I'm going to try to suppress the cough. 21 00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 2: I'm TT and I'm Zakijah and from Spotify Studios. 22 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:16,040 Speaker 3: This is Dope Labs. 23 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,600 Speaker 1: This episode is all about coronavirus, and we're gonna go 24 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 1: through everything we know up until this point with the 25 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:27,520 Speaker 1: coronavirus expert doctor Kizmikia Corbett from the National Institutes of 26 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 1: Health or NIH. 27 00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:30,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, so let's jump into the recitation. 28 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:34,880 Speaker 1: All right, So today we're talking about coronavirus. I know 29 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:36,119 Speaker 1: you're seeing those memes and. 30 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:40,559 Speaker 2: Tweet tweets and the articles, yes, news clips, everything. It's 31 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 2: all over the internet. 32 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 1: And it can all become really confusing really fast. I 33 00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:47,920 Speaker 1: saw some pictures and I was like, I'm not sure 34 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 1: that these were even taken in twenty twenty. The people, 35 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 1: the way the whole background looks. I was like, people 36 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:56,640 Speaker 1: are just reusing clips, sharing stuff. 37 00:01:56,360 --> 00:02:00,040 Speaker 2: During images, but as a World Health Organization logo on 38 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:01,760 Speaker 2: it and just sending it out for. 39 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 4: Everybody sharing it, and they're shared it for laughs. 40 00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:06,280 Speaker 1: But then the next person that shares it doesn't say 41 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 1: this was a joke for my friend exactly. 42 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:10,639 Speaker 4: And we have misinformation everywhere exactly. 43 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 2: So people are walking around saying all types of stuff 44 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,400 Speaker 2: that I'm just like that that don't sound right, does not. 45 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,679 Speaker 1: Work, And I've been trying to not be a well 46 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 1: actually in everybody's mentions, but it feels so tempting. 47 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:25,680 Speaker 2: So we know what you guys are saying on the internet, 48 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,399 Speaker 2: and in memes, but we wanted to know what y'all 49 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 2: were saying on the street. 50 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 5: I feel like the flu is more effective on the 51 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,679 Speaker 5: demographic based off the fact that there's more depths from 52 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:37,959 Speaker 5: the flu than it is Corona. As of right now, 53 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 5: until we're able to get more scientific facts and see 54 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 5: what's going on with it, I can't say too much, 55 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:48,480 Speaker 5: but I definitely think the flu is worse. 56 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 4: You know, I think we're probably overreacting slightly. 57 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:53,800 Speaker 6: I did go on Amazon to see if they had 58 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,520 Speaker 6: any paper masks on Prime and they're all out, so 59 00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 6: I think they're all on Prime. 60 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 4: I can borrow Okay, I'm going. 61 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 7: To the party and they asked me to bring some beer, 62 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:08,640 Speaker 7: So went out yesterday. 63 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 8: I bought a couple of six packs. 64 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 7: When they bought some Corona and the checkout person said, oh, 65 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:16,960 Speaker 7: I'm glad someone's buying Corona, And she said, actually, sales 66 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 7: of Corona are going down because people think but somehow 67 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,960 Speaker 7: Corona beer is connected to the coronavirus. 68 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:25,919 Speaker 2: Are you nervous? 69 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 3: You travel a lot. 70 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 8: I'm not nervous about coronavirus. I spent a lot of 71 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:34,400 Speaker 8: time in Liberia when the Ebola outbreak was in full swing, 72 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 8: and so I guess I have a little bit of 73 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 8: experience and working in those kinds of situations. And if 74 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 8: you're careful and and and stay away from the most 75 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 8: intense places, then there's not much danger. But I certainly 76 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 8: don't think there's any danger anywhere in the United States 77 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 8: or outside of a few places outside of Wuhan. 78 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 2: This episode is going to be doubly as good because 79 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 2: my friend Zakiya, who is whole in her chest as 80 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 2: she's laughing, stop it. My poor friend is also an 81 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 2: expert in all of these things, so she really understands coronavirus, 82 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 2: how it moves and shakes and everything like that. So 83 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 2: we're going to be using her brain to help us 84 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 2: get through this episode. 