SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus (COVID-19)

I just gave simplest example I was familiar with of an after PCRing test. If I just hand waved a then the it is tested for the target DNA, I might as well hand waved the entire PCR description.
I could have gone on about pulse field electropherosis, or the ultracentrifugation method we used for GMOed plasmids as other examples of seperating target DNA out from the junk.

Don't give it to your collie. They have a holy blood-brain barrier in regards to that.

 

You mean like the couple that took aquarium cleaner as a preventative for COVID-19?

 

France was not adding case counts and deaths from nursing homes to the official total. The French government is in the process of collecting that data, and started reporting that April 2 and 3. The nursing home counts are attributed to the dates that the government received those reports rather than when the counts actually happened.

she went for a run, and got stopped 4 times by the gendarmes to check her papers

 

after months of stumbling and bumbling, cdc finally recommends home made masks for citizens.

 

If you are downplaying the current threat of COVID-19 because the number of weekly pneumonia death in the US is very high (above 3,000/week most of the time), then you may be misleading the truth. The number of death graphed are reported death for ALL cases of pneumonia, which is an umbrella term to cover many different infectious agents including virus, bacteria, and fungi, many of them not highly communicable. The actual reported confirmed cases of death caused by "common flu" is only part of this number and much less (~145/week death by flu from 2019 average). The currently reported cases of a weekly number of death by COVID-19 (over 9,000 reported death in less than 5 weeks, that's ~1,800/week death by COVID-19) is more than 10 times of death by common flu.
all the data are from here: National Center for Health Statistics Mortality Surveillance System

That chart with this week will be sobering

 

Update 8 - 4/05/2020
For the last update, I said that NY may have hit their peak. Unfortunately, shortly after that post, NY's cases started marching back upwards. Due to that and the roll-over into April, I've made to changes to the graphs:

• X-axis is now the day of the year (starting with March 5th) rather than date.
• I'm now using a 3-day average rather than single-day numbers. This should smooth the messiness and reduce the chance of any downturns being flukes.

Having done that, the news is back to being all-bad. Both the U.S. and all State's I am tracking show us still in the exponential-ish growth phase of the pandemic in the U.S.

Some URLs go crazy. Do not paste in a Jalopnik URL, for instance. Use a link.

 

Actually I learned it from @Tideland Prius

Holey, as in permeable?

There might be a genetic test now, in place of blanket "not to collies".
