Why does soap clean? (Washing your hands with soap removes noroviruses. Remember that.)

Why does soap clean?
Soap is a type of surfactant. Surfactants all have a similar chemical structure and are able to reduce the surface tension of water. They consist of a water-loving (hydrophilic) and a fat-loving (lipophilic) part.

When soap is dissolved in water, the water-loving molecular heads align themselves towards the water, and the fat-loving molecular tails bind the grease.

The actual washing motion, the rubbing, breaks down the loosened dirt into tiny droplets of grease, which are then encapsulated by the soap molecules in the form of small spheres (micelles). The result is an oil-in-water mixture.

This highlights the two crucial properties of soap: Firstly, it acts as an intermediary between water and oil. Secondly, by reducing the surface tension of the water, it allows the water and soap to penetrate to the dirt-covered surface of fibers or skin and wet it.

🍎↔️🍐 @marcveld.bsky.social is referring to the article, you are referring to a study by Al without mentioning it.🤢

The article is an opinion piece masquerading as journalism. While this is typical of these sorts of trashy publications, what concerned me was that they highlighted my research specifically to push their message.

Consequently, I feel like I ought to respond.

This is important, comprehensive information. (UNICEF) ⬇️

Measles infects the respiratory tract and then spreads throughout the body. Symptoms include a high fever, cough, runny nose and a rash all over the body.
Most deaths from measles are from complications related to the disease.

Complications can include ❗️blindness, encephalitis - an infection causing brain swelling and potentially brain
damage, severe diarrhoea and dehydration, ear infections and severe respiratory problems including pneumonia.

One very rare, but lethal complication that can arise in measles-infected people is a specific type of encephalitis
called subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE), which affects one in 100,000 cases. This viral infection ❗️lies dormant in the body for six to eight years before
neurological symptoms start❗️.

These include loss of motor skills - like the ability to walk, loss of hearing, loss of vision, and brain damage. The disease often
progresses to a coma and death. There is no cure.

#Measles is incredibly dangerous for pregnant women and can result in pre-term birth and low birth weight.

Complications are most common in children under five. They are particularly likely in children who are malnourished, especially those without enough vitamin A or those who have a weak immune system.
However, having adequate nutrition, vitamin A or no pre-existing conditions is not a guarantee against developing measles complications.

⚠️Anyone who is not vaccinated is at risk.

Treatment
❗️There is no specific treatment for measles. Caregiving should focus on relieving symptoms, making the person comfortable and preventing complications.
Drinking enough water and treatments for dehydration can replace fluids lost to diarrhoea or vomiting.
Doctors may use antibiotics to treat pneumonia and ear and eye infections.

Prevention
Community-wide #vaccination is the most effective way to prevent measles.

⚠️❗️All children must be vaccinated with
two doses of the measles vaccine. The vaccine is safe, effective and inexpensive.❗️

"Ich kann mir nur vorstellen, wie erschreckend es sein muss, sich in einer Remission zu befinden und plötzlich zu glauben, dass eine kürzlich aufgetretene Krankheit schlafende Krebszellen im Körper wiedererweckt. Dieser Stress selbst kann das Risiko eines Krebsrückfalls erhöhen!" Dr. Jenn Dowd

"One reason I wanted to revisit this paper with my more critical lens is because I heard from breast cancer survivors who were really panicked by these headlines. I can only imagine how terrifying it might be to be in remission and suddenly imagine that a recent illness is reawakening sleeping cancer cells in your body. That stress itself might increases the risk of cancer recurrence!"

No, I prefer "immunity gap" (explained by @marcveld.bsky.social). Immunity debt has been misunderstood too often, although @apsmunro.bsky.social explained it very well here. ⬇️

Screenshot
"Non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic suppressed not only transmission of SARS-CoV-2, but also many other endemic pathogens worldwide. Many of these pathogens would typically follow a seasonal circulation pattern, with annual resurgent epidemic waves largely influenced by levels of population immunity. This immunity wanes over time due to factors such as diminishing levels of specific antibodies, the birth of immunologically naive infants, and genetic mutations in the pathogen which diminish the efficacy of existing immunity. This slow reduction in population immunity leads to periodic increases in disease incidence until enough immunity is reestablished to suppress further transmission."

☹️Trevor Bedford had an explanatory 🧵 on Twitter that "reads differently." What's more, at the time of the interview, Omicron hadn't yet appeared.

$High R0, waning immunity and antigenic drift together suggest substantial seasonal circulation with a speculative guess of 20% or 30% of the population infected each year (often referred to as the "attack rate"). This is higher than flu due to R0 of ~6 rather than ~2. 13/17 At endemicity, circulation does not necessarily translate to disease burden. Based on robust vaccine effectiveness against severe outcomes, my speculative guess would be that infection to fatality rate (IFR) drops 10-fold from its original ~0.6% to a flu-like ~0.06%. 14/17 Together, this would suggest perhaps 40k or 100k deaths per year in the US from COVID at endemic state. Most infections would be relatively mild (just like flu), but there's enough of them that even a small fraction of severe outcomes add up. 15/17$ This rapid increase across provinces is concerning and suggests that Omicron is outcompeting Delta in the current context in South Africa. I'd hope for modeling work using this S dropout data to better quantify relative fitness of Omicron vs Delta in the following days.
