You must, like me, be asking yourself how the situation concerning the\nCoronavirus (Covid-19) will evolve in the next few weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is unfortunately no immediate answer. However, as biologists, I am\nsure you are, like me, interested in acquiring more knowledge on the current\nsituation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I would like to recommend you to view the following video, prepared by\nArnaud Fontanet, an internationally reconized expert in disease, head of the\n\u00ab\u00a0Epid\u00e9miologie des Maladies Emergentes\u00a0\u00bb Research laboratory at\nInstitut Pasteur (1).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The presentation prepared by Pr Fontanet is one of the most complete and most scientifically grounded documents you will find to understand the history of the emergence<\/strong> of the Covid-19 outbreak, the epidemiological status<\/strong>, the mechanisms of transmission<\/strong> and the current knowledge on this new disease<\/strong>. The video may be a little less entertaining than other videos you will find on the web, but I highly recommend you listen to the entire lecture, it is really worth it, especially for students specialising in biology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
