I found this article to be very fascinating, informative and solid. But then I think solid information is power...

...A hundred million coronavirus particles could fit on the head of a pin—typically, thousands or tens of thousands are necessary to infect an animal or a person...

...Since January, nearly eight hundred papers about the virus have been posted on BIORxiv, a preprint server for studies that have not yet been peer-reviewed. More than a thousand coronavirus genome sequences, from different cases around the world, have been shared in public databases. “It’s insane,” Kristian Andersen, a professor in the Department of Immunology and Microbiology at Scripps Research, told me. “Almost the entire scientific field is focussed on this virus now. We’re talking about a warlike situation.”...

...Based on experiments so far, researchers estimate that COVID-19 is slightly more communicable than the common flu and less communicable than the most highly infectious viruses, like measles, with which a single sick person can infect around twelve other people. There are likely coronavirus super-spreaders—people who, for whatever reason, are almost entirely asymptomatic but transmit the disease to many other people. But pinning down an exact infection rate, at this point, is an impossible task.

...Scientists behind a new study, published earlier this month in the journal Science, have found that for every confirmed case there are likely five to ten more people in the community with an undetected infection...
