Questions to Think About
From @dziakj1:

Hello everybody! I was watching a lecture on Youtube from Dr. Britt Glaunsinger of Berkeley:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_bOhZd6ieM
At the end (about 1:00:00), she listed six questions which she considered especially important for future basic science research on SARS-CoV-2:

1. "What is the role of the polybasic site in the spike protein in CoV-2 transmission?"
2. "What are the pathways involved in CoV-induced memberane remodeling, and how do RTCs temporally and functionally coordinate various stages of the viral lifecycle?"
3. "What are the biochemical activities and roles of the various proteins that form the replication transcription complex, and how do they coordinate genome replication vs. transcription?"
4. "How do CoVs maintain such a large genome and still have sufficient mutation rates for adaptation and trans-species movement?"
5. "What are the functions of the CoV-2 accessory proteins, and how do they impact the in vivo growth and virulence of the virus?"
6. "Will CoV-2 infected individuals (or vaccines) mount protective long-term immune responses?"
   I just wanted to pass this along in case it gave anyone any useful ideas on what topics to focus on in reviewing.

Hello everybody! In case anyone missed it, a narrative review of pharmacological treatments for COVID-19 just came out in JAMA: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2764727

This new curated and annotated resource from Kathryn Grabowski at Johns Hopkins (@JHU_NCRC on Twitter) looks extremely promising:
Novel Coronavirus Research Compendium

They say they will launch a website (not just a Google doc) very soon.

A great thing to do is to go through @rdvelazquez list of preprints that need issues opened in #227
Use the appropriate New Paper template to open an issue for the papers and then comment on #227 saying which papers you created issues for
