I read a study today that said 18% of the ingredients for all the world's medicines come from China, and that Pharmaceutical companies were being urged to secure their supply chains. I wonder where all the N95 masks are made?
Earlier I mentioned that the UofQ had a new technique to clamp or bind a protein to a virus fragment which would allow a fast way to produce a vaccine without the whole RNA sequence. The entire sequence is known now, but it appears that the virus is mutating rapidly and shows variations in the middle of the RNA not seen in prior corona virus strains. There is some speculation that the mutations are also changing the glycoprotein which might render a vaccine useless but might also prevent the virus from so easily breaching host cells.
