A local company says it is making significant progress in developing an antibody treatment to fight COVID-19.
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.
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.

This is how Germany is preparing to rescue the economy after the Coronavirus pandemic without sacrificing the fight for the climate.
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.

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.
"The mix of electrical and pneumatic components, if you take everything from Festo, has the big advantage that you have one contact person."

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.
Stacking, folding, cutting: Our fully automated mask-production line can do it all. With five lines being set up worldwide, we will be able to produce over half a million masks per day to protect our associates. The system was developed by our special-purpose machinery unit in just a few weeks.
One year to eighteen months might seem like a while to wait for a COVID-19 vaccine, but there's a good reason finding and approving a candidate takes a whole lot of time.
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.
Door handles spread germs. We created this product to allow schools, businesses, and public buildings to create a safe environment for the communities they serve.
When it comes to fighting COVID-19, scientists are throwing every bit of science we’ve got at it. A creative technique some researchers are looking into involves using gene therapy to fight this virus with… another virus!
C-Astra is a battery powered robot which, autonomously navigates the hospitals, stores, schools and offices to spread irradiation and disinfect common touch points like door knobs, elevator buttons etc. subsequently reducing the risk of spreading viral diseases.
