what is it about coronavirus that we have to keep getting vaccine shots?

Posted: 18 Aug 2021 10:13 AM PDT

I hope this doesn't coming all "covid ain't real"-y. I had covid, I got my vaccine shots, I wear my mask n wash my hands all that stuff. but I am no scientist, and I'm curious what makes this virus so different from viruses such as polio tthat you only get a shot for once a lifetime, that we have to keep getting another shot for covid, a third or possibly a fourth in the future? is it the DNA, is it because it's a newer virus?

Why are metals such good heat conductors?

Posted: 19 Aug 2021 05:17 AM PDT

My poor physics knowledge tells me that metals being good electrical conductors make sense. In high school we were taught that metals create lattices, in which the electrons are more or less free to move around and create a current (things like carbon also create lattices eg. diamonds but those are not conductive because the electron valence shells are very stable with 4 bonds). Same idea for why some metals can be magnetized, or why they glow when heated.. but why are they such good conductors of heat? If heat is measured as the 'jiggling' of atoms, then why should a solid piece of metal lattice conduct much heat at all?

Do higher initial viral loads create a more severe infection?

Posted: 18 Aug 2021 05:38 PM PDT

Specifically for COVID. I read that this is the case somewhere. If so, how strongly correlated is it and is there a point where the initial viral load is so high that most people will die?

What’s magnesium role in the human body?

Can we detect relative high ground-levels of radiation from Orbit? Would an Astronaut on the ISS holding a geiger-counter into the general direction of Earth when passing over Tschernobyl or Fukushima get a heightened response compared to the Amazon rainforest?

Is lava flow laminar?

I came across this video, and the question popped in my mind, like a giant, red, burning and deadly pimple: https://youtu.be/a9yZQZ-QpLY

What happens to the gut microbiome when a person fasts?

Posted: 19 Aug 2021 02:22 AM PDT

I heard that fasting causes some beneficial changes to body. Also, well developed gut microbiome seems to be an important part of healthy body. But how not eating for a few days might affect the microbiome? Will the gut bacteria die due to lack of food? Or will it decrease diversity? Or body has ways to keep the microbiome alive? Or maybe fasting related changes to the microbiome are beneficial as well?

Where does the carbon come from in 'green steel'?

Posted: 19 Aug 2021 12:56 AM PDT

I was reading this morning about green steel production (link), but I don't understand how fossil fuels can be completely eliminated.

As I understand it, renewable sources and hydrogen can be used to heat the furnace, and hydrogen can be used instead of coal to reduce the iron oxide to iron (producing water instead of carbon dioxide).

However, steel contains a few percent by mass of carbon, to provide its strength. Where does green steel get that from?

Its claimed that Delta virus affect young population and drives high hospitalization rate. What is the Delta variants severity broken down by age group? Is it published/reported by a legit group?

Is there a correlation between the transmission of coronavirus and humidity in the air?

Posted: 18 Aug 2021 06:54 PM PDT

With transmission being spread through droplets, would breathing humid air allow the virus attach to droplets in the air increasing its transmission rate?

why do type 1 diabetics experience hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia during and after exercise?

Posted: 18 Aug 2021 01:51 PM PDT

My current hypothesis is that it has something to do with hormone ratios but I have know idea how I would go about testing and correcting that if there is any way to do so?

Do 'booster' vaccines lose effectiveness with repetition?

Posted: 19 Aug 2021 12:42 AM PDT

Say we had to have covid vaccine boosters annually for many years, do we run the risk that each subsequent shot will become less effective?

When and how do adenovirus vector vaccines end spike protein production?

Posted: 18 Aug 2021 09:06 AM PDT

I understand in the case of mRNA vaccines, the mRNA quickly degrades and spike protein production is halted. What stops adenovirus vaccines like J&J from perpetually producing the spike protein?

Can gold origin be traced by for example other low abundant minerals? If so, is it known where historically looted gold now? As examples gold from ancient Egyptian burial chambers or gold taken by conquistadors.

Why do phase changes need a nucleation site?

Posted: 18 Aug 2021 10:12 AM PDT

Saw a GIF of a plastic bottle of water undergoing a rapid phase, I guess it was supercooled. I'm just wondering why a specific nucleation site is required for this to start and not just the first part to drop below 0 degC act as the 'starting point'. Cheers!

Is there a way to determine if a person is going to be symptomatic or asymptomatic to a Covid-19 (or for any virus to be more general) via a lab test?

Posted: 18 Aug 2021 11:19 PM PDT

Would taking a blood and/or tissue sample from a person and infecting it with virus yield something that will be a good indicator as to whether that person will be symptomatic or asymptomatic to Covid-19 and other viruses?

Or is being whether symptomatic or asymptomatic more systemic so you can't determine it by simply analyzing blood and/or tissue samples?

If it works, how virus dependent would the procedure be?
