After getting the virus under control, California Gov. Coronavirus infections in the state have doubled over the past month, and the number of hospitalized patients reached a new high on Monday. That fragment sets off alarms in the immune system and stimulates it to attack if the real virus shows up. Meanwhile, Brazil passed 5.8

Lab tests that look for the coronavirus’s genetic material using a technique called polymerase chain reaction (PCR) are still considered the gold standard for detecting the virus. That fragment sets off alarms in the immune system and stimulates it to attack if the real virus shows up. “I am hopeful that it works well.”
