I have a colleague who has -- probably very gross video -- of someone selling bat and theyll clip the wings off and put it in the bag so you can take it home and eat it in one of these live animal markets, they were out there studying other bat coronaviruses. And there are a lot of them that are similar to these. But, you know, this one happens to be the one that got into humans.

There are a range of new technology-enabled banks, fintech businesses, commercial banks and even niche investment banks who have identified gaps in the market in part caused by big global banks having pulled out of some businesses over the past few years.

There will be a time lag, since the disease takes some days to develop, but if the proper measures are being taken, there should soon be a large falloff in the number of new cases.

I think we're all kind of frustrated, as scientists, we're probably the least equipped to know how to do this.

It may be one in a million or one in 2 million, but I can't tell you that it won't happen to your child.

Even if you clean it twice a day, if someone happens just by chance to come on who's infected and their hands may be contaminated — they just sneezed into their hands and they put their hand on some surface — the cleaning only works for a short time, it's really up to all of us to take the precautions to protect ourselves.

The risk is related basically to proximity of infected people, how long you're on the subway and obviously the number of exposures you may have, so, if there are infected people near you, obviously then it's a matter of density. But we don't know how many infected people there are out there.
