Rolf Hilgenfeld, a German coronavirus research expert and professor at Lubeck University, brought two inhibitors developed for Sars-CoV to China to test their effects on the 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV).
In an interview with CMG, he said that the experiments on 2019-nCov will be carried out on mice, and toxicological experiments will be carried out to eliminate other side effects that may be caused by the drugs. Finally, mass production will be possible only through clinical trials.
The coronavirus is self-limiting. After a period of time, when enough people produce antibodies, the continuous spread of the virus can be restricted, thus ending the spread of the epidemic, he said.
I just say the common sense that this number is very small which won't make any impact on overal confirmed cases, as for if China hold this number only to herself, you can ask WHO for confrimation if the number is shared or not, I also admit that vast number of virus carriers are not being tested so the true cases can be much larger. China just did what she has to do, the result will be in the future to see. Do you think your government can do better than China when facing the same situation?
