Australian lab first outside of China to re-create coronavirus, helping vaccine push

In a major breakthrough in the global fight against coronavirus, scientists in Australia have developed a lab-grown version of the disease.

Key points:
Australian scientists have become the world's first outside of China to recreate the coronavirus
The discovery will enable scientists to develop a test to identify people who might be infected, even before they show any symptoms
It will also help speed up work towards a vaccine for the disease, which has claimed more than 100 lives in China and infected five Australians
Described as a "game changer" that will help scientists determine whether a future vaccine is effective, experts at Melbourne's Peter Doherty Institute for Infection and Immunity on Tuesday became the world's first scientific lab outside of China to recreate the virus.

They will now share it with the World Health Organisation (WHO) in Europe, which will in turn share it with labs worldwide — including one from Queensland — involved in the worldwide race to develop a vaccine.

every year the flu get more and more serious and deadly. this is just a latest strain designed by the man to kill the yellow and black man and also the poor. yuh see they seed the clouds on tuesday or wednesday morning and all the rain stop. early morning i see the plane spreading the chemical in a white line in the eastern sky. they wah dry we up so food prices will go up and add more presha, little by little d man getting rid of all we black and yellow people. how d rain falling everyday since christmas and d plane pass and rain stop one time and met office say dry season start?

If the "man" that powerful why would they let a white majority country like Australia suffer intense drought and subsequent bushfires? If they could control weather like you insinuating they could solve those bush fires.

how come nobody important does get these virus or die in these sickness created by the man. yuh neva hear no president, prime minister, movie actor, big name important people dying of these things.

^ the coronavirus itself is not new - this is just a variant.
saw the posts on fb, it's just conspiracy theorists getting triggered

[maj. tom]

Bleach solution, 70% isopropyl alcohol or 75% Puncheon on a J-cloth is the same thing. Don't panic over Lysol stocks.

[screwbash]

if you drink the puncheon will it work the same way ?

[88sins]

if you drink the puncheon will it work the same way ?

Yup.
And if you chase it with tequila it works even better.

anybody know where sells n95 masks?

[maj. tom]

Bhagwansingh's but when I last checked in December they were out and needed about a month to restock.
3M auto paint shops.
3M dealers generally should have.

If you can, buy on Amazon. You can get N95 or even N99 rated masks and end up costing less than $1USD per mask.

[paid_influencer]

^ amazon completely out of stock.

looking for somewhere with confirmed availability at least a case. NOT the dust masks that everywhere have

[screwbash]

y dialsingh aint setup a spraying system and an incinerator at piarco and all ports of entry where anyone coming in is sprayed to kill all bacteria and also their luggage and if they refuse trow the luggage in the incinerator and quarantine the people at IDC for 12 days once they come from a country that has the virus. they spray all livestock and quarantine them before they mix with other animals so is about time we do the same for people. otherwise we might end up like walking dead where backhoe taking up bodies and trowing them in a pit to burn,

India confirms its first case of coronavirus

From CNN's Vedika Sud in New Delhi

India's Ministry of Health and Family has confirmed the first case of coronavirus in the country.

The patient is a student in the southern state of Kerala and was studying at Wuhan University.

The ministry said in a statement that the patient tested positive for the virus and is in isolation in hospital.

No further details were given about the patient, such as age or gender, but the ministry said they were stable and being closely monitored.

India's first case will inevitably raise further fears over the global spread of the virus.

China and India currently account for about 37% of the entire global population of roughly 7.7 billion, with China currently home to about 1.4 billion people and India to 1.3 billion.

It reach India... All hell break loose now!!

According to this, the infected population has increased by 66% in just two days.

Hypothetically, at that rate it would reach world population total of 7 billion in how many days?

[pugboy]

get the IML folks to work out the spreading rate

pyramid scheme recruitments follow similar exponential rates
