Yep, this is why I will continue to wear a mask when indoors with other people. Masking, distancing, hand washing, and isolation when sick; simple behavioral changes that have already made two strains of influenza go extinct.

Not everyone has had Covid. And every thing is always changing. It’s because of research like this, which came out around Feb 2024, and lots of other research on post-viral syndromes, that I will continue to be cautious. And recommend to anyone that is willing to listen that they can significantly reduce, even nearly eliminate the chances of getting an URI by taking four or five simple, inexpensive measures.
AFAIK the earliest time this was written into a story was in The Journey to the West. Which is the story of Sun Wu Gong, The Monkey King who is by some considered the earliest ‘superhero’.
I suspect both methods will be necessary. Step A - clean up amyloid. Step B stop excess amyloid production.
I’ve been to the Everglades; can confirm.
And methods have been worked out to load passengers smoothly and efficiently. Alternate sides, every other row, if I recall correctly, leaves plenty of space and time. But nobody uses this.
“At that time, experts speculated that precautions taken to stop the spread of COVID-19 — such as masking and social distancing — had not only driven the overall number of flu cases to historic lows but may have completely snuffed out this type of flu virus. “.
Handwashing, masking, distancing, and isolation when sick were simple yet effective behavioral measures taken by the population of the world which actively caused this extinction of the Yamagata lineage. We did it, collectively folks. Congratulations!
Smae!, I’m like, “of course it stays on, Darling”. <3
Asimov’s and Analog magazines still exist. Short stories, not book length, tho’.
How?

Subtle, tho’ anatomically improbable for a frog. It stands as a direction away from total meme trek-ification.
Dood, you effin’ called it! That’s the rule.
Thanks for this. It’s concerning the similarities they see between Fagradalsfjall 2021, and the seismic activity they recorded a month before that eruption. And certainly justifies the declaration of a state of emergency.
Thanks for asking. I was using incorrect terminology. It’s the Influenza B/Yamagata lineage which has probably gone extinct. According to this paper in The Lancet : https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanmic/article/PIIS2666-5247(24)00066-1/fulltext
The B/Victoria lineage persists. B/Yamagata has not been confirmed since March 2020 according to this paper : https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9524051/
This paper from Nature goes into it a bit more, in particular wrt implications for vaccines: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41579-021-00642-4
