About COVID-19

Two papers on the COVID-19 Crisis from a Biologist

 With two months of provisions packed into the house in preparation to "shelter at home" from the rapidly approaching COVID-19 storm , I wrote some thoughts from my perspective as a biologist for friends, family and neighbors whose questions were pouring in. Click the button for the pdf.

1. Intro to the Covid-19 crisis; March 24

Two very busy weeks later the COVID-19 storm is upon us with fury. Most of the US is locked down and reeling. Medical resources in New York City and New Orleans are overwhelmed. Already incomprehensible levels of illness and death are around us, but are still accelerating toward a peak that is still about a week away. In hopes of being of help, here are further observations and thoughts.   Click the button for the pdf. 

2. Into the Storm; April 5

The impacts of quarantine may be more damaging to poor countries than COVID-19 is. Effective social distancing prevents herd immunity so COVID-19 resurgence could be a problem into 2020. Need for massive testing.  COVID-19 side-effect impacts.

In human lung cell cultures and in animal testing, an RNA polymerase inhibitor, EIDD-2801 showd impressive ability to block replication in the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Unlike Remdesivir which must be given IV, this inhibitor can be administered orally which makes it far more practical to deploy. With potential as a prophylactic AND a treatment human clinical trials should start this spring.
