Professor Darby Explains COVID-19
Jul. 19th, 2020 12:20 pm[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. ( Professor Darby explains COVID-19 )
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.
