For safety reasons. For disabled people.
Last year I twisted my ankle and for a few days the only way I could use flight of stairs was to held onto the rails.

The info from China shows that it spreads primarily through inhaling droplets, not through touching surfaces.
Which is why I expect the epidemic to be way way worse outside of Asia, since in the West people don't wear masks and are actively discouraged by the health authorities.

On average a person gets the common cold 3 times each year. You probably got the cold, but had zero symptoms.

This is what antibodies do, right?
How exactly does the body figure out how to configure the variable part of the antibody so that it binds? Does it just try countless variations until it finds a match?
Can we take an antibody from a healed person and reverse engineer the binding protein?
