TL;DR: The prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 co-infection with noncoronavirus respiratory pathogens in a sample of symptomatic patients undergoing PCR testing in March 2020 is described.

TL;DR: Outpatient and asymptomatic individuals’ SARS-CoV-2 antibodies, including IgG, progressively decreased during observation up to five months post-infection, but antibody responses in acute illness were insufficient to predict inpatient outcomes.

TL;DR: This data indicates that Ipl1 activates the checkpoint in response to tension defects by creating unattached kinetochores, and although the Dam1 Kinetochore complex has been implicated as a key downstream target, the existence of unidentified IPl1 sites on Dam1 or additional important substrates that regulate both microtuble detachment and the checkpoint is found.

TL;DR: Recent evidence is considered that supports and opposes the hypothesis that defects in tension act as the primary checkpoint signal.

TL;DR: Findings of novel coronavirus testing on pooled nasopharyngeal and bronchoalveolar lavage samples taken from patients who had negative results by routine respiratory virus testing are described.
