Testing/Diagnostics
In this study, they put a wristwatch-like thing on the wrists of people who willingly allowed themselves to be infected with either rhinovirus, flu, or placebo. The wristwatch thingie was able to predict illness about a day before symptoms showed up. This could be really useful for diagnosing other respiratory infections (like ahem COVID-19).
Treatments
This preprint says that REGEN-COV, the Regeneron monoclonal antibody, drops death rates by about 70%.
Transmission
In this study, they simulated aerosol dispersion in an Boeing 777. My takeaways: don’t sit in the MID-AFT section, leave your mask on; and especially don’t take your mask off to eat (and yeah, that means “don’t eat”).