85 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 1: I wouldn't say I'm a coronavirus expert, but I love 86 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,920 Speaker 1: all things micro All the bacteria and viruses are my friends, 87 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 1: and I love to learn about them and talk about them. 88 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,360 Speaker 1: This is the one time I've missed teaching microbiology. Okay, 89 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,160 Speaker 1: this feels like the best time to be in a 90 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:31,840 Speaker 1: class in a classroom. 91 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 2: So what do we want to know? 92 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:34,560 Speaker 4: So we want to know? 93 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,520 Speaker 2: Well, let's start with I want to know. Okay, that's 94 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 2: what I want to know is basic. I want to 95 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 2: know what is a coronavirus. I want to know where 96 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,600 Speaker 2: it came from? How did this just come out of 97 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 2: what seems like nowhere? What do you want to know? 98 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 1: I want to know how is it spread? I want 99 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 1: to know what's been changing over time? 100 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 3: Right? 101 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 1: And is there a need for panic and worry? What 102 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 1: can we due to prevent transmission and spread? 103 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:02,160 Speaker 6: Like? 104 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 1: How much is in our hands? How much can we control? 105 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:06,840 Speaker 1: And how much is just set and stone? I love 106 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 1: that let's jump into the dissection to help us out. 107 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,039 Speaker 1: We call them doctor Kismikia Corbett. 108 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 9: I am Kismekia Corbett. 109 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:18,839 Speaker 6: I am a senior research Fellow and the scientific lead 110 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 6: for the Coronavirus Vaccine and Inminopathogenesis Team at the National 111 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 6: Institutes of Health National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases 112 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:29,760 Speaker 6: Vaccine and Research Center. 113 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,799 Speaker 9: I am a North Carolinian, I'm black, I'm a woman, 114 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:34,839 Speaker 9: and all the things. 115 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,480 Speaker 2: So the question that I need answered because I mean, 116 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,600 Speaker 2: we know generally how virus moves and shakes because of 117 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 2: our Protect your Neck episode that was lab for so 118 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 2: I learned a lot from that, But I feel like 119 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:51,799 Speaker 2: this is different and I need to know what exactly 120 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 2: coronavirus is. 121 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:59,240 Speaker 6: Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses actually, generally speaking, 122 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 6: coronavirus infect bats, civic cats, etc. 123 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 1: All right, did you hear that? Because I've seen your 124 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,680 Speaker 1: memes with corona beers and that's not the link. 125 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:10,039 Speaker 4: Okay. 126 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 1: We asked doctor Corbett to explain why it's called a coronavirus, 127 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 1: and she told us it has to do with the 128 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,480 Speaker 1: physical properties of the virus. The thing to remember is 129 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 1: that the word corona is Latin for crown. 130 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 2: I like my coronas with a line. 131 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 6: Oh, the surface of the virus actually looks like the 132 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,599 Speaker 6: crown that a queen would wear. Right, So think about 133 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 6: the inside of the virus being a queen's head and 134 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,159 Speaker 6: then the surface of the virus being like the crown. 135 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:44,280 Speaker 6: And actually that crown is made up of some proteins 136 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 6: that are called spike proteins. They just are spiking up 137 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 6: off of the surface of the virus. And so basically 138 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 6: you have this ball with a crown of spikes around it, 139 00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 6: and that's what the virus looks like. 140 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 1: Just building on that model of a ball with a crown. 141 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,480 Speaker 1: That ball contains the genetic information to make more virus 142 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 1: when it enters a host sale and that ball is 143 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 1: also coded in proteins that create kind of an envelope 144 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 1: around it, and then some of those proteins stick up, 145 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 1: and those are the spike proteins that give the coronavirus 146 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 1: its name, which doctor Corbett just described. Okay, so we 147 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 1: know that coronavirus is found in bats and civet cats, 148 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 1: but are there any types of coronavirus that are infectious 149 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 1: to humans? 