With the major city of Wuhan quarantined, and the coronavirus spreading in China and other nations, medical officials are saying that the virus is especially worrisome because the virus is mutating and people carrying the virus can infect others before symptoms appear.
The good news is that scientists around the world are working rapidly to deconstruct the DNA of the virus without the usual barriers. Says one scientist:
“The pace is unmatched,” said Karla Satchell, a professor of microbiology-immunology at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. “This is really new. Lots of people [in science] still try to hide what they’re doing, don’t want to talk about what they’re doing, and everybody out there is like: This is the case where we don’t worry about egos, we don’t worry about who’s first, we just care about solving the problem. The information flow has been really fast.”
