#NewDisneyQuarantineRides trends as Twitter users imagine coronavirus theme park rides with toilet paper and hand sanitizer
With social media feeds regularly filling up with bad news as the coronavirus pandemic worsens, some Twitter users decided to take a more light-hearted approach. #NewDisneyQuarantineRides was trending on the social networking platform on Sunday as users imagined how rides at Disney theme parks could be renamed to fit a coronavirus theme. Some of the suggestions included plays on existing rides involving toilet paper and hand sanitizer — both items which are now hard to come by due to panic-buying during the pandemic. "It's A Small Roll," joked Tom Gardiner on Twitter, alongside an image of a nearly empty roll of toilet paper. "Indiana Jones and The Last Roll," another Twitter user suggested.

Monkeypox virus mutations ‘challenging’ what we know
The monkeypox virus spreading across the US, Europe and the UK is mutating surprisingly fast, according to a study conducted by Portuguese researchers and published in the journal Nature Medicine. The study offers the most in-depth look at the genetic makeup of the virus so far. Scientists sequence virus genomes because the genome is the virus's playbook — the genome is the genetic material of an organism, and, in the case of a virus, it tells us what the virus is, what is does and how it is likely to spread. Monkeypox mutated 50 times since 2018 For the study, the researchers took samples from 15 monkeypox patients and compared the genomes of the virus that had infected them. The researchers found that the patients each had a strain of monkeypox that could be traced back to a previous outbreak of the virus in 2018-2019 in the United Kingdom, Israel and Singapore, which had originated in Nigeria. But, more than that, the tests showed that the virus had mutated 50 times — … [Read more...] about Monkeypox virus mutations ‘challenging’ what we know