150 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 4: Yeah? 151 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,280 Speaker 1: There actually are so two of them. You've probably heard 152 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:37,680 Speaker 1: of MERZ, which is short for Middle Eastern Respiratory syndrome, 153 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 1: and so we had a big MYRRZ outbreak in twenty twelve, 154 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 1: and then SARS, which is severe acute respiratory syndrome. 155 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 2: Right, I remember that in two thousand and three. 156 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:48,240 Speaker 4: Yes, that's right. 157 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 1: There are also a couple other coronaviruses that are less 158 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 1: well known, and sometimes when people say, oh I had 159 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 1: the flu, or I felt I had this respiratory infection, 160 00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 1: or I felt bad, sometimes people have actually been infected 161 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 1: by some of those other coronaviruses. So the coronavirus isn't 162 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 1: new to humans. They're a respiratory virus family that we've 163 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 1: known about. But this particular virus is new. Wow, that 164 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 1: is crazy. So a lot of us might have had 165 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 1: one of the other coronaviruses before, but not this one. 166 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,240 Speaker 1: This one is new, so scientists aren't now naming it. 167 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:21,960 Speaker 4: That's right. 168 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,960 Speaker 1: The coronavirus that's all of the news right now is 169 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 1: called the twenty nineteen in coronavirus. 170 00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 6: And that INN stands for novel or new, So what 171 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:37,319 Speaker 6: that means is that it is new to humans and 172 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:39,800 Speaker 6: it is new to the phylogenetic tree. 173 00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:43,720 Speaker 1: Scientists use the phylogenetic tree to understand relationships, so they 174 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,400 Speaker 1: may ask is this virus more or less closely related 175 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 1: to another virus based on similarity. 176 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:54,319 Speaker 2: The symptoms of the twenty nineteen novel coronavirus are cough, fever, 177 00:08:54,679 --> 00:09:00,840 Speaker 2: shortness of breath, and some patients have even reported having nausea, vomited, diarrhea, 178 00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 2: and in some cases symptoms progress to bronchitis or pneumonia. 179 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 2: And now that we understand some of the basics about 180 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 2: the coronavirus, let's look at what's happening right now. Where 181 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 2: did this particular coronavirus come from? 182 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,840 Speaker 6: So there are you know, hundreds of species of coronaviruses 183 00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:19,679 Speaker 6: that dwell in animal reservoirs. 184 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:23,840 Speaker 2: Animal reservoirs are animal sources where the virus might be found. 185 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:27,320 Speaker 2: So for the swine flu, the animal reservoir was pigs. 186 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,559 Speaker 2: For bird flu, it was birds. So even though the 187 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 2: virus is new to humans, it had to have a 188 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 2: host before, and scientists have been working to figure out 189 00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:39,480 Speaker 2: where the new coronavirus was before it showed up in humans. 190 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:43,679 Speaker 6: It probably for however many years, I mean upwards of 191 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:47,080 Speaker 6: hundreds has been circulating in I think they've now named 192 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:51,360 Speaker 6: the reservoir to solidly be the bat, So it's probably 193 00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 6: been circulating in bats. Okay, So if a virus exists 194 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 6: in bats, how does it get to humans? 195 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 1: That's a good question, right, So the first thing you 196 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 1: might ask is what's the genetics of it? Like, how 197 00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:07,360 Speaker 1: is that even possible? Yeah, and it's possible that you know, 198 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 1: we haven't encountered it before. We aren't that different from bats, 199 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 1: That's the thing to remember. We're both vertebrates and mammals, 200 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 1: you know, So there's genetic similarity between humans and bats, 201 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:19,640 Speaker 1: and our whole sales might be similar to bats, so 202 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:21,640 Speaker 1: we may have the same receptor door. You know, if 203 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:23,439 Speaker 1: you think about like we described it before as a 204 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 1: virus knocking on the door trying to get in, we 205 00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 1: might have that same door that that coronavirus uses that 206 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:31,360 Speaker 1: was on bat cells, We might have that same receptor 207 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:32,319 Speaker 1: door on our cells. 