| LjL | de-facto, whoops, this time when i was jabbed i forgot to keep the cotton ball pressed for a while | 00:49 |
| de-facto | huh? | 00:52 |
| de-facto | LjL, against which variant of COVID is this years vaccine? | 00:54 |
| LjL | de-facto, JN.1 or KP.2, but i think most of Europe only gets JN.1 | 00:56 |
| LjL | US gets some KP.2 | 00:56 |
| de-facto | interesting, i dont know which variants currently are circulating | 01:01 |
| LjL | de-facto, KP.3 or something further | 01:06 |
| de-facto | https://github.com/EU-ECDC/Respiratory_viruses_weekly_data/blob/main/data/variants.csv | 01:09 |
| LjL | nice file | 01:12 |
| LjL | old me would have made a Brainstorm plugin for that | 01:12 |
| de-facto | https://erviss.org/ | 01:18 |
| de-facto | "Between weeks 42/2024 and 43/2024, 10 countries and areas reported sufficiently complete information to permit calculation of the relative frequency of specific variants. Among these countries and areas, the median proportion (range) of all nationally sequenced virus isolates detected, that are a current or former variant of concern or variant of interest" | 01:19 |
| de-facto | "KP.3: 58% (37%–80% from 10 countries and areas)." | 01:19 |
| de-facto | "BA.2.86: 9% (0%–58% from 9 countries and areas). Note: JN.1 isolates are included in BA.2.86." | 01:19 |
| de-facto | "The most common SARS-CoV-2 lineages in GISAID for the European Region in October were: KP.3.1.1 (46%); XEC (17%); JN.1 (8%); MC.1 (5%); and KP.3.1 (4%) (n=17,169)." | 01:19 |
| de-facto | https://www.ecdc.europa.eu/en/publications-data/communicable-disease-threats-report-2-8-november-2024-week-45 | 01:24 |
| de-facto | https://covariants.org/variants/24C.Omicron | 01:29 |
| de-facto | LjL, looks like JN.1 (24A) and KP.3 (24C) share a lot of mutations https://covariants.org/shared-mutations | 01:34 |
| LjL | de-facto, more than KP.2 shares with KP.3? | 01:34 |
| LjL | KP.2 isn't listed there | 01:35 |
| LjL | i would naively assume KP.2 is closer to KP.3 than JN.1 is, but the EMA said a JN.1 vaccine is fine | 01:35 |
| de-facto | not sure about KP.2 but i also would think that | 01:36 |
| de-facto | yeah looks like JN.1 and KP.3 share a lot of mutations, hence the vaccine probably covers both i guess? | 01:36 |
| de-facto | i mean yeah covers both for sure, but also should fit well | 01:37 |
| LjL | wow. | 01:37 |
| LjL | i just realized... i don't know whether they gave me Pfizer or something else | 01:37 |
| LjL | de-facto, yeah but i just wonder why the US FDA decided they wanted manufacturers to make a KP.2 vaccine. i guess at the time, KP.2 was prevalent, but then the question is would KP.2 or JN.1 be better | 01:37 |
| LjL | (now that KP.3 is prevalent) | 01:37 |
| LjL | even though yes, i assume either will be mostly alright | 01:38 |
| de-facto | KP.3 also is already replaced by a "recombinant" | 01:39 |
| de-facto | LjL, should be written in your documents? | 01:39 |
| LjL | nah this is stuff that's too recent, my documents have been mostly dormant | 01:40 |
| LjL | <de-facto> KP.3 also is already replaced by a "recombinant" ← yeah the prevalent thing just changes way too quickly to keep up with vaccines even mRNA | 01:40 |
| LjL | did you see that the FDA still recommends a spring boost for vulnerables | 01:40 |
| de-facto | yeah idk what to think about that | 01:41 |
| LjL | de-facto, apparently KP.2 == JN.1.11.1.2 | 01:44 |
| LjL | i guess that's why it isn't listed separately on https://covariants.org/shared-mutations | 01:44 |
| LjL | but then i really don't understand why they decided to make a KP.2 vaccine in the first place | 01:45 |
| de-facto | ok so the last three are JN.1 KP.2 and KP.3 then? | 01:45 |
| LjL | there's only two mutations between JN.1 and JN.1.11.1...? | 01:45 |
| LjL | de-facto, almost, although i found that KP.2 == JN.1.11.1.2 while the one listed is JN.1.11.1 without the .2 | 01:45 |
| de-facto | https://outbreak.info/situation-reports/kp.3*%20(kp.3.x)?xmin=2024-05-09&xmax=2024-11-09&loc&selected | 01:46 |
| de-facto | KP.3.1.1 | 01:47 |
| LjL | i get 404 no such key | 01:48 |
| LjL | i think it's Firefox being dumb with %20 stuff | 01:48 |
| LjL | i can't make it work | 01:48 |
| de-facto | https://outbreak.info/situation-reports/kp.2*%20(kp.2.x)?xmin=2024-05-09&xmax=2024-11-09&loc&selected | 01:49 |
| de-facto | LjL, then start from the main variants page maybe via click? https://outbreak.info/situation-reports | 01:50 |
| LjL | yeah, doing that | 01:51 |
| LjL | anyway, it is what it is, it's not like we can get a different vaccine | 01:51 |
| de-facto | i think its fine | 01:52 |
