Hello!! It's Joseph

Monitoring tools such as those Netanyahu mentioned have been employed in countries such as China and South Korea to help contain the virus. Last week, South Korea announced it would escalate its monitoring with a government-developed smart city system that will utilize data such as surveillance camera footage and credit card transactions to trace patient movements. Taiwan is tracking people via sim cards and through its many containment measures has managed to slow down the spread admirably, though officials warn communal contagion is only a matter of time The government does not have a choice on the matter, Netanyahu said. “We are facing a war that demands unique steps, steps that are not simple and it requires some invasion of privacy. This measure was trialed in Wuhan and Israel is one of the only countries that have this ability—and we will use it.” The Shin Bet, Israel’s domestic security service, confirmed that it was examining the use of its technological

The virus may become universal. The reaction to it won’t be. From China’s lockdown to the hidden spread of the virus in Southeast Asia to the damage done by a gutted pandemic response team in the United States, Foreign Policy is covering the crisis from all angles. Learn more about how the virus is affecting countries around the world: In Iran:  Sanctions threaten to turn an outbreak into a catastrophe. In the United States:  Government disorganization could send the virus spiraling out of control. In Indonesia:  Anti-Chinese conspiracy theories are spreading faster than the virus. In Lebanon : Grappling with economic and political turmoil, Lebanon’s government is under-equipped for a public health emergency. In Japan: The Japanese economy was already limping. Now the coronavirus has left it prone. In North Korea: The country has sealed its borders—but an outbreak would be a chance for the United States to do good. In South Korea: Cults and conservatives have sp

what is protein folding? wiki Protein folding is the physical process by which a protein chain acquires its native 3-dimensional structure, a conformation that is usually biologically functional, in an expeditious and reproducible manner. It is the physical process by which a polypeptide folds into its characteristic and functional three-dimensional structure from a random coil. Each protein exists as an unfolded polypeptide or random coil when translated from a sequence of mRNA to a linear chain of amino acids.

Antigen test ( aka swap test) is quick and do-it-yourself test. RT-PCR test is gold standard and more accurate China: Chengdu Japan: Visigene Korea: Seegene's Allplex Kogene Biotech. PCL SolGent's DiaPlexQ Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) Detection Kit (DiaPlexQ) - approved by FDA for urgent use SD Biosensor STANDARD M  BioZentech of KUGH detects  the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) and E genes of COVID-19 using the multiplex lamp diagnostic method. Widespread testing has helped it get a handle on the scale of the epidemic, but once diagnosed with the virus patients need to be isolated and treated. In Daegu, hospital beds are running out and public anger is rising over a shortage of masks and other supplies. Expanded testing will likely show that transmission within communities has been taking place for longer than realized. USA: from CDC On Feb. 12, the CDC announced the test was providing inconclusive results in some laboratories. The problem was

This might be my last post for a while as I still need to focus on recovering my body damaged by coronavirus and side effects of the medicine. I wish all of you stay healthy and away from this nasty coronavirus. A Story of a recovered person from coronavirus I am writing this story for my friends and their loved ones to stay healthy and to keep away from this deadly virus. This is very long but more detailed information might be useful at this high uncertain time. So, I am writing more detailed long message. As coronavirus is a very new virus, there is no concrete information as scientists could not analyze the case well yet. So, there are many conflicting information and also a lot of confusion and uncertainty. Those confusion and uncertainty create fear as well. We must be cautious! But no panic and no fear. Even it is stil preliminary one, according to the report from China Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CCDC) issued on February 17th over 72,314 c

IEEE Spectrum Nextstrain can’t predict where the virus is going next. But it can tell us where new cases of the virus are coming from. That’s crucial information for health officials globally, who are trying to determine whether new cases are arriving in their countries through international travel, or being transmitted locally. By comparing the genetic codes of viral samples taken globally, it’s possible to construct a map of the virus’s mutations as it moves around the world. That’s what Nextstrain does. “We rely on the presence of these naturally occurring genetic mutations to inform our visualizations of the virus’s spread,” says Hadfield. Nextstrain charts a virus like a family tree, or evolutionary timeline. For coronavirus, that family tree originates in the Chinese city of Wuhan, and branches out from there. When new cases pop up, the genetic code of those viral samples can be compared to those in the database to determine its region of origin.  For example, in the