208 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,719 Speaker 6: One of those things that is similar enough between us 209 00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 6: and bats in this particular case is the receptor for 210 00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 6: the virus. So the molecule on cells that this virus 211 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 6: binds to is enough similar between bats and humans that 212 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 6: with some slight modifications and evolution, which is what viruses do, 213 00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:02,959 Speaker 6: they evolve, it could become more and more infectious to 214 00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:03,480 Speaker 6: a human. 215 00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 4: So thinking about that, right. 216 00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:10,360 Speaker 1: The first documented case of twenty nineteen in coronavirus was 217 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,960 Speaker 1: reported in Wuhan, China, at an open marketplace, and there 218 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,079 Speaker 1: are a variety of ways that it could have infected 219 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:16,559 Speaker 1: people there. 220 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 2: The second thing is how do you get a bat 221 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:22,360 Speaker 2: and a human physically close enough to transfer the virus? 222 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:24,599 Speaker 2: You know, you can pick up bat poop in a 223 00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:29,679 Speaker 2: cave and sequence tons of coronaviruses. I mean, so it 224 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 2: could have just been you know, they're in a open 225 00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 2: seafood market. You know, bats fly in there at night, 226 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:39,920 Speaker 2: handle their you know business. 227 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 1: I think doctor Corbett hit a really good point. You 228 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 1: don't have to go into a cave to come in 229 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:45,560 Speaker 1: contact with a bat. 230 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 4: Yeah. 231 00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,640 Speaker 1: You know, as our population grows and we're expanding in 232 00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:50,680 Speaker 1: a different space, is what used to be wildlife area 233 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:52,120 Speaker 1: is now your backyard? 234 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:52,480 Speaker 6: Right? 235 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,679 Speaker 2: I see fox running through my front yard almost every morning. 236 00:11:55,920 --> 00:12:00,719 Speaker 4: Really, yeah, I don't see anything but my neighbor's dog wildlife. 237 00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 1: What we do know is that you can find coronavirus 238 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 1: in batpoop. Okay, right, I don't even know what batpoop 239 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:06,599 Speaker 1: looks like. 240 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:07,120 Speaker 6: Do you know? 241 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:08,840 Speaker 1: It could be on the table and I would pick 242 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,160 Speaker 1: it up too, because I wouldn't know what it was. No, 243 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 1: I don't want to say I would pick it up, 244 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:12,600 Speaker 1: but you. 245 00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 5: Know, I mean you don't know what it is. 246 00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:14,959 Speaker 4: You don't know what it is. 247 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 2: I have no idea it could be. It could look 248 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,520 Speaker 2: like erase or shavings. I'm like, okay, I'm just gonna 249 00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:20,120 Speaker 2: brush this off. 250 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 1: So now you got viral particles on your hand, and 251 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:24,040 Speaker 1: if you're working in an open air market, you could 252 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:25,719 Speaker 1: be So this is something where it could be on 253 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:27,840 Speaker 1: the food, right, or where you could be shaking hands 254 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 1: with somebody or you can cover your mouth to cough 255 00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:34,080 Speaker 1: or I mean anything right where this could be shared 256 00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:35,200 Speaker 1: or spread around, or. 257 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,720 Speaker 2: Touch a door knob, or touch something that a lot 258 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:39,760 Speaker 2: of people touch. You get on the bus, yeah, you 259 00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:41,640 Speaker 2: sit down in the bus seat, you touch the seat, 260 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:42,760 Speaker 2: you touch the handles. 261 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's so important. So if you work in 262 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 1: the market, you have multiple opportunities to contact with tons 263 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:51,160 Speaker 1: of people, and then those people are contacting other people, 264 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:55,319 Speaker 1: and right now we don't know a lot about how 265 00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,040 Speaker 1: the transmission works, right, And I think a good point 266 00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,520 Speaker 1: that you made was that as our population grows and 267 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 1: we have less space for the wildlife, so their habitats 268 00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:07,559 Speaker 1: are getting smaller because we're encroaching on their space, the 269 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:12,000 Speaker 1: rate that we are going to be coming in contact 270 00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:15,800 Speaker 1: with animal and like parts of their lives, whether it 271 00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,040 Speaker 1: be their feces or whatever, is going to increase. 