An almost completely female team from the Virology laboratory of the National Institute of Infectious Diseases of the Spallanzani hospital in Rome who isolated the coronavirus. The team, directed by Maria Rosaria Capobianchi and coordinated by Maria Pisciotta, is made up of 14 women and one man. Capobianchi explained that the result obtained “is the result of teamwork, of the expertise and passion of the virologists of this institute, who has been at the forefront of all health emergencies in our country for years”.
“Isolating the virus will allow us to improve the response to the coronavirus emergency, to learn more about the mechanisms of the epidemic and to prepare the most appropriate measures,” added Giuseppe Ippolito, scientific director of Spallanzani. “Now it will be easier to find a vaccine for coronavirus, the cultivation of the virus is a fundamental fact for any credible preparation of aids and new strategies – Capobianchi said on the sidelines of the press conference on the coronavirus in Rome – Having the virus available means start from a good base ».
“Until a few days ago, the sequence data of the virus that the Chinese had published were available – explained the docteress – who did not bring the virus out of China despite having isolated it. The data and the diagnostics developed was based on theoretical data, they worked well, controls were designed, but now we can have real control, that is, the virus ».
Israel's Institute for Biological Research and the Israeli Health Ministry have been tasked with creating a vaccine, Netanyahu said after meeting with officials about how to address the spread of the virus. The Israeli National Security Council will coordinate efforts to deal with the problem in Israel, the Prime Minister's Office said.
"Our goal is first of all to postpone the virus' arrival in Israel. I say 'postpone' because it is inevitable that it will arrive," Netanyahu said. The aim, he said, is then to identify those infected, to quarantine them at home for two weeks and to treat them.
"We are also briefing the Palestinian Authority about all the preventative steps and public health [issues] that they also need to take into account," he added.

I’m happy either way my friend, I’m just very proud that Australian scientists seem to do rather well in these circumstances, not bad for a bunch of upside down people 😁
