There were two publications that just came out. Phil - Do we know what happens to the virus when it's in the minks?Īlina - This part is kind of a mystery, pr I'd say at least an ongoing study. So we've got Denmark but the first was actually the Netherlands, and they were the first to report a mink outbreak back in April of this year. As of today, there are at least six countries that have reported these mink outbreaks. Phil - So is this the first time that minks have got SARS-CoV-2?Īlina - No, this is not the first time that this whole scenario of transmission from humans, to minks, to humans has been observed.
And so it's not surprising that minks are susceptible to SARS-2. That's because we have known for a while - scientists have known for a while - that SARS-type viruses can infect ferrets, which are in the same family as minks. You know, I wouldn't have put minks as top on my list of COVID threats.Īlina - Yeah, this is not too surprising, although it's really devastating to hear this news. And now that virus that has been circulating among the minks has passed back into the human population in Denmark. More than 200 have been found to have COVID-19 outbreaks. Alina Chan is a scientist from the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard who wasn’t involved with the Danish research, but has been looking into COVID in minks, and explained the situation to Phil Sansom…Īlina - In Denmark they have more than 1100 mink farms. To address the problem scientists are now trying to understand how the virus behaves in minks, and whether the unique version that comes from minks presents a unique problem for treatments. Reportedly this version has been transmitted human-to-human as well, although it’s not clear whether this is still going on. And crucially, the mink have given 12 of those people a unique version of the virus. $2.5 million can undoubtedly pay for all the shelving supplies she needs, so perhaps that will be her first purchase as a Grand Slam winner - if her parents grant permission.Since July, over 200 people in Denmark have been infected with copies of the coronavirus that have been spreading through mink farms. Raducanu told the BBC she hopes to place her US Open trophy "front and center" somewhere in her home and might create a "nice display" for it.
#ALINA NAKED AND FUNNY TV#
I knew exactly what was going to happen but still it's a very tense moment and, re-watching it, I was really proud of how I came through some tough moments and also the timeout at the end – I didn't realise how stressful that was on TV compared to live."
"It's funny because when I was watching it, it almost feels like that's not me that was playing and pulling off some of those shots, it feels like it's someone else. "I actually re-watched the final and tried to relive a couple of the moments and remember how it felt, so it is sinking in a little more," Raducanu said. Raducanu also rewatched her US Open final win and, for the first time, felt the spine-tingling nerves her 3.4 million television viewers had live. prime minister she hopes her success will accelerate the game's growth within the country.
She spoke about her US Open win with Boris Johnson over the phone, telling the U.K. Raducanu has enjoyed a lowkey but productive return to Britain.
