shadowkat[ETA: UGH. Somehow the auto-formatting got disabled and I had to enable it again. I don't know how it happened. Should be fixed now. I hate HTML formatting - I'm not a coder - no patience for it. Also I'm not quite sure how coders avoid carpal tunnel syndrom.]
Ah, a friend from the old ATPO Board, who is a epidemologist and parasite biologist - posted a video on how the Coronavirus works.
ETA: Here's the blog he mentions regarding up to date information on how they are battling the Coronavirus. In the Pipeline by Derek Loew. He managed to explain a few things that had been puzzling me.
1. Why some people get very mild symptoms, while others get it severely.
2. The affect of the flu shot on it.
3. How it spreads.
Fascinating, and while it's fairly simplistic - no pretty graphics, just basically a college biology professor's explanation. He does a better job of breaking it down into layman's terms than those who are using the fancy graphics.
As an aside - the difficulty with communication - is figuring out to explain something to someone who doesn't know your language. Or simplifying it. I've spent my life doing that (not always very well) - explaining things to people in layman's terms in various workplaces.

I think I may have seen a still photograph of him before from one of the East Coast meets. In this video it looks like he and I share some of the same celtic ancestry.
Thanks for putting it here!

He really confirms and corrects a lot of things, and provides me with a lot of hope by doing so. I get hope from scientific facts.
I adore the Darby's - I've met them in person, they are the same that they were on the board, kind and generous, and smart. I really liked the people on our board. One of the few fanboards that I felt that way about.
