— Michael Vershinin, Ph.D, Physicist, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah
“It is improbable that SARS-CoV-2 emerged through laboratory manipulation of a related SARS-CoV-like coronavirus. … the genetic data irrefutably show that SARS-CoV-2 is not derived from any previously used virus backbone (not manmade).”

Pentagon Is Freeing Up 1 Million Respirator Masks Today To Fight COVID-19 with 4 Million More To Come. And More Ventilators!
“When you look at the number of people that are projected that may need ventilators, 2,000 doesn’t really put much of a dent into it. The key thing is the private sector, the manufacturing side, whoever makes medical machines of this type. How do you prime that pump to get production up? Because we are simply not going to be able to meet the demand if the demand fits some of the profiles as we’ve seen in the CDC brief.”
— Mark Esper, U. S. Secretary of Defense, The Pentagon, March 17, 2020

Already-Existing Drugs Such As Remdesivir Might Help Treat COVID-19.
“Several tests of remdesivir in lab animals infected with the MERS coronavirus have researchers still hopeful when it comes to the new coronavirus. In studies in both rhesus macaques and mice, remdesivir protected animals from lung damage whether the drug was given before or after infection. … It may also have utility for related coronaviruses such as the novel coronavirus 2019-nCoV” that emerged from Wuhan, China.
