Observational data suggest that SARS-CoV-2 spreads between people at short distances. SARS-CoV-2 may spread by the primary method of transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 virus—via relatively large respiratory droplets, which fall quickly to the floor under their own weight, or even via the smaller aerosolized droplets capable of circulating in the air for long periods of […]
In 2002–03, the SARS virus infected 8,000 people in more than two dozen countries and killed almost 800. Infectious disease specialists created a specific check box list to identify viruses to watch out for pandemic potential in the future. Two are very important virus characteristics at the top of that specific check box list. One […]
Nasopharyngeal swabs are considered the gold standard to accurate test COVID19 infection. Unfortunately, these tests require specific supplies, some significant time for results, and place health care workers at risk of infection. Thus, clinicians and researchers have been looking for alternatives to nasopharyngeal swabs since the early days of the pandemic. Recently, it has been […]

On August 24, PNAS – A very high risk of COVID 19 infection in primate species has been reported. Their analysis predicts that several critically endangered primate species are at very high risk of the virus, although the results need to be confirmed with further experiments or surveillance. An international team of scientists has assessed […]
Blood-based immunological changes that are linked to the disease and, in some cases, to symptom severity were published in Nature Medicine Source: (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-020-1038-6). For a disease with such diversity of symptoms and outcomes, and in patients of different ages and sexes with different underlying conditions, finding a common immune pattern of the immune response to […]
