Researchers have identified microscopic features including a unique furin cleavage site that could make the pathogen more infectious than the SARS virus @DrEricDing https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-00660-x More information on the furin muta

You'd think that the virus would have put everyone on the same side. There should be no sectional interests now, no divergent goals. Yet people seem as angry as ever

Today's novel stupidity strain: people sliding into my mentions with idiotic cod-evolutions theories that hold that viruses will, over time, attain a peaceful coexistence because more virulent and deadly strains

This is ridiculous Being outside at a distance from others is safe. This decision will drive people into indoor environments, including those with poor air circulation, which are far more

FFP3 vs Surgical mask PPE guidelines are based on SARS-CoV-2 transmission being large droplet spread only on the general ward. This JAMA article illustrates why that assumption is flawed. https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2763852

@MIT's Dr. Lydia Bourouiba warns: “pathogen-bearing droplets of ALL sizes can travel 23-27 feet.”She also warns: “droplets that settle along the trajectory can contaminate surfaces”—and “residues or droplet nuclei” may

Why is nobody talking about viral interference? (Infection with one virus can interfere with the ability of another virus to infect a host at the same time, providing temporary protection).

I'm pretty sure a deadly virus TURNING OFF capitalism is what led to these bread lines. And I doubt that says anything one way or the other about its merits

"Its ferocity is breathtaking...Despite the more than 1000 papers now spilling into journals and onto preprint servers every week, a clear picture is elusive, as the virus acts like no

I am experimenting with using a $20 portable microscope for students to use in diagnosing plant diseases if/when my diagnostic course goes online this fall. My test sample was downy

1/ Here is a research puzzle: is wokeism the greatest Trojan of third worldism OR a brilliant export of failures from the former communist bloc OR a home-grown viral mutation?

I've seen arguments aired that #SARSCoV2 will 'weaken' because it 'pays a cost' by hurting its host. I'm afraid this is too simplistic and in fact incorrect. We cannot predict
