Explore the three main ways viruses can be driven to extinction, and dig into the possibility of COVID-19 dying out.
--
Viruses are wildly successful organisms. There are about 100 million times as many virus particles on Earth as there are stars in the observable universe. Even so, viruses can and do go extinct. So, what is the possibility of the virus that causes COVID-19 going extinct? Explore the three main ways viruses can be driven to extinction.

I love how the second option was simply destroying our entire population and the third was something we should have expected to hear.

@jayare6804 Год назад

First option was not destroying population; rather, it was limiting the number of hosts for the virus. While population destruction is one way to limit hosts, other ways includes lock downs, social distancing, masking, etc. Limiting availability limits hosts.

@crazy_pyromaniac Год назад

Many scientists think that viruses are not living organisms because they cannot reproduce by themselves, and instead require the cells of another species to reproduce. But I think that they do this simply because they don’t need to evolve that ability, and they should be considered living organisms. Also, those rules were just made in the first place by observing traits that all “living” organisms had in common.

No. The video points out that many viruses, including SARS-COVID have non human hosts which serve as a reservoir. In addition, a strict isolation is quite literally impossible. We need essential services like groceries, medical care, and so forth, so not everyone has the luxury of isolating. And of course, there are many who have and will continue to fight any seeming attacks on their freedom. So no, it wouldn't work.

@varyolla435 Год назад

Covid has become = "endemic". This means it is now constantly out there causing periodic outbreaks in places. As such it is not being tracked as it once was since vaccines are widely available and people can still self-test themselves - you can purchase the kits OTC - making tracking new infections difficult. So based upon what is seen "herd immunity" has made its impact. Case numbers are far less than what they once were because so many vaccinated. If that changes then the government will probably once again reemphasize mitigation measures. For now we simply have "to live with it" much as we do for say Influenza. 🤨

@valerius-mh6ux Год назад

Is there any chance by which coinfection of both strains possible

@OldOneTooth Год назад

Yes, and we even have hybrids. Remember you get infected with an evolving population of the virus, where mutations occur each cycle. Their genome is more a psuedogenome of the most common genome infecting you. Some may even rely on infecting the same cell getting a functional copy of a gene from each other. Some viruses don't produce every thing they need to reproduce, requiring a second virus to infect the host cell.

@varyolla435 Год назад

Bacteria as an example replicate via "binary fission". So a bacteria splits itself to create what is a clone. Viruses however are unable to replicate themselves directly. They rather require "hosts" to infect and then use the host to generate copies of themselves - making them "parasitical". So this means that whenever a virus infects a cell in someone to cause that cell to make copies of itself = the genetics of the person plays a role. If the person/cell is somehow "different" compared to others then copies of the virus generated might reflect those differences. It will still be a virus on par to the original - BUT - it may contain some "morphological variance". When enough variance occurs in the outer "shell" of the virus - which is what antibodies are generated to match up to = new strains are formed. Moral of the story: if there is "some" alteration in the internal makeup of the virus then a new "genotype" is formed. Yet because the antibodies only react to the shape of the virus' exterior shell they still work against it. If however enough mutation occurs on that outer shell then antibodies will no longer matchup as they once did. When that happens = a "new strain" is considered to have formed - aka a new "serotype". 🤨

_"Zoonotic"_ = learn it..... Moral: like about 75% of viral infectious diseases which afflict man Covid is a zoonotic pathogen. As such it now exists = in other species besides man. So no - Covid is not going anywhere as it now has multiple reservoirs in nature to sustain the virus. Our window for elimination was early on when the first variant appeared. We had no vaccines then however and when they came online = millions refused them - thus allowing the virus to spread and spread mutating as it went until it "jumped" into other species as well. All we can do is to try to limit its' presence much as we do for Influenza etc.. The toothpaste is out of the tube and we cannot put it back in.....

