Last year I twisted my ankle and for a few days the only way I could use flight of stairs was to held onto the rails.
Which is why I expect the epidemic to be way way worse outside of Asia, since in the West people don't wear masks and are actively discouraged by the health authorities.
How exactly does the body figure out how to configure the variable part of the antibody so that it binds? Does it just try countless variations until it finds a match?
Can we take an antibody from a healed person and reverse engineer the binding protein?
