What scientists can learn from the coronavirus pandemic | COVID-19 Special

COVID-19 presents manifold challenges for scientists. Genome researchers are out to detect new mutations as early as possible. Ecologists are investigating the risk of infection between animals and humans.

DW: Please, please keep the COVID-19 Special(s) posted on YouTube. There is NO counterpart in USA media that cites refereed journals and university research and explains the results like Derrick and your correspondents do.

Still pretty amazed how insane people acted in the last 3 years

We are like a planet of clowns

Some people don't believe in vaccines but my daughter and I got covid last year in Disney(Florida), I was vaccinated and just feel pain in my whole body and fever but my daughter wasn't vaccinated at the time and she got very sick and lost all her hair, 2 months after she got her vaccine and she got covid a month ago and only got fever the first day and that's it...she saw the diffrence and now is schedule for her booster.

We learned that mandates do not work and harm societies and economies.

Tell you what they can learn. To tell the truth. About this poison ☠️

simply mandate that the gorillas must wear masks and that they get vaccinated or be available for bushmeat.

Greening urban areas may help counter the urban greenhouse affect.

Unpopular opinion: Although these monitoring scientists help science in a general way, I think vaccination research investment is best. No doubt, the vaccination scientists can learn from information gleaned by the field scientists. Almost all discoveries come from serendipity during general science research and that is why general investment is essential.

Nothing, because they failed time and time again

Scientists must ask who. are responsible for the gain of function research that lead to Covid pandemic

I hope they’ve learned that shutting down the worlds economy is a really bad idea.

[stjepkomamic]

Scientists can learn that money is the only thing that matters.

That stupidity will seal the fate of even the most entrenched parties....

[joe.oneill]

What scientists can learn from the pandemic is, despite their huge egos, they know very little.

I doubt the lesson will sink in for most of them though.

If gorillas are large primates with an anatomy similar to ours, why must distancing from them and us be at 25 meters but between humans, 6 feet?

Zoonotic viruses and diseases have only been better understood in the recent century and decades especially after science has been able to look at the genome. But handling and cooking exotic meats require caution. Or at least, medicine has to be more aware and responsive when a potential outbreak happens, rather than the occasional or intermittent infection or parasitical attack.