Sorry but not going to happen. The virus is "zoonotic" = meaning it can infect multiple species - and already has. So the best we can do is to continue to vaccinate against it and maintain mitigation measures when local incidence rises much as we do for other "endemic" viral pathogens. As an aside. Almost 75% of viral pathogens which afflict man are of zoonotic origin. We therefore can seek to limit its impact + hope it does not further mutate - but we can not eradicate it entirely as we did with say Smallpox. 🤔

@varyolla435 Год назад

You know firefighters wear nomex clothing to protect themselves. Even then if caught in a conflagration = they can still burn to death. So with enough exposure even vaccinated people + people who take precautions can still acquire the infectious disease in question. Key word: _"exposure."_ Moral of the story: vaccination helps reduce morbidity -------> which reduces local incidence -------> which reduces your chances of being exposed = which determines if you get infected or not. So people who live in areas where you have lots of unvaccinated and hence incidence is high are correspondingly at a greater risk to subsequently become infected at some point compared to ones who live where vaccination rates are high and local incidence is much lower. It may not be rocket science = but it is still science. 🤔

First we need a vaccine that works. What's out now is I have no idea. What vaccine do you know of when you take it you still get the virus 🤔

@francis_n Год назад

@@apara2005 You can still get vaccinated and get a virus. What people don't seem to understand about vaccines is that no vaccine can guarantee that you won't get infected. No vaccine in history has ever been capable of this. What vaccines do is they use a low 'dose' of the actual virus (being overly simplistic here) to train the body to produce antibodies. This is so that IF and when the body gets infected, it can mount a quicker response against the illness, reducing infection time and severity. One can still become infected, but the idea is you fight it off quicker. Of course, the human body is very complicated and like all medical interventions there is NEVER 100% efficacy. Every vaccine that has ever been successful in history at eradicating dangerous illness such as smallpox, for example, was not 100%. It only needed to be successful up to a certain amount in the population to reduce the number of viruses around, so they can no longer spread. The point is if enough of the population of people are vaccinated, then we stand a better chance of eradicating this pandemic or any others to come. If no one vaccinates, then the virus has no reason to ever disappear unless it accidentally mutates itself out of existence, which is a gamble we can't afford to wait for.

@francis_n Год назад

It's the same with masks. Mask do not stop you from getting infected, but it puts up a simple barrier that reduces the chances of infection. Every intervention used during this pandemic, be it lock-downs, masks, vaccines, whether we debate them or not had one goal: To reduce the infection, not stop it. Nothing can completely stop infections, but reductions give us a fighting chance.

Efficacy rate has to be pretty absolute for the vaccine alone to wipe out a virus.

@varyolla435 Год назад

No. Vaccine efficacy is only one half of the puzzle with the other half being = "zoonotic" vs "human specific". If a viral pathogen is zoonotic - as about 75% of them are = then eradication is impossible as the virus can survive in other species. It then despite mass vaccination might eventually "jump" back into human populations which are constantly in flux to repeat its transmission. If however a virus is human specific as some are = then those with a vaccine with sufficient efficacy can potentially be eradicated - assuming everyone avails themselves to vaccination. Yet as recent history shows that is sadly not very likely. Smallpox was human specific and that along with a concerted multi-year global vaccination effort - buoyed in places by laws passed by affected countries to mandate vaccination - allowed it to eventually be eradicated. p.s. - Measles coincidentally by 2000 was also well on its way out. Yet the rise of the anti-vaccine movement in the late-90's caused by the criminal Wakefield upset that apple cart such that it is now once again endemic in places affecting millions worldwide each year as people shortsightedly refuse to vaccinate. Polio is almost gone from the world as well - IF - the anti-vaxxers once again do not screw that up. 🤔

I’ve gotten both COVID types out of 3 time I got COVID. I’m still not sure if my immune system is super good against COVID now, or my immune system just sucks

First is if you are repeatedly catching an infectious disease = clearly you are not taking proper precautions. After all you can not be infected without first = being exposed. With that said. Immunological reaction is complicated and involves lots of variables. Most infections will not yield the fabled "lifetime immunity". In actuality any antibody generation following an infection is typically transitory with how long it lasts depending upon things like the severity of the illness + the "immunogenicity" of the organism + and if it has mutated in the interim. The last part is important. If you are exposed to an "older variant" of a virus which has since mutated to make it sufficiently different that antibodies generated against the earlier version do not match up as well + or it has become far more infectious such that it can generate exponentially more copies of itself inside you = your previous immunity may not hold up. This is why booster shots are required to stimulate even more antibodies in you and why vaccines are sometimes reformulated to try to keep up with any mutative changes in the organisms. So lots of reasons I'm afraid. The best defense is try not to be exposed where possible. 🤔
