Animation video of how Remdesivir works and some COVID19 nudes~

Also just for you guys who wanna look at these little buggers under an electron microscope here ya go!

The blue dots are individual virus. Look closely you can see some dense dots inside the viral particles, which are super-coiled RNA genome for the virus.

The small spherical circle are the virus

Panel A shows one single virus, you can clearly see the spike protein on the surface. On the left is a cell overloaded with virus and on the way to apoptosis.

Also a whole lot from NIAID

Another question always comes up from my relatives is: how big is this virus.

Well, lets compare it to the size of a bacteria as well as one of your very own blood cell. It is indeed another world level of small. If we are to view from the perspective of a virus, a regular E.coli would look like a blue whale. Meanwhile a bacteria cell would be looking at human cells as if they are giant monsters.

Reminds me of the pastor who defied the lockdown in one of the states declaring church services would be held as normal and that "god is bigger than this virus."

I was like, well yeah, I am too but that doesn't help us much.

He should get a toy like this

Coronavirus COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2)

COVID-19 has arrived and quickly spread globally along with confusion, rumors and fear. Scientists investigate therapies and vaccines as nations “go medieval” by quarantining citizens. What should you do when a mysterious microbe comes knocking? Start by staying calm, learning the facts and...

The one that died from Covid-19?

Coronavirus: US pastor who said 'God is larger than this virus' and defied social distancing dies of COVID-19

Bishop Gerald Glenn, 66, had promised to keep preaching "unless I'm in jail or the hospital".

Anyway, @xkm1948 i had a skype meeting with my family and my brother who works for (effectively molex) said his company designed the hardware involved in the electron microscopy that took the first picture of the current coronavirus.

Those electron microscopes are pinnacle of technology for sure. The higher magnification you go the more difficult it gets to image clearly. I used to use one at Oregon Health and Science University which was built underneath the ground to minimize vibration from surface: An entire room with its own foundation! It was one expensive piece of equipment for sure.

OT, a bit, I guess but is it true for early electron pics, the subject had to be coated in gold dust or something?

Same one sadly. I have sympathy but that's about all. Listen to doctors people.

I believe it's not gold dust, but we had an Electron microscope at evergreen and I remember learning they definetely were still coating samples in something... they made a point of mentioning it in a tour.

I'm personally hoping that all the people Trump is exhorting to go out defy the social distancing guidelines and mingle do so; our species will do better without them.
