PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — University of Pittsburgh scientists have isolated a biomolecule that “completely and specifically” neutralizes the virus that causes coronavirus.

University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine researchers isolated the smallest biological molecule to date that neutralizes the SARS-CoV-2 virus, according to a report published Monday in the journal Cell. The antibody component is 10 times smaller than a full-sized antibody and has been used to create a drug known as Ab8 for use as a therapeutic and preventative against SARS-CoV-2, the report says.

The researchers reported that Ab8 is “highly effective” in preventing and treating SARS-CoV-2 infection in mice and hamsters.

If this ends the Pandemic I will be a Pitt Panther fan for life.

Big public research rules.

The stupidity here is truly heartbreaking. The internet has made everyone believe they are woke and wise.  It's ruining everything. I hate how there are kids here spewing the dogma as well. Just gross.

The news media will widely publicize the George Floyd murder, but wouldn’t touch this guys reaction to the two cops getting shot with a ten foot pole. 

Saw this reported on CNN, Jake Tapper called it disgusting.

I'm a desperate man
Send lawyers, guns, and money
The shit has hit the fan

My favorite is when they supply a link to a news source and then tell you the media is not talking about this in the same post.

So...... back to COVID. Looks like at my wife’s facility they are going to be using saliva tests (which get results in 15 minutes) in addition to the swabs. 

As I side note, I know some in the Nevada AD believe that this will be the thing that gets hoops up and running.

Any fine analysis like this one that uses CFR is shit (CFR is NOT the death rate for this virus as it’s based on known / confirmed cases and the scientific and medical communities know that there are many many more cases that go undetected - CDC estimates actual case count is 6 to 24x’s higher)...  but we’re dealing with a number-illiterate analytical midget CNN editor here pushing a fear agenda.   😂

There is a spectrum of pushing a fear agenda on one end, and pushing harmful ignorance on the other.  Somewhere on that spectrum is where you both live at.  :coffeecomputer:

As do you.  I’ve only called out the stupidity of the analysis and not pushed anything but so keep the weak ad hominem to yourself.  If you want to refute what I said then let’s hear it.

Okay, then we can use IFR, which has been estimated at around 0.65-1%, on the low end of that spectrum we're only looking at the potential of 1-1.2M deaths.
