Seeing people screaming at the the cat to not stands up is very funny
Anyone who thinks adults can’t enjoy kid’s cartoons can come fight me in the back alley of an ikea.
The evolution of virulence depends on the biology and interplay of infection and transmission, writes Joel O. Wertheim, PhD, associate professor in the Division of Infectious Diseases and Global Public Health at UC San Diego School of Medicine, in the journal Science.
Virulence is the degree to which a pathogen weakens, sickens or kills its host. More virulent pathogens may be less transmissible because in killing its host, it reduces the opportunity for transmission. But both virulence and transmissibility are forever linked: To maintain or increase infectiousness, a pathogen must be virulent.
In his Science article, Wertheim describes the emergence of a more virulent and transmissible variant of HIV that has spread to 102 known cases, mostly in the Netherlands. These findings, he says, have relevance to SARS-CoV-2 and the COVID-19 pandemic. It’s possible that the coronavirus is evolving toward a more benign, highly transmissible infection, similar to common cold viruses, but that outcome is not guaranteed.
SARS-CoV-2 has displayed an extraordinary ability to rapidly alter its transmissibility and virulence, and how those two factors interact over the coming months will dictate whether SARS-CoV-2 will benignly fade away or continue to be an evolving, global public health threat.

Idk why but in my head the Trogs live inside those rocks…they have tiny apartments in there- it’s like a whole city

I played a drinking game while reading the sun and the star last night. I had to stop on chapter 12 because I didn’t wanna be to far gone while finishing the book. Was a fun read tho. I enjoyed the book. Dm if any of y’all want spoilers
