> By both Ct value and antigen concentration measurements, median viral loads rose from the day of symptom onset and peaked on the fourth/fifth day. Ag RDT sensitivity estimates were 30.0-60.0% on the first day, 59.2-74.8% on the third day, and 80.0-93.3% on the fourth day of symptoms.
> In 74 influenza A PCR-positive individuals (55.4% women; median 35.0y), median influenza viral loads peaked on the second day of symptoms.
> In a highly immune adult population, median SARS-CoV-2 viral loads peaked around the fourth day of symptoms. Influenza A viral loads peaked soon after symptom onset. These findings have implications for ongoing use of Ag RDTs for COVID-19 and influenza.
This would be done yesterday if it wasn’t for the fact my server shat itself and I only further euthanized it.
Anyways, 1.2 is here! You can now download it here !

Great, a rat is using my radio coax to climb my house. Will have to secure that coax (recently routed that out of my house, it's just sitting there right now.) #rat
In meinem Umfeld ist das aktuell mal wieder ein Thema. Ich kann dazu leider nichts beitragen, habe „nur“ mein #Bauchgefühl, aber alleine diesem zu gehorchen oder das uneingeschränkt empfehlen möchte ich nicht.
There is an (unfortunately paywalled) New York Times article on rats taking selfies. If you clean out your cookies it’s worth a look-see. There are likely gift articles floating around, too. Article’s name:
“Our Rodent Selfies, Ourselves”.
Here’s an adorable pic of the rats taking selfies by pressing a button! 🥰. I thought of all my Mastodon rat friends right away! 🥰❤️ #Rats#Rat#Selfie#ratstodon#RatSelfies
“Ag-RDTs are useful tools for rapid identification of individuals with high viral loads in the specimen type tested… the utility of Ag-RDTs for detection of infected and presumably infectious individuals is often justified using several assumptions… in particular that viral loads in all specimen types from an individual at a given time point are similar. Our study demonstrates that this assumption is not justified.”

Big #rat playing with big fruit... bacause why not?
When you get errors from the AC unit, it may be because you have a visitor chewing on the wires. Had to chase it out with an air blower. I managed to catch a photo as it ran away… #rat
hi!! if you have a little budget to spare this black friday, maybe consider getting some little rat things from me, i promise you won't be disappointed! thank you for all your support, i appreciate it as always 🐀❤️
Rats are very hierarchical animals (sadly). In every mischief there's a rat dominating others. The dominating rat, or leader, usually eats first, drinks first and chooses a place to sleep. Other rats usually bring them food or snacks to get in good graces, while others will try to sabotage their opponents to make them look incompetent or stupid.
At the same time, though, rats are very empathetic and eager to help each other out. Go figure, sounds very human to me.
OC New rat cage setup! Now with DIY homemade hammocks.
