I’ve reported on plenty of outbreaks incl. Ebola in Liberia and the experience has always affected me on some level. How could it not? But with #covid19 I’m experiencing a kind of mental anguish I’ve not really felt like this before and I think same goes for many of my sources.

Do you need to go to that meeting/gathering? Do you need to travel? Can you work from home? The aim is not only to protect yourself but to slow spread of infection in our community. Flattening the epidemic will help reduce the burden on our healthcare systems.

The first article I have read that gives some reassurance that Bojo is not using COVID19 as a UK -wide 'cull the weak' experiment. Coronavirus: Three reasons why the UK might not look like Italy bbc.com/news/uk-518589…

As a PhD student, I can tell you the most efficient way to socially distance is to talk about your research. If you don’t have a research project, nobody has to know, just make one up. All PhD research topics sound like nonsense anyway.

A film crew from ITN ITV News visited MRC-Uni of Glasgow Centre for Virus Research on Monday following our efforts to sequence #SARSCoV2 Here's a sneak preview of Stephen from CVR Genomics loading the Oxford Nanopore MinION. Look out for the rest of us and our colleages in action on the News at 10 tonight on ITV/STV

I wrote about the new coronavirus itself--where it came from, why it's behaving in the way it's behaving, how it infects and kills, and what the summer might bring. It's early days, of course, but this serves as a rough preliminary portrait of SARS-CoV-2. theatlantic.com/science/archiv…

Quick action saves lives. Fast, free, available testing saves lives. Open communication saves lives. Social distancing saves lives. Closing public places saves lives. Act now. Save lives. #COVID19 #SARSCoV2 #hCoV19

Yesterday 10 armed police and a helicopter were called to a house in Kent after reports of a big cat on the loose. The tiger is made of chicken wire and resin, and the exceptional sculptor happens to be my 85-year-old grandmother theguardian.com/uk-news/2020/m…

1/n Check out our latest work led by Gorka Lasso where we scan Earth's virome for #virus encoded #mimics of host proteins. The virus-host #evolutionary arms-race just got a little bit cooler... Harmit S. Malik this one's for you 😉 cell.com/cell-systems/f… ...