272 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:19,800 Speaker 4: That's right, that's right, it's so true. 273 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,400 Speaker 1: And I think the other thing is, even as a 274 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:25,320 Speaker 1: rate increases, it's important to know that not all animal 275 00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:28,679 Speaker 1: viruses can adapt to humans. Even if a virus does 276 00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:30,800 Speaker 1: make it to a human, that doesn't necessarily mean that 277 00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:33,040 Speaker 1: it's going to become a global health emergency like this 278 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:34,920 Speaker 1: novel coronavirus. 279 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 6: Has these bats, for example, or whatever animal is. Their 280 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:41,360 Speaker 6: reservoir carries the virus, and maybe a human does come 281 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:44,240 Speaker 6: in contact with it, and maybe a human does get. 282 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:47,920 Speaker 9: Infected with it. But we're not the natural host for 283 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:51,439 Speaker 9: these viruses. They're really not made for humans. 284 00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:56,599 Speaker 6: So the virus doesn't hasn't built up the capability to 285 00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 6: replicate efficiently and transmit from human to human efficiently. 286 00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,800 Speaker 4: And that is the key thing to remember is that 287 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:06,040 Speaker 4: viruses can evolve. 288 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:09,559 Speaker 2: So that virus at first brushes up against a human 289 00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:13,199 Speaker 2: and that immune system has not seen this before, so 290 00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:14,679 Speaker 2: it doesn't even really know what to do. But then 291 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:17,240 Speaker 2: also the virus itself doesn't know what to do. It 292 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,960 Speaker 2: doesn't have the tools it needs in order to infect 293 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:23,040 Speaker 2: and get into that hostel and get into the kitchen 294 00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:23,800 Speaker 2: and start cooking. 295 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:27,680 Speaker 1: Yes, And so that one isn't able to replicate, right, 296 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:31,360 Speaker 1: That one maybe doesn't infect a human. But let's continue 297 00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:34,240 Speaker 1: on in time, right, And so as the virus continues 298 00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:36,840 Speaker 1: to exist in this animal reservoir, which we say is 299 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 1: a bat. Now remember we have similarity to bats. So 300 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:44,160 Speaker 1: now your virus is robust. Right, It's like, hey, I've 301 00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:46,760 Speaker 1: been lifting weights. I've been pumping iron. So now it 302 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:50,600 Speaker 1: interacts with a human in Wuhan, and it's like, yo, 303 00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:51,840 Speaker 1: I got a Swiss army knife. 304 00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:52,520 Speaker 4: I'm ready. 305 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:54,760 Speaker 1: I know exactly how to pick this lock. This same 306 00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:57,240 Speaker 1: key that I use in bats. I'm going to try 307 00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 1: it right over here. Skeleton key, skeleton key. Turns out 308 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:01,320 Speaker 1: we got the same lock, right. 309 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,320 Speaker 2: And now I'll let myself in. 310 00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:09,240 Speaker 4: I'll let my that's right, I love my friend. I'll 311 00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:10,160 Speaker 4: let myself in. 312 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:15,200 Speaker 1: And now it's using your cast are skilling okay, and 313 00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:17,960 Speaker 1: it's cooking up more virus, just cooking up more virus. 314 00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:21,080 Speaker 1: And so now you have virus that's replicating in humans. 315 00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:24,480 Speaker 1: So it's adapted, right, and this particular coronavirus has adapted 316 00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:27,440 Speaker 1: to be able to not only go from animal to human, 317 00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,640 Speaker 1: but now to transmit from human to human pretty efficiently. 318 00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:36,440 Speaker 2: There are now over seventeen thousand confirmed cases and over 319 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:38,320 Speaker 2: three hundred and fifty. 320 00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 4: Deaths, and that number is just going to continue to rise. 321 00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:42,120 Speaker 4: It's wild, it is. 322 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,280 Speaker 1: And because this has spread to over two dozen countries, 323 00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:49,280 Speaker 1: the World Health Organization has declared the twenty nineteen coronavirus 324 00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:51,160 Speaker 1: a global health emergency. 325 00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:53,720 Speaker 2: When we come back. We'll talk about how the virus 326 00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:56,600 Speaker 2: has spread, what scientists like doctor Corbett are doing to 327 00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,000 Speaker 2: stop it, and what you should do in the coming weeks. 