“Residents will still be allowed to take a walk, exercise or take a pet out to use the bathroom as long as people remain at least 6-feet away from others who are not a member of their own household.”

🚨BREAKING: #China says a flu drug approved in #Japan was effective in a study of 340 #coronavirus patients.

Lung X-rays showed improvements in ~91% of patients treated with #favipiravir, compared to 62% of those not treated with drug.

theguardian.com/world/2020/mar…
Favipiravir inhibits RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, an enzyme that makes copies of the virus’ RNA (not DNA) genome. RNA viruses need this enzyme to make new viral particles, so it’s quite plausible that this drug IS effective against #coronavirus.😃

I worked to develop a similar drug (galidesivir, BCX4430) with the same mechanism of action as #favipiravir, and both drugs show activity against a broad spectrum of different RNA viruses.

Entirely plausible that #favipiravir is active against #COVID19.😃

🚨BREAKING: Scientists analyzed genomic data to determine the origin of the deadly new #coronavirus:

“Our analyses clearly show that #SARSCoV2 is NOT a laboratory construct or a purposefully manipulated virus.”

@NatureMedicine @thespybrief #COVID19
nature.com/articles/s4159…
“It is improbable that #SARSCoV2 emerged through laboratory manipulation of a related #coronavirus...the genetic data irrefutably show that #SARSCoV2 is not derived from any previously used virus backbone.”

Instead, here’s how this nasty virus came into being, per this study...
The study provides 2 scenarios that can “plausibly explain” the origin of #SARSCoV2 (new #coronavirus):

1️⃣natural selection in an animal host before zoonotic transfer (transfer from animal to human)
2️⃣natural selection in humans after zoonotic transfer

#Lithuania #Vilnius

Last week #Lithuanian #parliament adopted the state #budget for 2020. The main #financial document of the #state was approved by the majority of voters.
It is sad to see how #Lithuania is #suffering without #money. Absolute #chaos – this is how they say in #Lithuania about the new budget.
So, state budget revenues are planned in the amount of 11.559 billion euros, expenses – 12.705 billion euros.
The budget deficit will amount 2.9% of the planned gross domestic product. In other words, the #Lithuanian #draft hardly met the requirements of #fiscal #discipline. The #budget #deficit for #EU member states should not exceed 3% of GDP.
