Toilet paper is out at SAM's but there is plenty of food at SAM's. A large number of you are not applying your high school biology. The use of toilet paper is in direct proportion to the intake of food.
I am a total skeptic on this one. I wish her well and I hope she isn't sick. But, my first cynical thought is that it got the actor out of the spotlight, how convenient.
World: arrgh we are becoming infected and its spreading....
Canada: hold my beer

A team of researchers from Sunnybrook, McMaster University(opens in a new window) and the University of Toronto(opens in a new window) has isolated severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the agent responsible for the ongoing outbreak of COVID-19.
Thanks to nimble collaboration, the team was able to culture the virus from two clinical specimens in a Level 3 containment facility.
“We need key tools to develop solutions to this pandemic. While the immediate response is crucial, longer-term solutions come from essential research into this novel virus,” said Dr. Samira Mubareka, microbiologist and infectious diseases physician at Sunnybrook.
The isolated virus will help researchers in Canada and across the world develop better diagnostic testing, treatments and vaccines, and gain a better understanding of SARS-CoV-2 biology, evolution and clinical shedding.
“Researchers from these world-class institutions came together in a grassroots way to successfully isolate the virus in just a few short weeks,” said Dr. Rob Kozak, clinical microbiologist at Sunnybrook. “It demonstrates the amazing things that can happen when we collaborate.”
Dr. Arinjay Banerjee, NSERC post-doctoral fellow at McMaster University, said he knows the collaboration won’t stop there.
“Now that we have isolated the SARS-CoV-2 virus, we can share this with other researchers and continue this teamwork,” he said. “The more viruses that are made available in this way, the more we can learn, collaborate and share.”
Congratulations to Dr. Samira Mubareka and Dr. Rob Kozak of Sunnybrook and University of Toronto; Dr. Arinjay Banerjee and Dr. Karen Mossman of McMaster University.
With gratitude to the CL3 team and Biosafety Officers.

We just hit the TP motherload!

China, is now blaming the U.S Army for bringing the Coronavirus to Wuhan.
.......
I guess no one is thinking about that here in the states many cattle producers have been vaccinating cattle for years for Corona Virus. ????? I’m no chemist but I would think there is a good starting point for a human vaccine there.
I want to know, if and why, the U.S Army was there in the first place.The Army didn't have a recruiting booth at the live market in Wuhan?
I wouldn't wish that on our worst enemy... We can deal with the dems, after all they are a problem we created by becoming complacent. Again, sending dems to China I believe would classify as an act of war!China, is now blaming the U.S Army for bringing the Coronavirus to Wuhan.
Commie liars.
It's time to get even with China, and ship the Democrats over there.