328 00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:21,040 Speaker 2: And we're back. Let's talk about how coronavirus spreads. Infected 329 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:24,680 Speaker 2: people can share the virus by coughing, sneezing, or touching others. 330 00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:30,120 Speaker 6: Diligence behind what you're doing in your everyday life can 331 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:34,640 Speaker 6: prevent a lot of infections. You know, coughing into your 332 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:37,840 Speaker 6: sleeve and not your hand, washing your hands, etc. 333 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,160 Speaker 1: We all know that people aren't great about keeping their 334 00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:44,240 Speaker 1: germs to themselves. So how worried should we be about 335 00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:45,440 Speaker 1: contracting coronavirus? 336 00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:49,040 Speaker 9: You shouldn't be alarmed by Now there's human and human 337 00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:52,520 Speaker 9: transmission in the United States, Like, that's what viruses do. 338 00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:56,880 Speaker 1: A recent case of novel coronavirus in Washington State found 339 00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,160 Speaker 1: that the virus is not only in the lung and 340 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:03,040 Speaker 1: lung excres so coughing and sneezing, yes, but it was 341 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:06,879 Speaker 1: also found in this individual's fecal matter, that's poop. 342 00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:10,480 Speaker 2: This is another reason why handwashing is so important. This 343 00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:12,359 Speaker 2: is how stomach viruses are transmitted. 344 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:14,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, people don't think about that. Fecal to oral route. 345 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:17,600 Speaker 2: Right nasty. 346 00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:21,920 Speaker 9: The virus is doing what it set out to do. 347 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:26,199 Speaker 6: Last time I checked, I believe the case fatality rate 348 00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:28,080 Speaker 6: was around still around two or three percent rate. 349 00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:31,160 Speaker 9: So the case fatality rate is fairly low. 350 00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:35,680 Speaker 6: More often than not, the people that succumbed to coronavirus 351 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:40,840 Speaker 6: infections have prior ailments or our elderly. 352 00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:44,000 Speaker 1: Two to three percent means two to three people per 353 00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:47,440 Speaker 1: one hundred, right, So when you think about this, just 354 00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:51,520 Speaker 1: for some context, MERZ killed about thirty percent of the 355 00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:55,920 Speaker 1: people it infected. SARS kill is about ten percent, and that's. 356 00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:59,960 Speaker 6: Not necessarily beneficial from an evolutionary standpoint for a virus 357 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:01,880 Speaker 6: like you don't want to kill your host. 358 00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:05,560 Speaker 2: These viruses are setting up shop in your body rent free. 359 00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:08,199 Speaker 2: They need you and your host seals is that they 360 00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:10,200 Speaker 2: could keep replicating and existing. 361 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:11,840 Speaker 1: And so what we're talking about now is two to three. 362 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:14,560 Speaker 1: So the fatality rate for this coronavirus is much lower 363 00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:18,160 Speaker 1: than the other two we've seen. Right, thinking about their existence, 364 00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:21,440 Speaker 1: let's talk about their eradication. This gets us right to 365 00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:24,720 Speaker 1: doctor Corbett's work. She and her team are working on 366 00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:26,760 Speaker 1: a coronavirus vaccine. 367 00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:29,040 Speaker 6: And this isn't as easy as you might think. You 368 00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:32,760 Speaker 6: can't just say, make a vaccine. It's not trivial to 369 00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:36,280 Speaker 6: create immunity. To that right, you have to do some things, 370 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:41,560 Speaker 6: some designing, protein engineering, manipulation, platform delivery. 371 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:45,840 Speaker 1: One of the most important steps to infection is viral attachment. 372 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:48,920 Speaker 1: That knocking on the wholesales door is done when a 373 00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:52,080 Speaker 1: viral protein attaches to or binds to a receptor on 374 00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:52,840 Speaker 1: a human cell. 375 00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:59,040 Speaker 6: We study, you know, particular amino acid sites on proteins, 376 00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:06,880 Speaker 6: and you know, study how various mutations and viral proteins effects, 377 00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:12,880 Speaker 6: whether it be like an iminogenicity or expression in cell culture. 