Australian scientists said Tuesday that they successfully developed a lab-grown version of the coronavirus-- the first to create a version outside of China-- which is seen as a "significant breakthrough."
Researchers from the Peter Doherty Institute for Infection and Immunity in Melbourne will share their discovery with the World Health Organization (WHO) in the hope it could improve efforts to treat and diagnose the virus, which has killed 132 people and infected nearly 6,000 in China and abroad.
The Doherty Institute's Virus Identification Laboratory Head Dr. Julian Druce said having the real virus could be used as "control material" for testing while describing it as a "game-changer," according to the Telegraph.

Let the high throughput screening commence.
pong
Wow
Lol
I wonder if they can determine if is bio weapon that got loose from a sample.
that one guy in the airport photo looks like he saran wrapped his eyes
Necessity is the mother of invention.
In this case, the father is the plastics industry.
The first photo is funny to me. You have one guy with a bottle over his entire head, the other with a helmet with the visor lifted up and no mask..and a vendor who could care less and has no protection at all. She just wants the money
It is not a biological warfare agent. For info see this https://www.freerepublic.com/tag/by:admsmith/index?tab=comments;brevity=full;options=no-change
see what??? What is your source that the virus from a patient has been sequenced and it is known for sure it is not a bioweapon.
We already know this exact type of thing was built in a lab at Chapel Hill..even if it isn’t this specific one.
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
So far the false positive rate is 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...
If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.
Their top-flight scientists must have been working instead of being on TV networks telling the public to wash their hands.
You may read the articles that are linked and study the RNA sequences together with the phylogenetic trees that are published, then you know that is not a biological warfare agent gone wild.
Admitting it is a bioweapon without absolute proof, kicks it over the WMD threshold.
According to US doctrine, a WMD is a WMD is a WMD. Under this doctrine, any hostile use of any WMD can trigger a full nuclear response.
Let’s not go there until and unless we are certain they’ve deliberately crossed that threshold.
GIve me a link that says they know for sure it is not man made.
It can be man made. Chapel Hill proved it.
I don’t think they know yet on this one.
Just read the links in my posts and if you need more background this is a good start: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svlKm4S1M3Y
No, I don’t want to read all of your links. Provide the source that says they know for sure it is not man made. Either you have one or you dont
Btw, here is one way back when concerning SARS. more than likely we are going to end up seeing the same thing with this one.

I think we’re somewhere around 65 million abortions in the U.S. since 1973.
