lets open everything back up so we can close it back down again 2 weeks from now

also my thread about bill gates was closed by a moderator ...why? cause i said that the virus isnt as dangerous as the media wants us to think ? well yes all the data is showing that.

im being censored on ktt2 now? this is ridiculous.
if i want to spread the message that bill gates is laughing about the crashing economy then why cant i do that here ???
and sorry for my grammar im from germany.

This is pretty spicy. And peer reviewed!

Scientists have discovered an antibody which prevents the coronavirus from infecting human cells in "groundbreaking research" which could lead to the development of new treatments.

Building on research into the SARS coronavirus, scientists from Utrect University in the Netherlands, as well as the Erasmus Medical Centre and the company Harbour BioMed (HBM), have identified a potential method of neutralising COVID-19.

They discovered that an antibody which prevents the SARS virus from infecting human cells could also block the novel coronavirus from infecting human cells too, according a peer reviewed study published on Monday in the journal Nature Communications.

Testing their collection of antibodies on cultured human cells, researchers discovered one which binds to a specific part which is present in both SARS and the virus causing COVID-19.

The discovery could offer an initial step towards developing a fully-human antibody to treat or prevent the disease, which has infected more then 3.5 million people worldwide, and led to more than 247,000 deaths.

The neutralising antibody "has potential to alter the course of infection in the infected host, support virus clearance or protect an uninfected individual that is exposed to the virus," said Dr Berend-Jan Bosch, co-lead author on the study.

Dr Frank Grosveld, the study's other co-lead author, said the discovery provided "a strong foundation for additional research to characterise this antibody and begin development as a potential COVID-19 treatment".

"The antibody used in this work is 'fully human', allowing development to proceed more rapidly and reducing the potential for immune-related side effects," he added.

The fully-human antibody is different from conventional therapeutic antibodies, which are often first developed in other species before being "humanised" so they can be transmitted to people.

It was developed using Harbour BioMed's H2L2 transgenic mouse technology - effectively a mouse which has been genetically engineered to contain human genes, enabling researchers to develop "human" antibodies without testing them on living people.

"This is groundbreaking research," said Dr Jingsong Wang, the chief executive of HBM.

Yesterday, Cali reported only 4.9% of their 28,000+ tests were positive. A few weeks ago, we were averaging over 11% out of much smaller numbers of tests. We're getting healthier

crinebrine

i know it's a monday but only 26 deaths in NL today

really proud

Yoooo

The growth rate for new deaths hit 1% yesterday for the first time since February 26th. That is the only other day at 1% on Worldometers' entire table, which goes back to January 23rd. Additionally, the number of new deaths has dropped for five days straight. That will likely change today with expanded reporting, but it's a good downward trend and visible to the naked eye on any graph.

Anyone else remember February? Feels like a lifetime ago.

Sweden yesterday: 10 deaths
Sweden today: 90 deaths

These are good signs.

The number of infected people remained over 80,000 even at the weekend, but the death toll goes down. Countries are starting to test more, but epicentres like Russia report relatively few deaths.

That will probably change, because Germany went the same route at the beginning (Mar 27: 6,933 new cases and 84 new deaths) and now the numbers are pretty balanced between new cases and new deaths.

I think it's eventually going to show up in the numbers that doctors are treating COVID-19 more appropriately as a virus that attacks the blood than a particularly bad respiratory illness. Coupled with more aggressive, efficient testing practices and new treatments that we find along the way, the CFR will drop significantly over time.

What we're seeing now is most likely the result of milder cases being unearthed, as this graph shows:

Despite the number of active cases climbing significantly, the number of severe and critical cases was identical yesterday to where it was April 12th. Isn't that crazy to think about? Despite everything going haywire, the world has the same number of people in ICU that it did 3 weeks ago.

One question: Were any of the mortality rate charts based off social distancing and stay at home guidelines or made for normal daily life

how come italy only saw change after 2 whole months of lockdown if the incubation period is 1-28 days

remember when trump wanted to reopen by easter

Let's see what the numbers will look like in Spain tomorrow because they just had a national holiday.

B**** ass Xi laughing his ass off somewhere smh

Before pandemic:

After:

Please say a prayer for everyone effected by covid-19 today

That’s literally what I predict here in Georgia, it’s looking like it’s gonna happen too

As of April 12, 2020, Shanghai, China’s financial hub, has reported 607 confirmed cases of COVID-19, while the Chinese capital of Beijing has reported 589 confirmed cases, according to statistics from China's National Health Commission published by state news agency Xinhua.

How the f*** does the foundation of China's economy have less cases than my hometown? S*** is hours away from Wuhan. Some countries can't even deal with the fraction of the amount of people that are in China's 2 most important cities. China mitigating the woefulness and lying about it's numbers, country needs to be held accountable for this, f***ing ridiculous.

Seeing conspiracy f*** heads talk about how the CDC halfed the number of deaths, but those numbers only counted February 1st to April 25th

Half the deaths in America have happened in the last week

We just had our deadliest day, and our “peak” was supposed to be weeks ago

America is sooo f***ed for the summer.

just wait till next winter

Incubation period fam..

It’s so worrying seeing ppl think things are getting better , going out to hang with friends and states opening back up

They aren’t. This thing is far from over, we are in a s*** storm right now with more and more states planning to open up by June.

The American media wants Americans to think the situations in Europe are so much worse but Europe is well on their way to recovery, meanwhile we here in America are taking 1 step forward and 10 steps back
