Case Study: Prolonged Infectious SARS-CoV-2 Shedding from an Asymptomatic Immunocompromised Individual with Cancer.

Reads0
Chats0
TLDR
The data indicate that certain immunocompromised patients may shed infectious virus for longer durations than previously recognized, and detection of subgenomic RNA is recommended in persistently SARS-CoV-2 positive individuals as a proxy for shedding of infectious virus.

Decreased Interfacial Dynamics Caused by the N501Y Mutation in the SARS-CoV-2 S1 Spike:ACE2 Complex

TL;DR: By elucidating a mechanistic basis for the increased affinity of the N501Y mutant S1-RBD for ACE2, it is believed that the results presented here will aid in developing therapeutic strategies against SARS-CoV-2 including designing of therapeutic agents targeting the ACE2-S1- RBD interaction.

In pursuit of the right tail for the COVID-19 incubation period.

TL;DR: For COVID-19, average incubation period times commonly span 5-7 days which are generally longer than for most typical other respiratory viruses as mentioned in this paper, and there is considerable variability reported however for the late right-hand statistical distribution.

SARS-CoV-2 Persistent Viral Shedding in the Context of Hydroxychloroquine-Azithromycin Treatment.

TL;DR: In this paper, the persistence of SARS-CoV-2 nasopharyngeal shedding contributes to the spread of the COVID-19 epidemic and is associated with persistent dyspnea and anosmia/ageusia.
