Researchers exploring the interaction between the coronavirus and its hosts have discovered that when the SARS-CoV-2 virus infects a human cell, it sets off a ghoulish transformation. Obeying instructions from the virus, the newly infected cell sprouts multi-pronged tentacles studded with viral particles. These disfigured … Continue reading
Coronavirus Was in Italy Back in DECEMBER, Sewers Show
The coronavirus was present in two large Italian cities in December, more than two months before the first case was detected, a national health institute study of waste water has found. That suggests the virus appeared in Italy around the same time it was first reported in China. Researchers discovered genetic traces of SARS-CoV-2 — as the virus is officially … Continue reading
Study Reveals Why Men Are More Vulnerable to COVID-19
Scientists say the higher levels of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) found in men may explain why men are more vulnerable to the COVID-19 novel coronavirus than women. A new study published in the European Heart Journal on Monday has provided scientific evidence that men have higher concentrations of ACE2 in their blood than women. ACE2, which is found in organs … Continue reading

Coronavirus Found in Semen, Raising Questions of Sexual Transmission
Scientists are still learning about the ways the coronavirus moves through the body. Viral particles have been found in saliva, blood, urine, and stool samples. A new study, published Thursday in the Journal of the American Medicine Association, found the coronavirus in semen, too. Particles were detected in the semen of both men who had active infections and those who … Continue reading
COVID-19 May Have Been Spreading as Early as October 2019
A new study published by scientists at University College London’s Genetics Institute suggests that COVID-19 may have emerged as early as October 2019. The study, which was published on May 5 in the journal Infection, Genetics and Evolution, was based on a study of samples from more than 7,500 people infected with the novel coronavirus. The researchers found almost 200 … Continue reading
COVID-19 Pandemic Could Last For Two Years Warns Infectious Disease Agency
“The researchers also urged states, territories and tribal health authorities to plan for the worst-case scenario… to assume that there will be no “vaccine availability or herd community.”” via sputniknews: A new report released Thursday by the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy (CIDRAP) at the University of Minnesota predicts that the coronavirus pandemic could last for as long … Continue reading
France Already Had Covid-19 ‘Silently Circulating’ Even Before Virus Arrived from China & Italy
The outbreak of the coronavirus in France has little to do with cases imported from China or Italy, as another strain of the disease of unknown origin had already been infecting people in the country, research claims. The virologists at the Pasteur Institute in Paris have sequenced the genomes from samples taken from 97 French and three Algerian coronavirus patients … Continue reading
