Scientists learning about coronavirus at unprecedented speed

Just months after Chinese officials identified a small cluster of unexplained pneumonia cases in the city of Wuhan, scientists around the globe have broken down the coronavirus at unprecedented speed in an effort to save lives and stop its spread.

The first global pandemic of the social media age and the first major outbreak of the internet era has created an explosion of learning. At the same time, studies published on a seemingly daily basis are raising just as many new questions as they’re answering about the deadly virus.

Medical and scientific journals can hardly keep up. Since the beginning of February, the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) has received at least 20 coronavirus-related submissions every day. In recent weeks, that number has grown to 150 a day. On Monday, they received 174 submissions.

Only a small percentage make it into print, said Jennifer Zeis, the journal's communications director. But that still means that the country’s premier medical journal had published 64 articles about the coronavirus and COVID-19 since Jan. 24.

In past outbreaks, it might have taken weeks or months to isolate the virus, and much longer for that information to get to laboratories around the world. This time, scientists began work on at least one potential vaccine even before the United States reported its first case of the virus on Jan. 21.

Microbiology is a fascinating subject

Being able to break down the DNA and RNA of anything into ribonucleic acid pairs adenosine etc. is quite amazing

The advances in science and medicine that have occurred in the last 20 years since the last SARS outbreak in 2003 are stunning

Fortunately for the world there’s a lot more understanding of the evil side of the vaccine industry And all the deaths and injuries that they have caused worldwide during this 40 year. That they’ve had so much power

Again don’t get me wrong - Jonas Salk is a hero and there certainly is legitimacy to the concept of vaccination

I’m talking about the Democrat medical establishment girls that want to force everybody to inject these poisons into their body as they did last year with measles. Anybody remember all that legislation just last year that forest that down everybody’s throats ?

“According to ABC News and the New York Times Trump knew in November and did nothing.”

Yes, according them.
They are liars.

To: yesthatjallen; All
Thank you for referencing that article yesthatjallen. Please note that the following critique is directed at the article and not at you.

"Scientists learning about coronavirus at unprecedented speed"

OK, civilization will recover much faster from SARS-CoV-2 than from previous pandemics.

But it remains that the virus caught much of the world, even the US, unprepared, anti-constitutional republic, “Orange Man Bad” Democrats, RINOs and media making things worse by weaponizing pandemic against PDJT imo.

Send "Orange Man Bad" federal and state government Democrats and RINOs home in November!

Supporting PDJT with a new patriot Congress and state government leaders that will promise to fully support his already excellent work for MAGA and stopping SARS-CoV-2 will effectively give fast-working Trump a third term in office imo.

MAGA, also KAGA! (Keep America Great Always!)

We all knew Hillary was a sick puppy but of course the media covered it up and Pelosi was the one that held up the stimulus plan.
