Let's dispel the notion that "novel coronavirus is just like the flu". Sharing this striking comparison of #Flu, #COVID19, #SARS and #MERS made by BioRender. #COVID19 is 30x more deadly and almost 2x more contagious than the flu. We have no existing immunity to COVID19.

What will go down as the biggest breakdown in the US response to #COVID19 is the lack of test kits. South Korea and the US had their 1st patients on Jan 20 and Jan 21, respectively. Look at the difference in daily testing. By March 4th, SK was ~18,000 per day.

If we don’t collect the epidemiological data, we will be at loss again in the next round!

PODCAST: In order to defeat this epidemic, we need to not just be testing the backlog of cases and hospitalized case - we need to get to be on the “testing frontier of new cases” as they develop. #COVID19 Mitch Levy

First virtual TA meeting for Micro. Important to educate the new generation of microbiologists, now more than ever!🙂

Hats off all my physicians colleagues, fellows, residents, and med students (future docs) Wayne State University School of Medicine for fighting COVID19 battle.

Several studies are coming out saying that blood LDH (lactate dehydrogenase) levels early in #COVID19 disease correlates with severe disease progression. This is a clue that #pyroptosis may be a the core of this disease (1/n). medrxiv.org/content/10.110… jci.org/articles/view/…

Small groups from the Chinese-American community in New York and New Jersey are uniting to fight the coronavirus even as they face racist remarks and some physical attacks. They are creating vast networks via WeChat to find supplies for doctors and nurses. nyti.ms/2Rfcwxb

Gu lab graduate students are doing a great job to keep the science going. Thanks!🌺🌺

Congratulations to Dr. Martin Crozier for his promotion to Senior Lecturer at Wayne State University Wayne State College of Liberal Arts and Sciences Biological Sciences!

Congratulations!

Bio students are putting their Micro knowledge into fighting COVID-19. Matthew is a pre-Pharmacy student working at a hospital. Here is his class project based on his hands-on experience. Way to go, Bio students!@WSUBioSci dropbox.com/s/0co3r7cyrny8…
