    Coronavirus COVID-19 Thread

    We don't know that, at all. While that is the way the flu spreads, the flu has been around for thousands of years and has a very well established chain of transmission, that makes it readily transmissible across species. The whole point about the *novel* coronavirus is that it is completely...

    On the contrary, "government handouts" are for the wealthy and/or big businesses. Check this out, remember the US govt. bailout of small businesses? Well, this is showing who is getting the money: https://www.gq.com/story/ruths-chris-small-business-steakhouse I feel sorry for the people in our...

    Coronavirus COVID-19 Thread

    If I had time I'd write a longer response...part of the reason we are experiencing this current "lockdown with no end in sight" is because a) the disease got out of hand here in the US coupled with b) we really, do NOT know much about the disease, and so far our attempts to find out more have...

    Following up on what is going on with the search for treatments, a large and seemingly well-run study of hydroxychloroquine found no treatment benefit, and actually seemed to have worse outcomes for the patients. This adds to a growing body of research that shows similar results (i.e., no...

    FYI, this is a current rundown of the drugs being looked at for treating COVID-19: https://www.livescience.com/coronavirus-covid-19-treatments.html This article had a nice little write-up about remdesivir...undoubtedly anything that is shown to be effective is going to be "fast-tracked", but...

    Correct. It has been a big assumption that having antibodies would potentially give immunity, but it has been acknowledged we don't really know that. However, people have been making a lot of plans based on that assumption. As you well know, when you "assume" you make the "ass" out of "u" and...

    Hammer and chisel? I'm afraid you probably need to use something environmentally unfriendly...the kind of chemicals that one whiff will impair your lung functioning forever...you may not want to use during the COVID-19 pandemic, however. After you do clean it, the best thing then is either...

    This is interesting (and scary) development: S. Korea says that 141 patients who recovered from COVID-19 have tested positive again...it is going to take a couple of weeks to figure out what is going on, but this could be a real game-changer, and not in a good way...

    Yeah, my brother-in-law (a really, really bright guy, worked in industry before going into academia full-time because he wanted to do more research) subscribes to the theory that there was an accidental virus release at a Chinese research lab. I'm still at the stage where I'm going with the...

    That is a gross oversimplification, i.e., that *Nations* act as people. In the case of China, I'm always careful to distinguish between the Chinese *people* vs. the Chinese *government*. The people of China seem to want to be free, just like us, but their *government* uses various means...
