Covid19- Ahead of the Curve.
Does Running Put You at Risk? A new report suggests that runners may pose a special risk of exposure to the SARS-CoV-2 virus, especially for those running near them. Researchers in Belgium and the Netherlands looked at how the unique aerodynamics of runners increase the effective range of any droplets they might be producing and the risk that might pose. How worried should you be?.
Research News
A SUMMARY
- Israeli Researchers suggest** an innovative approach to exiting the lockdown by allowing four days of work followed by ten days off. This would allow public health authorities to assess and react to the reemergence of Covid-19.
- An analysis of genetic variability in MHC genes** may give a way to better predict individual susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2.
- A molecular modeling study* proposes that SARS-CoV-2 may disrupt hemoglobin pathways and reduce the oxygen carrying capacity of the blood.
- German researchers delineate the distribution of ACE2 receptors in the human heart.
