“I've always believed that science is best done by building on the work of others and openly sharing.” -Chan Zuckerberg Initiative grantee Kevin Eliceiri of UW–Madison Science Read about #opensource tools advancing biomedical image processing 🔬bit.ly/2N6lUBa

Did I get it right? The strategy is letting Nature follow its course & thus making most of the surviving population to become immune. Is this the best scientific response? Concerned that some colleagues & big shots in the UK agree. Instead: vaccine soon 🦠 theguardian.com/world/2020/mar…

This could be an interesting epidemiological experiment—yet done without informed consent of those involved, wth a major lack of data re the virus proper and—regardless of the outcome—with very bad consequences for the most vulnerable population. I really hope others don't follow

Researchers at Scripps Research say their genetic analysis of #SARSCoV2 #coronavirus and related viruses has found no evidence that SARS-CoV-2 is the result of bioengineering in a lab: ow.ly/q2Y450yPYWN

At last! An ELISA antibody test for #COVID19 ! Created by a multinational team, measures presence of antibodies against #SARnCoV2 virus. Key point: PCR tests only go + if you have virus in you at test-time. Antibody test tells if you were EVER infected. doi.org/10.1101/2020.0…

Having taken chloroquine prophylactic for #Malaria I think people need to recall it has real side effects, including deep depression and suicide. I've seen people go haywire on it.

The P. putida aficionados have been gesticulating for decades on how bad it was that the bug was so resistant to Ap.

"The desire to ignore the epidemic and the one to embrace would-be treatments before they’re proven boils down to the same thing: the desire to believe that you can force the world into being fixed without understanding it first." -- Me statnews.com/2020/04/07/us-…
