ok is a month or 2 more,
China already has the Fusion inhibitor EK1C4 ... etc cure
I just wonder about its Cost,
Is it too late in some areas for the masks to make much difference? From La Stampa in one town in Lombardia, 70% of the population has the antibodies for Covid 19, i.e. were infected, and didn't show any symptoms whatsoever. That's touted as good news.However, 80 out of the 4600 inhabitants have died of it. Do the math; that's of the inhabitants, not the infected: it's 1.35% of the "total population". So, containment came too late.Is this what herd immunity looks like?

a few days ago ... in Messapia:
The Silence:
Sorry, mine pictures are out of the line here
Why would they be out of line?
It's good to see people smiling while cooped up.

Pictures - work from home in VIlnius
If this pharmacy apotheke was in Greece, they would pay a fine, for overpopulation,
the difference is that personel should be behind a glass like in banks
the law here except such safety precautions also say about how many person enter, at pharmacys the law allow min 1 person per 15 m2 (including personel) of clear area, including personel. (clear area = true area minus storage and warehouses,)
Every where here is 15 m2, except Super markets were it is 10 m2 for now.
This is an interesting article - why SARS-2 spreads so well compared to SARS-1 (though in many other aspects they are very similar)
The new coronavirus has an HIV-like mutation that means its ability to bind with human cells could be up to 1,000 times as strong as the Sars virus, according to new research by scientists in China and Europe.
Scientists showed that Sars (severe acute respiratory syndrome) entered the human body by binding with a receptor protein called ACE2 on a cell membrane. And some early studies suggested that the new coronavirus, which shares about 80 per cent of the genetic structure of Sars, might follow a similar path.
But the ACE2 protein does not exist in large quantities in healthy people, and this partly helped to limit the scale of the Sars outbreak of 2002-03, in which infected about 8,000 people around the world.
Other highly contagious viruses, including HIV and Ebola, target an enzyme called furin, which works as a protein activator in the human body. Many proteins are inactive or dormant when they are produced and have to be “cut” at specific points to activate their various functions.
When looking at the genome sequence of the new coronavirus, Professor Ruan Jishou and his team at Nankai University in Tianjin found a section of mutated genes that did not exist in Sars, but were similar to those found in HIV and Ebola.
“This finding suggests that 2019-nCoV [the new coronavirus] may be significantly different from the Sars coronavirus in the infection pathway,”

The reason why some people think SARS-2 was manufactured is because of its similarity to SARs 2003. It is like an updated SARS - 1 version, rather than a new product. Earlier, SARs, MERs, EBOLA, HIV, they all were "originals" - entirely new viruses.
So far, scientists do not know how to produce an entirely new virus. They take an existing one and alter it by deleting/inserting parts of different viruses, depending on qualities that they want to bring out in a new manufactured virus. In this respect SARS-CoV-2 looks like it was made on SARS 2003 platform plus some alterations regarding susceptibility.
On the other hand, SARS-CoV-2 might have developed by itself, only nobody can find an animal vector who had this virus naturally in nature. The whole story really makes one wonder. I suppose China tries to avoid any association with SARS-CoV-2 by any means, as it caused so much damage Worldwide.
So they line up outside; minimally better for the clients, I suppose, since they're out in the open air.
This shouldn't be a contest about which country does things better, or even sound like that.
Don't we all have enough stress without that?
