Review of Paper Methods: Isolating the COVID-19 "Virus"
In this video I go over further into the main paper on COVID-19 "virus" isolation, and this time review the paper's methods in isolating the "novel virus". The stated methods involved first collecting the lung fluid samples in a plastic cup, and then chemical preservatives (PBS) or fetal bovine serum (FBS) were added. The samples were then centrifuged and the resulting supernatant was assumed to somehow contain the "virus" and used to "infect" human airway cell cultures obtained from other lung cancer patients. Then the cultures were "incubated" or grown for 2 hours at 37°C, and then diluted to a new cell culture. This procedure was done 3 times total and each time the cell cultures were monitored using optical light microscopy for "cytopathic effects" (or cell breakdown / death). Cultures showing cytopathic effects were then prepared for electron microscopy. No information on the procedure for controls were presented. And no explanation as to why the centrifuged supernatant of the patient lung fluid samples were assumed to contain the "virus".
