I’m looking for opinions on this video, by a virology professor. which so far is my favorite explanation of basic coronavirus science. It covers basic things others didn’t (that there are literally no enzymes in a coronavirus capsule, it’s just mRNA), and some more specific things that I really wanted to know (like where in the lifecycle chloroquine and azithromycin appear to be disruptive). Before I crown it king, I’d like to get feedback on how easy-to-understand and useful this is for other people.
Caveats: spends a fair amount of time on things I found interesting but not on a straight path to usefulness, like swine flu.

Other contenders are
Medical Microbiology Chapter 57: Coronaviruses (less technical of the two I’ve read, although still aimed at biologists)
Coronaviruses: An Overview of Their Replication and Pathogenesis
Chapter 28 of Fields Virology, which I haven’t read yet.
