I’m working on a document / series of posts about coronavirus biology – viral structure, replication cycle, that sort of thing. This is mostly for my own education but I figure it’s also a useful exercise to make the result public in a presentable form. I’m posting this here (a) as a commitment device to get something out in the next week or so, and (b) to see if anyone has any questions they’d like answered in this area that I could look into.
Currently I’m mainly learning about coronavirus biology in general, expect to switch to COVID19 specifically in a couple of days.
Thanks, this is a nice layman’s overview. I’m not a layman, though, and I’m planning on going much deeper than this (I’ve spent a lot of my weekend buried in virology textbooks).
From the article: “HIV and SARS-CoV-2 have about as much in common as a human and a satsuma”
I wonder whether this is just journalistic flair or actually grounded in something. They don’t cite their sources very well, unfortunately.

Thanks but I’m not asking for sources. I have lots of sources already.
The best article for an interested lay person I have seen is this The Economist article: https://www.economist.com/briefing/2020/03/12/understanding-sars-cov-2-and-the-drugs-that-might-lessen-its-power
