All face masks and hand sanitizers sold out here. I pointlessly went to London Drugs for hand sanitizer. People will be willing to pay big bucks.

A Melbourne lab becomes the first outside of China to copy the deadly novel coronavirus, enabling researchers to develop screening tests and evaluate whether a future vaccine is effective.



The game-changing moment when this Australian lab copied coronavirus



Australian lab first outside of China to re-create coronavirus, helping vaccine push.



In a major breakthrough in the global fight against coronavirus, scientists in Australia have developed a lab-grown version of the disease.



https://www.abc.net.au/news/">https://www.abc.net.au/news/



Described as a "game changer" that will help scientists determine whether a future vaccine is effective, experts at Melbourne's Peter Doherty Institute for Infection and Immunity on Tuesday became the world's first scientific lab outside of China to copy the virus.



They will now share it with the World Health Organisation (WHO) in Europe, which will in turn share it with labs worldwide — including one from Queensland — involved in the worldwide race to develop a vaccine.



The team of scientists grew the virus from a patient who had been infected since Friday.





Key points:



  -  Australian scientists have become the world's first outside of China to recreate the coronavirus

   

 - The discovery will enable scientists to develop a test to identify people who might be infected, even before they show any symptoms

 

 - It will also help speed up work towards a vaccine for the disease, which has claimed more than 100 lives in China and infected five Australians

Didnt the reports say that wearing a mask is worse? That it might actually trap it in the mask. That its just best to not put your hands near your face.
I've come here to chew bubble gum, and kick ass. And I'm all out of bubblegum.

For what it's worth - Canada's Chief Medical Officer Dr. David Williams said in a press conference this afternoon that the Ministry of Health has "never recommended" face masks.



He added that one is better off to avoid putting their hands near their face than the use of face masks. Williams also recommended taking standard fly protocols to protect yourself from the coronavirus.



Face masks quickly and easily become dirty from lack of washing stated Williams, making them even more habitable for germs inside the mask, rather than what could be on the other side.

Was listening to Limbaugh this morning (no I usually don't listen to him) and he said there were some that were asking if the Coronavirus was in beer, and there were others that said to kill the virus to drink bleach. I can only imagine the Darwinian stories that will come out of that.
I've learned that if someone asks you a really stupid question and you reply by telling them what time it is, they'll leave you alone

Perhaps Taiwan's equivalent of Chief Medical Officer has a different opinion.

China now has more confirmed coronavirus cases than it did SARS. The coronavirus is not as deadly as SARS, but more contagious.