378 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:15,679 Speaker 1: Doctor Corbett is talking about a couple of things here. 379 00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:20,680 Speaker 1: You want to understand what site on a protein is 380 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:24,000 Speaker 1: important for attaching to a wholesale and then you also 381 00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:27,960 Speaker 1: need to understand which receptor on your wholet sale is important. So, 382 00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:30,280 Speaker 1: for example, a lung cell has over a thousand different 383 00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:33,119 Speaker 1: surface proteins. Oh my gosh, so somebody's got to figure 384 00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:35,720 Speaker 1: out which one this newly discovered virus binds to. 385 00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:38,960 Speaker 2: And doctor Corbett is optimistic that a vaccine will be 386 00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:40,720 Speaker 2: in clinical trials soon and. 387 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:43,200 Speaker 6: The reason why the research is actually moving so fast 388 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:46,879 Speaker 6: is because people have been studying these, including myself for 389 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:52,960 Speaker 6: some time. You know, we study B cells, we study 390 00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:55,840 Speaker 6: T cells here I don't particularly, but we do have 391 00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:59,320 Speaker 6: a T cell expert in our lab. You know, we 392 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:04,679 Speaker 6: study the antibodies on the mono level. So like one antibody, 393 00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:07,359 Speaker 6: we will study it for how well it binds to 394 00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:10,280 Speaker 6: a thing, how well does it kill a virus, how 395 00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:13,159 Speaker 6: well does it do this, what other the mechanisms does 396 00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,720 Speaker 6: it have. All of these questions are in the backdrop 397 00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:16,800 Speaker 6: of this vaccine design. 398 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:20,040 Speaker 1: But until the vaccine comes out, what should we do 399 00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:21,919 Speaker 1: from a public health perspective? 400 00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:26,119 Speaker 6: Be aware, but don't panic. You know, people are like, oh, 401 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:28,359 Speaker 6: should I get on the plane? What if somebody came 402 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:32,119 Speaker 6: in from China? First of all, the CDC is screening heavily, 403 00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:34,399 Speaker 6: and they are the best in the world at what 404 00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:37,639 Speaker 6: they do. The Centers for Disease Control, the United States 405 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:43,760 Speaker 6: Centers for Disease Control is amazing with diagnostics and prevention 406 00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:48,600 Speaker 6: and screening. And so still get on planes, still hang 407 00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:52,680 Speaker 6: out with your friends. If, for example, this thing turns 408 00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:55,080 Speaker 6: out to spread across the country, I have no idea 409 00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:56,640 Speaker 6: what it's going to do. But if it does turn 410 00:20:56,680 --> 00:21:00,040 Speaker 6: out to spread across the country, Wash your hands and 411 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:03,960 Speaker 6: sneeze into your arm, go to work, come home, and 412 00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:07,160 Speaker 6: go to sleep, and then when our vaccine comes out, 413 00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:09,320 Speaker 6: take it the end. 414 00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:11,920 Speaker 4: I think that was pretty clear advice. 415 00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:13,960 Speaker 1: We went into this trying to figure out what a 416 00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:16,440 Speaker 1: coronavirus is, where its name came from, and where it 417 00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:17,000 Speaker 1: came from. 418 00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:19,960 Speaker 4: And I think we've done those things. How it spreads. 419 00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:24,040 Speaker 1: You know, we have one route that's lung secretions, coughing, sneezing, 420 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:27,280 Speaker 1: and we have another potential route oral fecal and then 421 00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,840 Speaker 1: I think the next thing is how worried we should 422 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:32,600 Speaker 1: be about this. I think it's important to have some context. 423 00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:33,520 Speaker 2: Absolutely. 424 00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:38,119 Speaker 1: You know a lot of this early reporting about you know, transmission, 425 00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:40,639 Speaker 1: So how many people can be infected from one case. 426 00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:44,479 Speaker 1: That is transmission under a certain set of conditions, Right, 427 00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:48,080 Speaker 1: that's transmission when nobody knows that coronavirus is a thing, 428 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:50,800 Speaker 1: and so that's transmission where you might have a different 429 00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:52,840 Speaker 1: type of infrastructure. You have to remember this was an 430 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:55,960 Speaker 1: open wet market, so you're talking about open tanks and 431 00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:59,880 Speaker 1: buckets with fish viral matter, you know, or fecal matter 432 00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:05,000 Speaker 1: from bats in something that's in water splashing around everywhere. 433 00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:06,840 Speaker 4: That's very different. 434 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:08,960 Speaker 2: Anything could happen, Anything could happen. 