How do we... Uh... Speed up the peer review process?"The median incubation period was 3.0 days (range, 0 to 24.0 days)."https://t.co/HJElaXzWIM

Why home quarantine?"The problem is hospitals. Like a loudspeaker that transforms a singer’s dulcet tones into a cacophony, hospitals can amplify a single case into dozens, even hundreds, in a matter of days. It’s called nosocomial transmission"https://t.co/6sNSyztD7I 🤔
