Coronavirus

Look at the currency markets and AUD has dropped the most of the majors since the virus made headlines.

Tells me that there isn't much confidence in our country and rightfully so and that we really need to start diversifying what we sell and who too. Morrison needs to keep working hard getting deals and agreements with India.

I could totally imagine Scott Morrison as loto looking grimly imto the camera and accusing the ALP of racism if they banned on Chinese passengers in the way that his government has.

Whether by design or incompetence the ALP have said little on this issue, from what we saw of the Libs during their last spell in opposition is that no issue was to big or to small to try to politicise.

Oh I see............you're picking & choosing...........again.

They're all bad. The problem is that you don't know it.

Only two days ago, the Queensland premier backed by Alabnese tried to score points only to drop the topic quickly when her claims were shot down by the health department. ALP, LNP and GRNs are all.as bad as eachother. Just chasing a quick win.

Have any caucasian cases been confirmed yet?

??????

This is relevant because?

??????

Because I believe out of 12 000 people not a single causcasian case has been confirmed yet.

 

[Frank Grimes]

Because I believe out of 12 000 people not a single causcasian case has been confirmed yet.

Are you saying you think Caucasians are immune to it?

Besides how do you know no Caucasians hasn't caught it? I haven't really read anything to say not a single Caucasian has caught it.

 

[Snake_Baker]

This is an amazing claim.

You have some genetics related information to share?

What are you and that other idiot trying to imply? That facts are racist? It's been mentioned by the news days ago no Caucasian cases have been confirmed. I'm wondering if that's still the case unless I'm not allowed to?

No, you could very well have some genetic point here, it's just that in the absence of such a thing, you are making a ridiculous assumption. I have some training in molecular biology, immunology and medical microbiology, so I am not making that claim lightly.

What do you do?

**** about in a lab. I'm not doing biotech.

IIRC FWIW there was a conspiracy theory that it was designed and weaponinsed for Asians. Make of that what you will.

Cant remember. If I come across it again, I will post it.

Ive actually read an article with the premise being the possibility of biowarfare thats race targeted.

ill see if i can find it.

Came across this:

Structural analyses confidently predict that the Wuhan coronavirus uses ACE2 as its host receptor. According to their modeling, although the binding strength between 2019-nCov and ACE2 is weaker than that between SARS-Cov and ACE2, it is still much higher than the threshold required for virus infection. Of note, the 2 male donors have a higher ACE2-expressing cell ratio than all other 6 female donors (1.66% vs. 0.41% of all cells, P value=0.07). In addition, the distribution of ACE2 is also more widespread in male donors than females: at least 5 different types of cells in male lung express this receptor, while only 2~4 types of cells in female lung express the receptor. This result is highly consistent with the epidemic investigation showing that most of the confirmed 2019-nCov infected patients were men (30 vs. 11, by Jan 2, 2020). We also noticed that the only Asian donor (male) has a much higher ACE2-expressing cell ratio than white and African American donors (2.50% vs. 0.47% of all cells). This might explain the observation that the new Coronavirus pandemic and previous SARS-Cov pandemic are concentrated in the Asian area. ACE2 is previously known as the receptor for SARS-Cov and NL634–6.

Interesting, but the bloke is an anti-vaxxer and his PhD is in ecology, so I will need a more credible source.

Found it! It appears he lifted the information from here:

Did a little more research and it appears that there may very well be a genetic factor at play here.

Good work HardcoreGeelongFan & Dry Rot.

Kizzmekia Corbett, lead researcher on the NIH coronavirus vaccine team, said her group had been concentrating on the spike proteins – the spear point of the virus,. This built on work done during the severe acute respiratory syndrome (Sars) outbreak that first emerged in China in 2001, another coronavirus thought to be similar to the Wuhan virus.

The virus looks like a knobbly ball covered in protrusions that widen at the tip. These are spike proteins, which are able to dock to a receptor found in the lung membrane known as ACE-2, which allows the virus to enter the body.

Corbett said that since the release of the Chinese sequence on 10 January, her team had been working around the clock to produce a stable version of the key protein that would prompt a strong antibody defence to prevent the virus entering the body.



She said: “Coronaviruses are generally just a large family of pathogens of which six – well, now seven – are infectious to humans.

“Sars and the Wuhan coronavirus are similar across 82% of the entire genome. But from a vaccine point of view we were interested only in the spike, which is 70% identical.

“We had already published research on Sars and Mers (Middle East respiratory syndrome) and shown we could drop some stabilising mutations into the backbone of the spike after a colleague did this with the S protein of the respiratory syncytial virus,” she added.

Return of the Coronavirus: 2019-nCoV

The emergence of a novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) has awakened the echoes of SARS-CoV from nearly two decades ago. Yet, with technological advances and important lessons gained from previous outbreaks, perhaps the world is better equipped to deal with the most recent emergent group 2B coronavirus.

Preprint means that it has been early released given current coronavirus emergency before peer review process. Major weakness is it only had one Asian patient out of 8 samples so statistically could be random chance.
