Coronavirus - Overall
-
A small bit of a levity with a timely Terry Jones pivot. (R.I.P.)
We love the Yangtse, Yangtse-Kiang,
Flowing from Yushu down to Ching-Kiang,
Passing through Chung King, Wuhan and Hoo-Kow
Three thousand miles, but it gets there somehow.
Oh! Szechuan's the province and Shanghai is the port,
And the Yangtse is the river that we all support. -
@Salacious-Crumb Ignore stuff like that, and read my posts above instead.
This is a good thread on that tweet:
The authors of that paper emphasize the high degree of uncertainty and have already downgraded their estimate to an R0 of 2.5

I have developed a system that can do very high throughput screening of different enzymes for lysis (cleaving) of biopolymers like proteins and carbohydrates.
This could be used to find new enzymes to process biomaterials. Alternatively, it could be used with known enzymes to screen compounds (drug candidates) that block those enzymes.
Viruses cleave cell surface and intracellular biopolymers to enter the cells and trigger viral reproduction. Tamiflu blocks viral lysis of sialic acid groups from a glycoprotein. This is the kind of critical step in infection of respiratory system cells that coronaviruses also do.

Loving staff in Duty free wearing masks. Very reassuring
It is common knowledge in medical circles that surgical masks cease to be an effective barrier after a few minutes

@booboo Initial indications are less concerning than SARS.
Swine flu (2009) was as much as 1000x worse than SARS.
Also, learn to read threads ...
It's my small attention span.
Information buried in linked articles and press releases is beyond my ability to concentrate .
I prefer someone else to do my thinking for me.

You won't get away with that around here.
Given that you can get SARs in a can and Corona in a bottle, I am going to market with my Herpes toothpaste.

One thing you can do when you collect a lot of data ...

I'm not concerned at all. I don't drink Corona
It took me until now, a day after the post, to get it. And I thought I wasn't one of the stupid ones...
