Scientists are pursuing several different avenues to develop a vaccine for the novel coronavirus, but the process could take years.
The tremendous costs of COVID-19 show why the world needs to do a better job preventing epidemics from occurring – or at least mitigate the impact.
Viruses are basically parasites and, as such, can wreak havoc – but not always. Viruses are within you right now. Viruses cause the most damage when they jump from a familiar host to a new host.
The government today issued a statement extending the travel ban for non-Australian’s from China, and in doing so extended a priority on health and well-being over economy.
Quarantine measures on the Diamond Princess cruise ship weren’t effective, suggests new data. So Australian passengers without symptoms are going into quarantine again.
US researchers have revealed the molecular ‘key’ that allows the 2019-nCoV virus to gain access to our cells. And they found it is many times more tenacious than the previous SARS virus.
China needs to tell the world what is going on in its detention camps in the Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region.
Understanding the many factors that may play a role in spillover of pathogens from bats to humans requires systematic surveillance of bat populations.

Researchers around the world are working together to control the coronavirus outbreak, now known as COVID-19. This is what’s behind the global effort to develop a vaccine.
There’s no evidence the new coronavirus is airborne. It appears to spread by larger droplets, direct contact and contaminated surfaces or objects.
What’s the best way to tackle coronavirus myths and misinformation if they come up in everyday conversation?
The prevalence of racism and scapegoating in the face of catastrophes and disasters has a much longer history than the new coronavirus outbreak.
