Coronavirus: China says disease 'curbed' in Wuhan and Hubei

 

[MikelArteta]

Are BC and Ontario even trying to fight the outbreak? Ya’ll gettin hit It seems like everyday, the Quebec government is opening Covid 19 specific clinics and quarantine centers.

Nope not at all

Same bumbling Ontario remember Sars?

Can’t trust everything China says

but If is true it’s smart what Italy is doing then

America, Canada and uk will suffer the most because of their lax policies

Europeans, Africans have different immune systems, and Neanderthals are partly to thank

European, Africans have different immune system, thanks to Neanderthals.
It's long been clear that people from different parts of the world differ in their susceptibility to developing infections as well as chronic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. Now, two studies reported in Cell on October 20 show that those differences in disease susceptibility can be traced in large part to differences at the genetic level directing the way the immune systems of people with European and African ancestry are put together.

The researchers also found that differences between populations have been selected for over time because they conferred advantages to people facing distinct health challenges in the places where they lived. As a result, according to the new evidence, people of African ancestry generally show stronger immune responses than Europeans do.

The discovery suggests that European populations have been selected to display reduced immune responses since our ancestors first made their way out of Africa. Intriguingly, the immune systems of Europeans were partly shaped by the introduction of new genetic variants through interbreeding between some of our early European ancestors and Neanderthals.

"Our findings show that population differences in transcriptional responses to immune activation are widespread, and that they are mainly accounted for by genetic variants that differ in their frequencies between human populations," said Lluis Quintana-Murci of Institut Pasteur and CNRS in Paris, France, who led one of the two studies.

"I was expecting to see ancestry-associated differences in immune response but not such a clear trend towards an overall stronger response to infection among individuals of African descent," added Luis Barreiro of the University of Montreal and the CHU Sainte-Justine in Canada, senior author of the other study.

Quintana-Murci and colleagues used RNA-sequencing to characterize the way that immune cells, known as primary monocytes, derived from 200 people of self-reported African or European ancestry would respond to attack by a bacteria or a virus. The researchers detected many differences in the activity of particular genes in those immune cells both within and between populations. They also discovered that changes in a single gene encoding an important immune receptor lead to decreased inflammation only in Europeans.

The researchers found strong evidence of selection on genes that control the immune response. Their evidence also shows that Europeans "borrowed" some key regulatory variants from Neanderthals, which in particular affect the way their immune systems respond to viral challenges.

Barreiro and colleagues took a similar approach to test for the effects of African versus European ancestry on changes in the activity of immune cells. His group focused on another type of immune cell known as primary macrophages and their response to live bacterial pathogens.

The researchers infected macrophages derived from 80 African and 95 European individuals with either Listeria monocytogenes or Salmonella typhimurium to look for differences in response and related them to ancestry. Their studies identified thousands of genes showing population differences in transcriptional response to infection. They also found that African ancestry is associated with a stronger inflammatory response, which limited the growth of bacteria.

In many cases, the activity of particular genes was tied to a single genetic variant, with strong differences in frequency between European and African populations. The researchers also observed the signature of past selection on those genes and additional evidence for an important role of genetic variants passed on to modern humans from Neanderthals. "This strongly suggests that a diminished inflammatory response has conferred a selective advantage to European populations,"Quintana-Murci said.

"The genetic and molecular basis of ancestry-related differences in disease susceptibility has been a mystery," Barreiro said. "These results provide a first description of differences in immune response and associated genetic basis that might explain differences in susceptibility to disease between people of African and European ancestry. More generally, our results demonstrate how historical selective events continue to shape human phenotypic diversity today, including for traits that are key to controlling infection."

The researchers noted that the two studies made strikingly similar findings despite the fact that they focused on different types of immune cells. They say that more work is now needed to better understand the role of environmental and other factors, including epigenetic changes, in the differences they've observed.

Wow we're at the blame the jews stage. Nice

Facts are facts, white boy. Some of us are not brainwashed by coincidences. @HarlemHottie This poster is white ^^^ Keep that in mind. You know the same race of people who brought diseases historically which disseminated the Native American indigenous population through their own failure to have adequate hygiene and dietary standards. That race never accepts responsibility for shyt. It’s always “the minorities” even though research has shown different. Roanoke, Black Plague, Bubonic Plague, Black Death, Great Plague of Milan, Plague of London, Smallpox, Great Plague of Vienna etc etc

My young chick all excited about having interviews lined up.. talm bout

: I got a medical receptionist interview but it’s real early Friday morning can I spend the night Thursday so I can get a ride with you

:oh arrrd, that’s wsup girl.. Yeaa that’s cool, you can stay over

: I also got another interview I’m going to tomorrow. It’s a hiring event.. with a bunch of companies, a lot of people gonna be there



I’m about to tell her ass sumn came up but I can call her a lyft

Not surprising. Africans have been able to survive some of the deadliest diseases(do NOT get offended Africans this is actually a prop/achievement) in Africa but also Africa has birthed many successful human species including modern humans(homo-sapiens) meanwhile human species evolved outside of Africa(Neanderthals) died out.

Extremely disappointed with the Canadian government response at all levels so far.

They've discouraged the use of masks, promoted large group gatherings, did not restrict travel, do not screen travelers when they arrive, are expecting people to self-quarantine when they come back (which they don't), reject testing requests at the beginning stage of the virus, spread misinformation about community spreading when it has happened in multiple countries and announce points of contact days after confirming a infection

My wife is a nurse. Works a rehab/long term care center. Sis in law as well. And we're trying to have a kid so...

lol, damn, I didn't even read that part.


anyways, I'm pretty sure I've been in contact with the virus by now. Just yesterday morning I saw 4 people with mask. all east Asians. last week, one sat across from me with a mask this morning I saw another one with a masked.

where you live? I see toilet paper stocked as normal everywhere

Welp...when by Publix today and damn near all the toilet paper was gone
