Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)


What is a coronavirus? - Elizabeth Cox

May 14, 2020

Dig into the science of coronaviruses and find out how they cause diseases such as SARS, MERS, and COVID-19.

For almost a decade, scientists chased the source of a deadly new virus through China’s tallest mountains and most isolated caverns. They finally found it in the bats of Shitou Cave. The virus in question was a coronavirus that caused an epidemic of severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS, in 2003. So what exactly is a coronavirus, and how does it spread? Elizabeth Cox explains.

3D model of the SARS-CoV-2 virus at atomic resolution
May 11, 2020

Biomedical visualization studio Visual Science has created the most detailed and scientifically accurate 3D model of the SARS-CoV-2 virus at atomic resolution. The model is based on the latest scientific research into the structure of coronaviruses, as well as input from expert virologists involved in the research. This is the most accurate model of the SARS-CoV-2 viral particle currently available. To produce it, Visual Science employed the same techniques of structural bioinformatics used in basic research and drug development.

The SARS-CoV-2 virus model is a part of Visual Science's non-commercial Viral Park project. Viral Park's past successes include models of HIV, influenza A/H1N1, Ebola, papilloma, and Zika virions.

We use the same color scheme throughout the whole Viral Park project. Bright colors show the proteins encoded by the viral genome. Shades of gray correspond to the structures taken by virus from the host cell. Thus we emphasize the parasitic and non-autonomous nature of the viruses.

The best mask for big faces- from Hedley & Bennett

May 16, 2020

Finally- a mask that fits my big face! This mask from Hedley & Bennett- https://bit.ly/hedbenmask is the first face mask that doesn't have my nose or chin popping out when I talk. The "Wake Up and Fight" mask is very comfortable and sure to become a family favorite, though it still has issues with fogging up my reading glasses.

How do virus tests actually work? - Cella Wright

May 18, 2020

Dig into two testing techniques for viruses: PCR tests to diagnose an infection and immunoassays to detect antibodies.

A new virus emerges and spreads like wildfire. In order to contain it, researchers must first collect data about who’s been infected. Two main viral testing techniques are critical: one tells you if you have the virus and the other shows if you’ve already had it. So, how exactly do these tests work? Cella Wright explores the science of PCR tests and immunoassays.

How do ventilators work? - Alex Gendler

May 21, 2020

Take a journey into the respiratory system to see how ventilators bypass constricted airways and help damaged lungs send oxygen to the body.

In the 16th century, physician Andreas Vesalius described how a suffocating animal could be kept alive by inserting a tube into its trachea and blowing air to inflate its lungs. Today, Vesalius’s treatise is recognized as the first description of mechanical ventilation— a crucial practice in modern medicine. So how do our modern ventilators work? Alex Gendler explains the life-saving technology.

Fighting COVID-19: TUG Autonomous Mobile Robots

May 21, 2020

See how our TUG Autonomous Mobile Robots are helping to take the load off healthcare workers and supporting the COVID-19 situation in Singapore. At the vast Community Care Facilities, our TUG robots deliver heavy items to personnel in the green zones (where gloves are not required) and drop off meals and linens at various points within the patient care facility.

Airwheel F3 fresh air mask, reusavle and smart with mobile app

May 26, 2020

The electric mask’s filter is the same standard as N95, and the filter can be replaced. The protection level is FFP2.
Usually, after the filter is used for 16h, we will suggest to change. If used frequently, we suggest you prepare more filters.

Exponential Wisdom Episode 87: how industries will change

May 28, 2020

Peter and Dan discuss the ways in which today’s pandemic will fundamentally reshape a handful of industries, from commercial aviation to education. For most of us, we will not be returning to business as usual. Rather, we will see the emergence of redefined and reorganized companies, made resilient by their need to adapt to new market conditions.
