    The coronavirus could be up to 1,000 times more infectious than SARS because it plagues the body in the same way as HIV and Ebola, scientists warn.

    Experts initially presumed the spread of COVID-19 would follow the same trajectory as the SARS outbreak in 2002/3, because the viruses are almost identical genetically.

    But they have discovered the way it binds to cells in the human body is akin to far more aggressive diseases like HIV and Ebola.

    This makes it '100 to 1,000 times' more efficient at infecting people than SARS, according to researchers from Nankai University in Tianjin, northern China.

    A new war in the middle East between NATO and Russia is looming, subsequent refugee swarm, a seemingly never ending procession of storms, plagues of locusts and now a pandemic.
    Maybe we should just admit we're ****ed and that no amount of hand sanitiser or stockpiling will save us from the impending doom.

    🙈🙉🙊

    I'm no microbiologist but the wording of that looks like a bad Google translation of a tabloid article.

    The north koreans will just shoot anyone who has symptoms so oddly enough they'll probably be the fastest to recover!

    It’s not banned? You’d better tell them so because they think that it’s against the law.
