You can read their press releases from December to see if their medicine might help you and talk it over with your doctor. The stock more than doubled overnight and hasn't sold off so investors must be convinced it's a significant breakthrough.

Good luck Zem and you're in my prayers.
I looked it up over lunch. It's aimed at Lupus Nephritis which effects the kidneys. My Lupus primarily screws with my blood and doesn't have a fancy name. This is great news for those folks though. I don't know of any treatments specifically for that type of lupus and it can be more severe and result in kidney failure.

Okay enough about me let's get back to the coronavirus.

NYT reporters are looking into it, based on their sources inside China.

I'm not too enthralled with the NYT and their ability to investigate and fact check things these days.

Abstract:
Quote:

We are currently witnessing a major epidemic caused by the 2019 novel coronavirus (2019- nCoV). The evolution of 2019-nCoV remains elusive. We found 4 insertions in the spike glycoprotein (S) which are unique to the 2019-nCoV and are not present in other coronaviruses. Importantly, amino acid residues in all the 4 inserts have identity or similarity to those in the HIV1 gp120 or HIV-1 Gag. Interestingly, despite the inserts being discontinuous on the primary amino acid sequence, 3D-modelling of the 2019-nCoV suggests that they converge to constitute the receptor binding site. The finding of 4 unique inserts in the 2019-nCoV, all of which have identity /similarity to amino acid residues in key structural proteins of HIV-1 is unlikely to be fortuitous in nature. This work provides yet unknown insights on 2019-nCoV and sheds light on the evolution and pathogenicity of this virus with important implications for diagnosis of this virus.

I have zero scientific expertise.

NYT WAS very good on science news. They let Nicholas Wade get away with many "thought crimes." Harmon is however an ideologue.

They have reporters inside China. I think the reporting is worth following.

edit: I bet the alarmists will be more correct than not. Look at how neighbors have been responding by the day, always an important clue as to what's happening in the big picture

Didn't Australian scientists claim to recreate virus in lab a few days ago, would think something like this HIV structure issue would have presented itself sooner if true....

I am starting to feel a lot better about this. The numbers outside china are encouraging. Too many countries to likely be involved in any massive coverup. Hopefully the 'recovered' ratio start outpacing the 'dead' ratio soon.

They're screening. The concern is that these people came directly from ground zero.

United is down to 4/day out of what was 12 I believe. Not sure if those include Hong Kong though.

Aaaaand then i read some crap about how this is an artificial fusion of hiv and corona and recovered people's immune systems may be forever compromsed. Thats ****ing great. Hopfully false.

The 'it has a lethal second kick' hasnt panned out and i think we would have seen that by now'
The 'it is communicable among all mammals' hasnt seemed to grow legs.
Hopefully this one isnt tue either.

I got the impression the hiv components make it more stable, should be easier for your body to fight. Also explains the rumor that hiv anti-virals helped cure some people.

Don't anti-virals function by preventing the virus from
1) Binding to the method of entry
2) preventing the virus from exiting the diseased cell
3) Pause replication of the virus envelope?

Yeah I don't know. Infectious diseases isn't a common research interest of mine.

The twitter thread mentioned that what they stole from HIV was the RNA quality control system so that the RNA doesn't continuously mutate within the cell. In my mind, a more stable virus should make it easier for your body to get under control.

Isn't HIV really bad because it attacks the immune system cells, and is constantly changing its binding methods?



Also I'm just relaying a rumor I read that HIV medicine helped in a couple "cured" cases. Whether or not thats true, related to the "engineered" code, or whatever. Its beyond me.

It's a computer model of the replicated sequence they are analyzing.

Follow up addendum to this. Enormous potential implications here. This ain't tinfoil hat stuff; there are real ties between academics and biotech companies / research facilities that have connections to where this new outbreak of engineered coronavirus was tweaked and released. A lot of tossing around of the term conspiracy theorist on here, but there are screaming inadequacies throughout this saga that demand answers, of which go beyond the public domain. I ain't going to try and answer why this non-natural strain of the virus was created, but I do know it's rarely what untrustworthy government officials say it's for.

Not sure is someone already posted this article from 1/28:
https://boston.cbslocal.com/2020/01/28/massachusetts-china-indictments-charles-lieber-yanqing-ye-zaosong-zheng/

Quote:

Federal Agents arrested Dr. Charles Lieber, chair of Harvard University's Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology, with lying to the Department of Defense about secret monthly payments of $50,000.00 paid by China and receipt of millions more to help set up a chemical/biological "Research" laboratory in China. Also arrested were two Chinese "Students" working as research assistants, one of whom was actually a lieutenant in the Chinese Army, the other captured at Logan Airport as he tried to catch a flight to China - smuggling 21 vials of "Sensitive Biological Samples" according to the FBI.

The research lab the good professor had helped set up? It's located at the Wuhan University of Technology. Wuhan China is ground zero to the potentially global pandemic known as the "Coronavirus"."

I asked my expert: Thanks for the paper...but hypothetically, what if the sequence is accurate and there are HIV insertions?
Quote:

No, it isn't, neither are any of the conclusions.

Once again, this is fiction.

Use good sources, get good information

Crap in, crap out

But there is so much bad information

Just use PubMed and top journals, not Twitter

You will get more useful information

There is a lot of crap, even in PubMed.
