"We show that mice lacking adaptive immune cells (rag−/− mice) do not develop clinical signs or weight loss from SARS-CoV-2 MA10 infection, whereas fully immunocompetent wild-type (WT) mice develop disease. While rag−/− mice had little to no lung pathology, virus levels were lower than WT mice early after infection, but not significantly decreased within 2 weeks of infection."

"This review provides an overview of how coronaviruses control viral and host translation during different stages of infection and compares these strategies to those of other RNA viruses. We focus on how Nsp1 from β-CoV hijacks the translation machinery and describe viral RNA features that promote viral evasion and programmed ribosomal frameshifting (PRF) in infected cells. Furthermore, we discuss other unique features of viral RNA and various stress response mechanisms triggered by coronaviral infection."

"A painter is like the pilot of a small boat—constantly correcting course, ever alert to changes in the weather, trying not to get swamped by the wakes of larger boats, steering toward the distant shore.
