Coronavirus: Part 3 (ft. Ellie Duckworth)

In the final instalment of our epic 3-part coronavirus special, once again joined by public health expert Ellie Duckworth, Ellie and Kate tackle all your questions! We plough through most of the questions we got, which range from molecular-based to philosophical to basic advice. We then go over some of the best conspiracy theories we’ve heard - is there any truth there? We then wrap up with the positives to have come out of this situation, to leave you maybe a sense of hope going forward!If you loved what Ellie had to say you can find her on twitter (https://twitter.com/elliedemiology), and as always, you can follow Curiosity Killed the Rat on twitter (https://twitter.com/CuriosityRat), Insta (https://www.instagram.com/curiosityrat/), and facebook (https://www.facebook.com/curiosityrat/), and email in your listener questions to [email protected]:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQsu3Kz9NYo (good visualisation of PCR)ACE-2 References:https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0092867420302294https://www.nature.com/articles/ncomms4594Reproductive number calculations:https://www.nejm.org/doi/10.1056/NEJMoa2001316Genome Sequencing and Originshttps://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/03/200317175442.htmhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16195424https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4875465/https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/32007145https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-020-2012-7Clinical features:https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(20)30183-5/fulltextCOVID-19 vs. Flu:https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/conditions-and-diseases/coronavirus/coronavirus-disease-2019-vs-the-fluKids and COVID-19:https://www.the-scientist.com/news-opinion/possible-biological-explanations-for-kids-escape-from-covid-19-67273Respiratory droplets:https://www.livescience.com/coronavirus-warm-weather-study.htmlhttps://www.nejm.org/doi/10.1056/NEJMc2004973SARS and MERS:https://virologyj.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12985-015-0439-5https://www.researchgate.net/publication/8953389_The_Severe_Acute_Respiratory_SyndromeWHO Situation Reports:https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019/situation-reports/Other:https://www.technologynetworks.com/genomics/news/scientists-firmly-determine-that-sars-cov-2-was-not-engineered-332244?fbclid=IwAR1WIcJibcTaFw3C4aen5nzjihUO_jFVRIYOG7yHMii2MxRK98RZQDL6XLAhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7uP9bcNkvTMhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddlRvqhGdPkhttps://www.pharmacytimes.com/news/vitamin-d-helps-the-immune-system-during-cold-and-flu-seasonhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30675873https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2020/world/corona-simulator/
