OMG.......did you read that before posting? You can’t be serious. LOL!!! What part of: The isolated virus will help researchers in Canada and across the world develop better diagnostic testing, treatments and vaccines, and gain a better understanding of SARS-CoV-2 biology, evolution and clinical shedding. do you not understand? If you really don't understand the value of isolating the virus, that's surprising to me, but it would explain a lot.

Is that different from isolating it? Fascinating article -> https://bedford.io/blog/ncov-cryptic-transmission/ Well, from my understanding, the virus has been isolated a few times before, but it is continually mutating. Each isolation allows them to track how it is mutating and how much time it took to mutate. This apparently gives critical data to the scientists that they can use for future testing and hopefully in developing a vaccine. I'm not a microbiologist, so the above is what I've gathered, in layman's terms, from reading about it.

antonellomopar, This is where you just shrug your shoulders and do what YOU need to do to stay safe. Let the people that want to ignore this handle the virus when it hits them. There is NOTHING you or I can say that will change their minds. We currently have 37 dead JUST in Washington state. And 565 confirmed cases. The main reason we do not have more is we are learning from China and Italy's mistakes. We are in most parts doing "Social Distancing". Not point a finger at anyone person. Just saying do your best to stay clear of this. There is a saying "There is no cure for STUPID". But DEATH is a sure cure for it.

We are going to Italy situations, schools are now closed as from today, at least until the week after Easter. Last evening now for restaurants, pubs, events, sports events, everything cancelled as from today! 559 infected, 3 dead, but we are just starting! Non food stores have to close in the weekends. Foodstores have trouble to keep up with dry foods, meat, vegetables, fruit... My daughter has picked 2 boxes of Corona beer at a pub, for free, there was a complete pallet outside! You could also drink this for free at this café, I guess they couldn't sell this anymore. People go creasy, borders of countries are closing for foreigners..

But I have a few cases of Stella hidden away too. Stai al sicuro tutti. Rester en Sécurité tout le monde.

I just picked up 2 cases for $14 or $0.29 a bottle. A slice of lime kills all bad stuff. I know a Whisky distiller that will be buying up all the unsold cases here soon. He just runs it thru the distiller twice and you can not taste any hops or beer. He just adds Junipre berrys and POOF, GIN.
