TL;DR: It is proposed that room ventilation, open space, sanitization of protective apparel, and proper use and disinfection of toilet areas can effectively limit the concentration of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in aerosols, although the infectivity of the virus RNA was not established in this study.

TL;DR: Phylogenetic analysis indicates that 2019-nCoV is close to coronaviruses (CoVs) circulating in Rhinolophus (Horseshoe bats), and Evolutionary analysis based on ORF1a/1b, S, and N genes suggests2019-n coV is more likely a novel CoV independently introduced from animals to humans.

TL;DR: Overall, ddPCR shows superiority for clinical diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 to reduce the false negative reports, which could be a powerful complement to the RT-PCR.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors found that IAV preinfection significantly promoted the infectivity of SARS-CoV-2 in a broad range of cell types, and in vivo, increased infection load and more severe lung damage were observed in mice coinfected with IAV.

TL;DR: This work demonstrates that both S312/S416 and old drugs with dual actions of antiviral and immuno-regulation may have clinical potentials to cure SARS-CoV-2 or other RNA viruses circulating worldwide, no matter such viruses are mutated or not.
