Virologist here. AMA

do you use a TEM personally, and if so, which model, and or which is your favorite model?

Also, how do you prepare the virus samples for TEM imagin?

>and that it's less severe than the flu, which it is.
why is it that the entire planet is essentially in lock down then? does it spread more quickly than the normal flu?

is it true that HIV came from niggers fucking monkeys
In Dallas Buyers Club credits it says the medicine those guys were taking for HIV wasn't very effective because the doses were too high, and subsequent treatments with lesser doses proved more effective. How come that happened

>Homo sapien

Potential for some resistance acquired by revent (months) exposure to one of the other circulating endemic coronaviruses?

Best guess as to true CFR or ratio of confirmed symptomatic vs non-confirmed asymptomatic?

Emergency manager and pandemic planner. Poptart cat help us if H7N9 mutates to sustained human to human. Sars-cov2 is the closest miss we've seen from the big ones we fear.

Novel Corona MUCH less severe than novel avian virus. Comparing it to seasonal flu is silly imo.

>Covid19?
Believe it or not, yes.

COVID19 is caused by SARS II virus, and SARS II is transmitted through respiratory droplets.

So if a restaurant isn't well ventilated, it's likely to spread if someone's saliva or mucus becomes aerosolized.

In fact, the reason why some viruses like norovirus are so infectious on cruise ships is because they're easily transmitted through aerosolized bodily fluids.

>What do you think of the US bio weapon program?
It's easily beneficial as it is destructive.
For example, parvoviruses can be genetically engineered easily for gene therapy since the insert their own genome into the host genome (with the aid of an associated adenovirus). So if we can engineer viruses to help people, we can also engineer them to destroy people.

>is ebola really so virulent that it's unlikely to ever spread as far as other viruses
Yes. Remember that a virus that's too virulent will be selected against Natural Selection because it causes it's host to become so sick that they're bed ridden and unlikely to go out, socialize, and therefore spread.

A virus needs an even balance of virulence and contagiousness but can't be too extreme in one or the other.

That's why the common cold is more successfully evolutionarily because it's ALWAYS spread from person to person.

Ebola infects a few thousand people but then stops within a matter of about a year then is not seen in humans for a while.

>if this is the case, what sort of mutation could possibly occur to make it last longer?

I don't know what you mean. Do you mean make the virulence last longer or the transmission last longer?
Remember a virus needs to be able to spread, and if its host can't come into contact with people to spread it because they're so sick and bedridden, then that virus will not persist.

You care when you fuck that hooker at the gas station and wonder why you have warts on your pencil dick

We ded?

Why is it killing so many people pet capita if it's less severe than flu?

why is a vaccine/treatment taking so long?

why can't we just take antibodies from recovered patients and inject them into healthy people?
