Coronavirus contains HIV genes

"China is starting to pull ahead of other parts of the world — maybe for the time — in regards to biomedicine," says Hallam Stevens, an anthropologist at the Nanyang Technological University in Singapore who studies Chinese bioscience. "They've been really investing heavily in it over the last couple of decades and it's starting to pay off in a big way."

"China sees biomedicine as one way it can compete with the West and show off its technological prowess and scientific chops in the 21st century," Stevens says. "It's also something that's going to be critical for keeping China's population healthy in the 21st century."

"China's like the Wild West," says Dr. Carl June, a University of Pennsylvania scientist involved in the U.S. study of CRISPR to treat cancer that's finally starting after nearly two years of much more intense review than Wu's study in China.

"China has made this a very high priority — a national priority to develop this," June says. "There's some very high-quality research in China, and then there are others that are not high quality."

June doesn't have any specific concerns about Wu's study and doesn't think the U.S. should relax its safeguards to protect patients. But he worries the U.S. is falling behind like it did at the beginning of the space race.

Anyone know anyone who died from the coronavirus

I don’t. I considered the information. I decided that I shouldn’t panic. I feel pretty good about my decision.

I think the unknown factor is what scares people. We always have the flu. It kills thousands a year. People generally don’t panic.

Do you realize how many times, “fear not, neither be afraid” is repeated throughout the Bible?

Me neither.

Just the common cold.

It's a tit for tat. New trade policies after months of sanctions have hurt China's economy, China released virus and panics the whole world, US stock markets tank, and all financial gains of the year are wiped out. Leveling the play-field, and all that.

As summarized humorously and predicted back in 2007:

Men may need to hack off their muttonchops, void their Van Dykes or pluck their ducktails if they plan on using a respirator, according to information from the CDC about how facial hair can interact with the devices.

A graphic released by the agency shows the fashionable facial-hair-wearer which styles will conflict with potentially life-saving respirators as the US braces for the quickly spreading coronavirus to emerge state-side.

Handlebar, walrus, and Zorro mustaches are fine, but the CDC says folks may need to lose their Fu Manchus, Dalis, and Englishes — because they could prevent respirators from making a seal on wearers’ faces.

It's a conspiracy by the legalist, apostolic community to get us enlightened, beard-wearing prophets of God to shave. I for one will not be compromising! You're gonna have to pluck it off my cold, dead body.


Just being facetious people.

So the steep drop on wall street goes further and further down. Get ready to invest, as soon as there are talks of a cure or high percentage of containment the DOW S&P 500 etc will shoot up so fast it may make your head spin and cause new investors to become overnight cabillionaires. then there will be a sell off and return to normal pre corona levels.

maybe......

If my cpap fits and keeps a seal that respirator will be just fine. 😁
