- A tiger has tested positive for COVID-19. Is this coronavirus particularly good at species jumping relative to other coronaviruses? Have house cats become infected yet by this virus?
- Is it possible there have been virus outbreaks in the past that have infected millions but were never detected because they never caused any symptoms?
- I am a research professor who studies risky travel-related decisions and how a tourist destination responds to a crisis. AMA!
- How can ancient structures that aligned with the sun at the equinox thousands of years ago still line up, given the movement of the land eg plate tectonics?
- Are there manmade satellites in orbit around the moon?
- Why do most or all viruses have negative symptoms on hosts?
- Would the CCR5-delta 32 prevent Covid-19 from infecting a person?
- What effect might the measures to fight Covid-19 around the world have on more common illnesses?
- How do scientists go about predicting what type of flu vaccine is needed for the upcoming year? How do they know what is type or mutation is most likely?
- Does the amount of virus that first enters your body determine the severity of your sickness?
- what does testing negative to COVID-19 mean after being positive? Does it mean the virus has completely left the body or the body's immunity has improved enough to keep a check on the virus? Can an infected person once cured can still infect others?
- What is the size (in nanometres) of covid 19? (I tried to google it but it was just news reports on the spread of the virus)

| Posted: 06 Apr 2020 07:22 AM PDT Hi Reddit! I'm Lori Pennington-Gray, Director of the Eric Friedheim Tourism Institute at the University of Florida. Right now, we are working on a study that assesses travel related to concerns about COVID-19 with weekly trends. We are including variables like threat appraisal, future travel decisions, trusted sources and travel anxiety index. I have completed numerous research projects in Florida as well in countries such as Canada, Mexico, Korea, South Africa, Russia, Peru and others throughout the Caribbean. I focus on the following research topics at the University of Florida:
More about me: I received my Ph.D. in Park, Recreation and Tourism Resources from Michigan State University in 1999, my M.S. in Leisure Studies from Pennsylvania State University in 1994 and my B.A. in Recreation and Leisure Studies from University of Waterloo in 1993. I have consulted with several destination marketing organizations to design research projects. I lead the Tourism Crisis Management Initiative, established in 2007, where we aim to develop ways to manage the tourism industry during crises by implementing methods of crisis reduction, readiness, response and recovery. I am a member of the International Ecotourism Society, the Travel and Tourism Research Association, the World Travel and Tourism Council, and many other associations related to the tourism industry.

| Are there manmade satellites in orbit around the moon? Posted: 06 Apr 2020 06:36 AM PDT Come to think of it I've never heard or seen mention of moon satellites, let alone data streams. [link] [comments]  |
| Why do most or all viruses have negative symptoms on hosts? Posted: 05 Apr 2020 07:13 PM PDT I'm not quite sure how something like virus evolution works, but I would think having positive symptoms would make them better at propagating than debilitating or potentially killing whatever is infected.

| Would the CCR5-delta 32 prevent Covid-19 from infecting a person? Posted: 06 Apr 2020 12:22 AM PDT Would the CCR5-delta 32 mutation which prevents HIV from infecting cells also prevent Covid-19 from infecting cells? [link] [comments]  |
| What effect might the measures to fight Covid-19 around the world have on more common illnesses? Posted: 06 Apr 2020 04:00 AM PDT There are a lot more people social distancing, wearing masks, washing hands properly and frequently, and disinfecting things. So will we see a downtrend in things like the Flu or the common cold for a couple of years because we are hurting them while fighting Covid-19? [link] [comments]  |

| Does the amount of virus that first enters your body determine the severity of your sickness? Posted: 05 Apr 2020 05:10 PM PDT As in, would drinking 2 cups of pure coronavirus be more deadly than one droplet of coronavirus? Or even the Flu for that matter? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 06 Apr 2020 04:47 AM PDT I'm asking this because a well-known celebrity in my country has tested negative only after sixth time. And she has been discharged from the hospital. Can she still infect others? [link] [comments]  |

| Why do viruses cause inflammation? Posted: 05 Apr 2020 05:10 PM PDT Sorry for my ignorance if I'm missing something terribly obvious but I just don't understand. I watched a video on coronavirus saying that the virus causes your lungs to be inflamed, making it hard for you alveoli to transfer oxygen to your blood. This is fatal without a ventilator because your body needs oxygen to produce new cells. But why do viruses cause inflammation in the first place? I understand that inflammation is your body's response to damage. But how are viruses doing damage? I understand that viruses invade the body and forces a cell to make several copies of itself. Why is this a necessarily a problem and why does this problem cause inflammation? Thank you. [link] [comments]  |
| Theoretically, should it be possible to create a vaccine for any virus imaginable? Posted: 05 Apr 2020 05:39 PM PDT Ok, so this question is inspired by a file you find in the resident evil 3 remake. Basically a scientist remarked that he believes that with infinite budget, you can create a vaccine to handle any individual virus. Which is why he thought it was safer to make bioweapons from viruses rather than parasites (like the nemesis) Is there any accuracy to that claim? With our current knowledge of viruses, if you had enough time and money, could you produce a vaccine for anything viral? Discounting that viruses can mutate into different strains, could you at least produce a vaccine for any individual strain, even if it can't handle all of them? [link] [comments]  |
| Why don't we use legs instead of wheels on planetary rovers? Posted: 05 Apr 2020 09:57 PM PDT There is no roads on mars so why don't rovers have legs since they are far more able to adapt to pretty much every types of terrain here on Earth than wheels, isn't it the same thing on mars and other planets?

| Posted: 05 Apr 2020 08:19 AM PDT It always seems like there's a vaccine, or a natural immunity after contracting some virus. But how does it seem like humans have THE antibody for every specific virus there is? Did our ancestors get all of these different strands over thousands of years and we just naturally get them? Or is it more of our body making an antibody specifically for a new infection it finds that it doesn't have a "cure" for? [link] [comments]  |
