Wasn't Verily supposed to do this, or are they moving too slowly? Edit: This item's page doesn't work on iPad. After three seconds, the page freezes.

Yep, because it's an mAb. EDP1815 is also an mAb. They're expensive and complicated because of big pharma profiteering.

Camostat plus E-64d was proposed in a paper in Cell around March 5 as a potential superior prophylaxis under investigation because it blockades the virus from using either ACE2 or TMPRSS2, completely denying SARS-CoV-2 from entering human c

Hope isn't reality. Overall 20%-50% infection rate is most likely because of the multiple infection waves due to cycles of shutdowns and the extreme infectivity that will occur before a safe and effective vaccine candidate can be manuf

There are only 62k ventilators in the US and 12k held by the SNS. Ventilators aren't simple machines and nowhere near as simple as residential -PAP machines, so this untested "open source" effort or GM saying they would produ

So the EE/CS undergrad program I did was heavily-analytical: - It included the entire advanced level chem, physics and stats series for scientists and engineers. - It was two elective courses shy of a math degree, including abstract ma

I'm glad I didn't study at all or have any coaching for the 1600 pt SAT I in the mid 90's because it would've been entirely unnecessary. I missed one question on the math section and it was a dumb mistake on my part. Our

IANAMDOMP. After respiratory therapists, it seems like perfusionists will be stretched thin too because there are so few of them globally. I would predict lots of ECMOs and long waiting lists for lung transplants in the next few months, but

The word "quarantine" derives from the Venetian word "quarantena" meaning "40 days" separation due to the Black Death because "trentine" (30 days) wasn't long enough.

There are several factors to consider: - Temporary measures, once cancelled, will steepen the curve and recreate rapid community spread conditions. This will lead to a number of cycles of pandemic curves and responses as modeled in a number

There is no working vaccine. Multiple candidates will take a year and a half if everything works perfectly. It's possible that a vaccine will not be found.

Yes. I don't think most people understand or respect the danger. When 10M-100M of people's lives are at risk, economic considerations must take a back seat to taking extreme/difficult measures that may seem like too much. It&

Italy has a much better healthcare system than the US, and they had about 500 people die today. The US is going to be really hit hard. I've read some of the literature on modeling the outbreak. In 45 days, the US will have no ICU beds

Although I can't see how wiping down the inside of a bus with a single microfiber cloth without chemicals accomplishes anything, but I hope they have the data to prove that this method works. And what about shadows and nonlinearities?

That's some serious ageist hate coming from people who may get to be old themselves someday, with younger generations cheering for their death. The Golden Rule didn't get learned, I guess.

Alex Jones, Jim Baker and whoever these scammers are... Snake oil panacea merchants preying people during on disasters. The FBI, IRS and FTC should throw a whole library at these vile, criminal scumbags.

It's called a semi-log plot. X is linear time, Y is log population count. The slope of exponential-like acceleration phase indicates the growth rate. PS: this type of data is much better modeled by relatively simple ordinary differenti

Here in Paradise, I had some unused 3M N95 NIOSH respirators leftover from the Camp Fire. Who knew they'd be useful for more than gardening and sawing lumber? I also snagged a few 3M 1870 surgical masks before the gouging and scarcity
