The novel coronavirus uses the same strategy to evade attack from the human immune system as HIV, according to a new study by Chinese scientists.
Both viruses remove marker molecules on the surface of an infected cell that are used by the immune system to identify invaders, the researchers said in a non-peer reviewed paper posted on preprint website bioRxiv.org on Sunday. They warned that this commonality could mean Sars-CoV-2, the clinical name for the virus, could be around for some time, like HIV.
Virologist Zhang Hui and a team from Sun Yat-sen University in Guangzhou also said their discovery added weight to clinical observations that the coronavirus was showing “some characteristics of viruses causing chronic infection”.

China has scientists of great knowlege as does the rest of the world and in particular the USA and Western Europe.
Their basic research is to be trusted unless it has political implications as does this Covid Pandemic. On this they are simply damn liars.
The few researchers in China that spoke the truth have been “disappeared.” I hope they are alive but doubt it. If they are alive, in the future they can expose the lies. I think they are dead. It will be as if they never existed.
Agree. For the most part, those in government lie. Look at our Democratic party for an example.
Bodies laying on the street in third world countries is normal.
Brazil has a population over 200m. 20k deaths is not even a rounding error. If the final toll is 50 times higher than that even, it will still amount to all of a half percent of their population.
Get out of fear mode. This was never a killer virus.
Re the Coronavirus evasion strategy. Now you know why, in Red China, they call it “The Wu Han Flew and Evasion Virus”.
i wonder how many folks the chinese decided to purge, under the guise of ‘coronavirus’
10 points for using the word “panoply”
This is not so surprising when you consider very informed people are saying that a segment of RNA from the AIDS virus seems to be grafted into the Wuhan Corona Virus

LOL
We routinely screen with a combo antigen & antibody combo test. Ive been testing with it since 2011.
Well the CCP still refuses to share any of its data on this virus
What’s odd is that so many nations have gone to stupid and useless lock downs of healthy people in order to fight a disease
Please don’t refer to asymptomatic transmission. There is no evidence that this is true.
HIV and SARS
If it apparently was not a big deal, why then did the CCP shut down entire huge cities?
Didn’t the dying also happen in NYC area, Italy and Spain and is it of control in Brazil right now?
Now they say it’s running wild in Brazil. Is that real? No idea.

However, there _is_ real, intensely active hatred against Bolsonaro.
But POTUS shut down travel from Brazil. An excess of caution?
Coronavirus uses same strategy as HIV to dodge immune response
Just as it was designed to do.
Chinese junk science designed to keep the fear going. If this bit of junk science were really true, people couldn’t recover.
I don’t know. I know that President Trump obviously knows more than we do on what exactly is going on at any given location, and I do trust him, but I just don’t know about the veracity of any reports on covid from anywhere. There’s been so much lying and head games in this matter.
Oh, yeah, I am behind the times there. And it looks like results much quicker these days. Didn’t it used to take something like 6 months to be able to detect the antibodies?
To suppress dissent, which was spreading fast due to what was going on in Hong Kong.
When the lock downs started no one knew what the chinese filth was and how powerful it might be...
The Chinese have shown us who they are... let’s take the warning seriously and pull back on dealing with them. Put tariffs on everything they produce.
Brazil has a population over 200m. 20k deaths is not even a rounding error. If the final toll is 50 times higher than that even, it will still amount to all of a half percent of their population.

I think you're in denial - a sign of fear. By your words, you are telling the world you have no feelings for those who've died or been injured from this around the globe, including over 100 thousand of your own fellow countrymen who've died, not to mention those impacted for life. You're also ignorant of some very basic facts:
Brazil isn't a third world country. And any disease which has killed over 100k people in the USA alone, in less than three months, is most certainly "a killer". It's well on its way to becoming the biggest killer since the Spanish flu epidemic which occurred at the beginning of the last century.
That's enough bodies to fill 1,400 refrigerated 18-wheeler trailers with 72 bodies each. That's a convoy 27 miles long, at Interstate speeds, would take it over half an hour to pass thru your town. This number died in less than three months and we still have no idea how long we'll have to deal with CV.
For everyone who died, many suffered the traumatic experience of having a loved one die - over a million people are missing a close relative, if for everyone who died, ten were left behind to morn them.
This isn't over. Repercussions will be many and great. They may eventually become existential if world war breaks out.
