4月2日，UCSF的免疫系Journal Club， 对COVID-19的研究进展进行了非常棒的总结，可以从病毒学、免疫和病理方面更本质的了解一下SARS-CoV-2病毒。
UCSF Distinguished Professor and Chair of the Department of Laboratory Medicine, Clifford Lowell, MD, PhD, reviews the latest research and information about COVID-19 at our latest ImmunoX Journal Club (April 2, 2020). The Bakar ImmunoX Initiative is an ambitious, first-in-class program at UCSF that uses social engineering, state-of-the-art technologies and infrastructure, and a unique data sharing model to support a community of researchers and clinicians as they work toward solutions together.

Corrections to the information shared in this video:
In the video, it was suggested that bird flu, which has a high case fatality rate, was the cause of the 1918 pandemic. In fact, it was the Spanish flu, with a case fatality rate near the current pandemic, that was the problem in 1918. Bird flu (H5N1) was responsible for the big bird die off (and killing of poultry) around 1998.
Also, the statement that 15% of infections are asymptomatic is probably too low. A closer number might be 25%, with Dr. Fauci is suggesting as much as 50%. Additionally, the infectious disease community at UCSF stated that the study of the cruise ship people suggested a 40% asymptomatic carrier rate.
Journal Club是一直想在线分享的一种学术讨论形式，从在医院工作开始。很多在某一领域很强的科室都常规有这样的学术分享活动，但是大多数并不愿意分享出来，而且拍摄和视频处理也可能是一个障碍。到后来跟专家合作的时候还是做到了一个顶尖科室的定期学术沙龙分享，效果非常棒。
这次受疫情影响，很多原本线下的学术活动都被迫改到线上了（大多数学术大会干脆就先暂停了，确实不应该在这样的情况下召开），可能后续还会培养更多的线上分享交流习惯吧。关注专业来源内容，少浪费时间在大众网络中……
