Science is never sleeping.
The race is on. The structure of the #coronavirus has been published.
This will help with vaccine development and other prevention/treatment measures.
It is a long journey, but it is moving as fast as possible.
In the meantime, we all need to do our part, step up handwashing and other basic measures.
Keep faith, trust science.
@artemis ty 💛
We must keep faith. We will get a vax
In meantime we need to effort NOT to get sick and NOT to spread if you do
That's it, indeed.
We cannot wait until gov tells us any measures are being taken. We need to implement basic measures now* and we may be able to soften the blow or avoid major issues.
@artemis yep. I think its slowly sinking in.
was about to Cc you ,
(-:
there is strength, there's capability, if not here, then where, all we need is to get organized and united in action
@artemis did you see this Singapore doctor,
They think its droplet, not airborne but can live in surfaces for a "few days"

@artemis more studies needed but boy oh boy I can deal with droplet and contact
And if it lives for days in surface it could explain crazy infection rate
Maybe the fumigation worked in China to slow it
Shit that really good
Yup, was thinking same, highly virulent + living long time on surfaces = infection rates high.
W'd like to read more about evidence re: droplet vs. airborne.
@artemis that was first I saw of that so yes.
This is exactly the kind of info these early investigations can help us fight this fucker
