    That is a lot of masks.

    I guess is that masks will still be effectively compulsory in China. In a similar bipolar world, I've screened lots ofpapers on bioRxiv that basically fall into two camps: (i) SARS-CoV-2 is able to bind to ACE2 from a broad range ofspecies; (ii) SARS-CoV-2 is able to bind to ACE2 from a narrow range of species.
