The phylogenetic results, combined with these other lines of evidence, suggest that the high mortality in 1918 among adults aged ∼20 to ∼40 y may have been due primarily to their childhood exposure to a doubly heterosubtypic putative H3N8 virus, which we estimate circulated from ∼1889–1900. All other age groups (except immunologically naive infants) were likely partially protected by childhood exposure to N1 and/or H1-related antigens.

The Spanish flu apparently had the N1 complex present, to which the 20-40y population wasn’t exposed. At least that’s my limited understanding after skimming the paper.

They argue that people born before 1889 (?) were exposed to a virus similar to the Spanish flu, whereas people born in a timeframe directly thereafter were not. They experienced a different virus that wasn’t as closely related. Thus their antibodies weren’t as prepared.

Millennia. I think the original problem started with the Babylonian exile. The only continuous period of absolute peace was when the romans burned down the temple and salted the earth in Jerusalem.

I’m not advocating for any of this, but the problems are rooted deeper than 1947.

The WWF indicates a return in France and Germany since 2020 of adults looking to reproduce.

You are aware that they were reintroduced?

That depends on the species….

I’ve seen that one. It’s so 1953….

Our neoliberal party likes to blow money into big business ass. Everything else doesn’t matter to them.

In Germany we have got an integrated system with small pockets of protected forest inside leger forests. However, in opposition to most of the world, we don’t do clear cuts or the like, except for big calamities. we would usually fell single trees inside a forest and have the others left over for a later date or generations. You can get a year old sapling next to a 300 year old oak and everything in between right next to each other. Naturally due to historical over use, we haven’t got any old growth forests like in Ukraine or Poland, but we certainly preserve our ecological functions.

Maybe where you live. To get a usable tree you need at least 40years around here, to get a tree you can build with takes around a hundred years….

The previous poster talks about trees in general. So did I. I even clarified that I’m against chopping down these particular trees. The wood you use in your day to day love most certainly doesn’t stem from plantations. A part of it yes, but that also varies a lot depending on where in the world you are.

How?
