizer’s oral protease inhibitor, code-named PF-07321332,) to keep the virus from replicating. >>

<< In lab tests, it worked against many coronaviruses, including the original SARS virus and MERS. Additionally, the coronavirus protease doesn’t mutate much, which means the therapy is likely to work equally well against numerous variant strains, >>

# life: they ( NIH, Ralph Baric’s Univ.of North Carolina lab, Wuhan Instit.of Virology ) never created a supervirus, anzicheforse ...

<< 
In May, the coronavirus researcher Ralph Baric found himself at the center of the debate over gain-of-function research ( https://www.technologyreview.com/2021/06/29/1027290/gain-of-function-risky-bat-virus-engineering-links-america-to-wuhan ), in which scientists engineer new properties into existing viruses. And during a congressional hearing, Senator Rand Paul implied that the National Institutes of Health had been funding such research at both the Wuhan Institute of Virology and Baric’s University of North Carolina lab, and that the two labs had been collaborating to make “superviruses”. Baric released a statement clarifying the research in question did not qualify as gain-of-function, and none of the SARS-like coronaviruses he’d used in the experiments were closely related to SARS-CoV-2, yet that did little to quell questions about the role his research may have played in furthering scientists’ ability to modify coronaviruses in potentially dangerous ways. Baric believes such research is essential to the development of vaccines and other countermeasures against emerging viruses, a project he has been engaged in for more than 20 years. His research laid the groundwork for the first approved anti-covid drug and helped speed the development of the mRNA vaccines that have proved so pivotal. 
MIT Technology Review recently asked Baric to explain what constitutes a gain-of-function experiment, why such research exists, and whether it could have played any role in the pandemic. Read the full interview. ( https://www.technologyreview.com/2021/07/26/1030043/gain-of-function-research-coronavirus-ralph-baric-vaccines )

# life: aprops of 1or2 achoo! from Wuhan (SARS-CoV-2), a mask build of 'nanofibers randomly land on a collector to create a sort of non-woven mesh'

<< Recently, students from BYU’s College of Engineering teamed up with Nanos Foundation to develop a nanofiber membrane that can be sandwiched between the cloth pieces in a homemade mask. While today’s typical cloth mask might block fewer than 50% of virus particles, the membrane — which can be made using simple, inexpensive materials — will be able to block 90 to 99% of particles, increasing effectiveness while preserving breathability. The membranes are made through a process called “electrospinning,” which involves dissolving a polymer plastic in a solution and then using an electrical current to move a droplet of the polymer downward through a needle. As the droplet accelerates, it stretches into a very small fiber that retains a static charge. >>

<< Those nanofibers randomly land on a collector to create a sort of non-woven mesh, >> Katie Varela.

Christie Allen. With innovative nanofiber membranes, cloth masks’  efficacy goes up to 99%. Oct 21, 2020.
