we investigated the receptor usage of the SL-CoV S by combining [b]a human immunodeficiency virus-based pseudovirus system with cell lines expressing the ACE2 molecules of human, civet, or horseshoe bat. In addition to full-length S of SL-CoV and SARS-CoV, a series of S chimeras was constructed by inserting different sequences of the SARS-CoV S into the SL-CoV S backbone. Several important observations were made from this study. First, the SL-CoV S was unable to use any of the three ACE2 molecules as its receptor. Second, the SARS-CoV S failed to enter cells expressing the bat ACE2. Third, the chimeric S covering the previously defined receptor-binding domain gained its ability to enter cells via human ACE2, albeit with different efficiencies for different constructs.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Coronavirus/comments/figfu5/sweden_stops_testing_for_coronavirus_its_no/ Sweden declares that numbers are a social construct. `` The Public Health Authority stops counting coronary cases It is no longer important to know how many people in Sweden are infected with the corona virus, says the Public Health Authority to Aftonbladet. In Stockholm, the strategy has already been introduced to test only people in hospitals or persons belonging to a risk group. Next week, the entire country will follow suit, state epidemiologist Anders Tegnell told the newspaper.``

>>933 This 'herd immunity' meme is even dumber than China making Death Princess hospital ships for their Wuhan medics, so i award this Peak Clown World Platinum Medal. Fluoridated NPCs that believe it should reconsider their status is a disposable herd animal to be thinned for economic reasons.
Earlier, the Welt am Sonntag German newspaper reported that U.S. President Donald Trump had offered funds to lure CureVac to the United States, and the German government was making counter-offers to tempt it to stay.
Responding to the report, the U.S. ambassador to Germany, Richard Grenell, wrote on Twitter: “The Welt story was wrong.”
A U.S. official said: “This story is wildly overplayed ... We will continue to talk to any company that claims to be able to help. And any solution found would be shared with the world.”
Any company with medical production capabilities has to report to the government in order to be mobilised to mass production of masks, respirators, goggles and others products due to international markets shortages. Any company failing to do so faces huge fines
The shortages are already everywhere in the world as demand has increased over production. It's no longer a money problem, but a material shortage.
Honestly you people laugh at toilet paper hoarders, but you really dont have enough toilet paper yourselves. The average person uses 1 roll per day. If you have a family of 4, that's 28 rolls a week. Over 100 a month. TP rolls will be worth their weight in gold in a few months, because everyone needs it.
Are you a fat blob who consumes, and subsequently expels, 4kg (that's 8.81849049lbs if you're retarded) of food per day?

>>944 This looks like they are preparing for something major that requires lots of manpower/logistics, mass quarantines can be handled with police. I think full-on martial law and lockdown of Paris into separate zones(dependent on COVID19 case load?) is coming, army patrols will be enforcing the quarantine and every exit will be on checkpoints or barricaded. Paris is likely to have a couple of viral hotspots and they sent army to start a blockade around Charenton, then extending it to all of Paris as situation requires.

Horrifying! Wave 2 of #COVID19 hit several areas in #Hanyang District #Wuhan #China. Patients from #Fangcang discharged without diagnosis.

>>950 Thinking_Emoji.jpg Weeks of nothingburgers, its just a flu, wash your hands bro. Blatant disregard for borders and quarantines. Cases allowed to rise higher and higher. Total ignorance of whats going on in China, then ignoring Italy as if it was happening on the Moon. Then, one day it suddenly a crisis, everything locks down and they start rewriting the rulebook.
>>952 I always wondered how they'll excuse the mass 'quarantines/arrests' and forced disappearances within a democratic framework and now we have it:
`` The immunologist explains that the data provided by the study carried out on all the inhabitants of Vo 'Euganeo highlight two very important information: "the percentage of infected people, even if asymptomatic, in the population is very high and represents the majority of cases above all, but not only that, among young people; and the isolation of asymptomatics is essential to be able to control the spread of the virus and the severity of the disease ".``
Conclusions: In the close contacts of COVID-19 patients, nearly half or even more of the 'asymptomatic infected individuals' reported in the active nucleic acid test screening might be false positives.
So you can test a healthy person enough(or just plain fake a test) and declare him 'infected & asymptomatic', quarantine him or inject experimental vaccines, absolutely legally.

>>957 They're also planning of taking over entire hotels/halls to make more quarantine facilities. `` Halls and hotels are to be converted into medical wards
Germany is preparing itself for the peak of the crisis with a hospital emergency plan: according to SPIEGEL information, halls and hotels are to be converted into temporary wards, and clinics are to search their cellars for useful materials.
In view of the steadily increasing number of corona infected persons, the federal and state governments decided on Tuesday to introduce an emergency plan for hospitals. The core goal is to double intensive care capacities and to convert halls, hotels and rehabilitation wards into treatment centers for lighter cases.
