I consider this to potentially be very good news depending on how it holds up in further study. It could lead to new therapeutics and perhaps new vaccine approaches.
Human-IgG-Neutralizing Monoclonal Antibodies Block the SARS-CoV-2 Infection from the Abstract (so can be shared):
Wan et al. identify 11 potent neutralizing antibodies against COVID-19 from 11 convalescent patients. These human neutralizing antibodies target three separate epitopes on the receptor binding domain (RBD) of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, and epitope-B antibody (553-15) can enhance the neutralizing abilities of most other antibodies.
Highlights
11 neutralizing antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 target three main epitopes on RBD
Epitope-A antibody 414-1 shows neutralizing IC50 at 1.75 nM
Epitope-B antibody 553-15 can enhance the neutralizing
abilities of other antibodies
One neutralizing antibody, 515-5, can cross neutralize SARS- CoV pseudovirus
And even the potential great news that will result from the November 3 election will be watered down over possible weeks due to the time-consuming counting of all those covid-19 inspired mail-in ballots.
The only potential joy will be seeing Trump actually showing up at his polling place and polling in person (of course he’ll have to – he can’t do months of “bitching” (apologies to all female canines) about the corruption inherent in mail-in voting and then use a “mail-in” ballot, now can he? It’s going to be so cute to see him disappear behind the curtain and, 5 minutes later stick his head out and ask a poll-watcher which ones are the republicans ‘cause he only knows that he’s running with no clue as to who else is on the ballot.
Are you related to Sukie Tawdry? How about Lucy Brown? I do know that the line forms to the right. Now that Mackie’s back in town! Sorry. I couldn’t resist.

For fake news turn the channel to Fox Entertainment. We now conclude our broadcasting day and may return if we have good news.
