I guess the coronacrisis also gave you the time to wait for it ;)

As a biomedical researcher, I think it's amazing to see how fast research progresses once enough funding is provided. In 2020 alone, clinical phase III trials have already started which test HIV or Ebola drugs (and might be successful to some degree), an antibody against SARS-CoV-2 has been developed and and vaccines are developed by over 80 institutions (I just published a video about recent COVID-19 breakthroughs). Last week, scientists also found out that SARS-CoV-2 is currently not able to infect dogs or lifestock but might unfortunately be able to infect cats. Great video, I'm enjoying it!

Thank you...you are an amazing teacher. I studied biology 25 years ago in India and I wish I had a teacher like you....I would have persisted and worked harder. I always loved biology but as a young person, the teachers never engaged or explained. One was expected to rote learn...🙁. But, it’s never too late to learn🙂.

First time ever i'm waiting for a video on youtube. So excited to learn again.

"Who's that pokemmoonn" rewatched that bit multiple times. very cute very endearing.

Hey ninja nerd. Great video as usual. I have to correct some of the molecular bio here though. When the spike protein binds to the ace 2, and TMPRSS2 cleaves the spike protein to expose the fusion peptide which inserts into the membrane, the virus doesn’t enter the cell vis endocytosis. It enters via fusion of the host cell membrane and it’s vial envelope and dumps it’s RNA into the cytoplasm. The second thing is the gene expression portion. You are correct when you said that the RNA will be initially translated into polyproteins first. But this is to create the replicate transcriptase complex which will include the rna dependent RNA polymerase. This replicas transcriptase complex then proceeds to transcribe the genes encoding for the structural proteins via a process called discontinuous transcription to produce the sub-genomic mRNAs which will then be translated into the structural proteins.

It is up to us to take notes (believe him) or decide on leaving his classroom.

My first time to ever wait for a KZread video considering how busy I can be, and by the way it’s gonna be midnight here but I don’t mind.. for I expect this to go down with some of the best information we seek out there.. let’s do this Zack Rob Kris

You had me at explaining in layman's terms.

Zach you guys are national treasures. Absolute national treasures. You do so much good with your information you share and without any agenda behind you other than to explain things so people can understand many different health issues, physiological issues, etc. There isn't enough good I can say for you guys. You spread absolute GOOD with every video you make. You help so many people I know to understand more about many things, and of course, COVID-19 that many are not getting good reliable information because of a variety of issues (chosen sources, etc.).

I am looking forward to this video especially since I majoring in Public Health and find it important to keep myself updated on the current status and statistics of the pandemic. I will definitely share this video with my Epidemiology class.

Hi me again. I should have mentioned this in my first comment about your brilliant Covid 19 videos. You may have saved my life, and many others. I speak specifically for myself. When the outbreak started people didn't take it that seriously, being like "oh its death rate is lower than the flu". But quickly when the outbreak started in south Africa, the panic started, and people started to realise how serious this is.... especially its infection rate. But for me, specifically, you made me see how especially cautious I should be. I am a lifelong asthmatic, and unfortunately and STUPIDLY a heavy smoker (I know I'm an idiot) and 10 years ago I had a deep vein thrombosis in the leg (dude i was 23, didn't have a clue it could be that, i thought i pulled a muscle, i didn't have any of the usual symptoms such as redness in the area of the clot nor the swelling in the leg). I struggled to breathe more and more with a week that passed, which is pretty normal for me since the one thing I SUCK AT in life happens to be breathing, ha ha sorry laughing at myself silly me. and of course, asthma is unpredictable, so i thought i was just suffering from allergic asthma as well, normally blame pollen, or dust... so sometimes its worse sometimes its better. and one week later, i collapsed in the street. the clots had travelled to the lungs. I almost died, but was a close call as here I am. turns out I genetically have the thick blot factor or high clotting factor. they tested all the proteins involved and it proved that lifelong I had to stay on warfarin, which in itself is a dangerous drug. So this new light you have shed on the pulmonary emboli it can cause aswell as from the beginning knowing it is dangerous to those predisposed or compromised such as asthma age etc., just made me take that more caution. I'm so dead if i catch it, probably. so thanks to you I know to be so so cautious when going out. I am an essential staff worker, I cannot stay at home during this covid 19 pandemic,we are in our winter now and i work outside, day and night shift... and i am afraid, but i now understand better what to look out for. THANK YOU

Would love to watch live but as a respiratory therapist I'll be busy!

The putative 'L' strain has not been shown to be more 'aggressive' - the finding had nothing to do with disease severity, rather potential fitness. Even this is massively complicated (undermined) by epidemiological effects. The authors retracted the term 'aggressive' soon after publication to prevent just the sort of dissemination of misinformation seen here.

It is an ongoing pandemic and I don’t know what the future holds.

You are damn brilliant and intelligent, thank you for sharing that knowledge with us in such a down to earth manner. You have a gift in teaching. keep going!!!!
