Quick notes: Han hug | AI for drug discovery...

• Han hug: Chinese vassal state Italy grapples with worst coronovirus outbreak outside Asia. Towns in northern Italy under quarantine, Venice carnival closes.



• Newyork Post: Don’t buy China’s story on coronavirus.. It turns out that snakes don’t carry coronaviruses and that bats aren’t sold at a seafood market. Neither are pangolins, for that matter.



• How China Endangered the World: The international health community has tried to infer from the dubious official daily tallies just how dangerous the coronavirus disease may be for the rest of the world. The bottom line is trust, which appears to be waning inside China and is increasingly unraveling across the public health world. An epidemic cannot be fought and won unless the bonds of trust between governments and people can survive the grief, confusions, emotions, and medical challenges of the battle.
  


• Scientists discover powerful antibiotic using AI: In a world first, scientists have discovered a new type of antibiotic using artificial intelligence. It has been heralded by experts as a major breakthrough in the fight against the growing problem of drug resistance. A powerful algorithm was used to analyse more than one hundred million chemical compounds in a matter of days. The newly discovered compound was able to kill 35 types of potentially deadly bacteria, said researchers.
