“There is almost no possibility of containing the virus before July,”

4-11-20  “There is almost no possibility of containing the virus before July,” said microbiologist 
Yuen Kwok-yung, of the University of Hong Kong (HKU), who led the study published in scientific journal Clinical Infectious Diseases….Sars-CoV-2 generated 3.2-fold infectious viral particles than Sars within 48 hours….Despite reproducing more efficiently, the new virus induced slower immune and inflammatory responses, according to the study. Unlike the Sars virus, the Sars-CoV-2 almost did not induce any signalling protein interferons within 48 hours, which is key in triggering the immune system to counteract against the virus….With 90 per cent of the population not immune, Yuen warned that the virus could continue to spread even after the summer.  https://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/health-environment/article/3079502/coronavirus-causes-covid-19-can-produce-more