435 00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:10,159 Speaker 4: There are a lot of variables that. 436 00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:13,520 Speaker 2: Are important to determining the transmission rate, right, And we 437 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:17,320 Speaker 2: can't just neglect all those things and say, oh, all 438 00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:23,520 Speaker 2: Asian people have coronavirus. That's racist, it's racist, and it's 439 00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:29,280 Speaker 2: ridiculous scientifically, right. What we know is in this space 440 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:32,080 Speaker 2: and time where we are right now, global trade and 441 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:37,359 Speaker 2: global travel is real. Right, So, yes, this was identified 442 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:41,040 Speaker 2: in Wuhan, but that's it, right, It was identified in Wuhan, 443 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:45,000 Speaker 2: and everybody that's in Wuhan wasn't necessarily Chinese, and everybody 444 00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:48,720 Speaker 2: that has coronavirus isn't necessarily Chinese exactly. And it's just 445 00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:52,639 Speaker 2: so unfortunate because of the way that these viruses are named. 446 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:55,440 Speaker 2: They take the name of the place where it was 447 00:22:55,600 --> 00:23:00,760 Speaker 2: first discovered, and so then you get this negative stigma 448 00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:04,760 Speaker 2: associated with that place, and it's not really fair, I 449 00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:05,200 Speaker 2: don't think. 450 00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:08,160 Speaker 1: And what we also know is that you know, people 451 00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:11,160 Speaker 1: are drawing back and making phases when someone is sneezing 452 00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:14,000 Speaker 1: or coffin. Yeah, sure, but also the incubation period before 453 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,960 Speaker 1: you start showing symptoms is two to fourteen days. That 454 00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:21,440 Speaker 1: means if you have a long incubation period, it takes 455 00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:23,280 Speaker 1: a while before you can catch this stuff, right, And 456 00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:25,720 Speaker 1: so that's part of why we see this really big 457 00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:30,000 Speaker 1: increase in the number of cases, because you can be 458 00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:31,840 Speaker 1: asymptomatic for a long time. 459 00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:34,880 Speaker 2: Right. So, just like doctor Corbett said, there are things 460 00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:38,720 Speaker 2: that we can do to help eradicate this disease from 461 00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:45,000 Speaker 2: our communities, and that is doing the right hygienic things 462 00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:49,280 Speaker 2: in order to make sure that the virus isn't spreading. 463 00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:53,800 Speaker 2: If the virus can't spread and attached to another whost 464 00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:56,760 Speaker 2: sale and you then and I got a choice but 465 00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:58,040 Speaker 2: to go away. 466 00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:01,480 Speaker 1: I think another thing just in the about hygiene, I 467 00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:03,880 Speaker 1: don't even want to get into the mask. Okay, leave 468 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:06,040 Speaker 1: the mask to the public health workers. I see, y'all, 469 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:08,960 Speaker 1: you're wearing your mask inside out. I'm like that you've 470 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:09,840 Speaker 1: turned it the wrong way. 471 00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,080 Speaker 2: They don't even have the right type of grade mask 472 00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:13,240 Speaker 2: to keep out something of that. 473 00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:15,080 Speaker 4: A viral particle is so small. 474 00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:17,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, you have to go and research those. 475 00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:18,040 Speaker 4: You need to read. 476 00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:29,600 Speaker 1: But I think the thing here is to understand distance 477 00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:32,200 Speaker 1: that viral particles can travel. So if we're talking about 478 00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:37,760 Speaker 1: coughing and sneezing. And what's the travel distance for the 479 00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:40,600 Speaker 1: uhan virus. It can only travel about six feet from 480 00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:44,200 Speaker 1: an infected person. Okay, now we don't know much about 481 00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:46,560 Speaker 1: it being able to exist on surface, how long that lasts. 482 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:51,120 Speaker 1: But just for perspective, you're worried about the coronavirus. But measles, 483 00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:52,800 Speaker 1: on the other hand, can travel up to one hundred 484 00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:55,439 Speaker 1: feet and it can stay alive for hours on the surface. 485 00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:56,119 Speaker 2: Oh my gosh. 486 00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:58,879 Speaker 1: So I'm just gonna drop that there. And so I 487 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:00,800 Speaker 1: think you know the those are kind of things that 488 00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:01,720 Speaker 1: you need to think about. 489 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,800 Speaker 2: Don't sleep on coffing into your sleeve like some people 490 00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:07,560 Speaker 2: are thinking that, Oh, the virus will travel through your sleep. 491 00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:09,720 Speaker 2: Like it matters, Like if you put it on your hand, 492 00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:12,040 Speaker 2: we touch everything with our fingers. Like if you put 493 00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:14,080 Speaker 2: it in your in the in the what do you 494 00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:17,439 Speaker 2: touch yourn, the clock on your arm.
