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 https://t.co/VmfwdDvtWw
Congratulations to Drs. Penelope Higgs @HiggsLab and Jared Scrader @schraderlab on their promotion to Associate Professor with tenure at @waynestate@WayneStateCLAS Biological Sciences!
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. https://t.co/jcc9wq6m7o
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).

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_Seattle
THIS IS SO DAMN WRONG... “US’s 2nd largest city health system has told its staff that it is 📌essentially abandoning hope of containing #COVID19 and 📌instructed doctors *NOT* to test symptomatic patients if a positive result won’t change treatment.” 🤬 https://t.co/RMEIVVF4ck
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.
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.
