1. John Dubczak:

   Detection is down to one part per trillion, but we can take it down to a tenth of a trillion, and further orders of magnitude more sensitive.

2. International Development Secretary Justine Greening:

   The UK cannot disease-proof every developing country in the world from potential unprecedented outbreaks, but we can offer our full support when they strike, as we did in Sierra Leone before any other country and at considerable risk to British lives, everyone agrees that the World Health Organization should have reacted faster and the global system must reform to improve collective detection and reaction.

3. James Wood:

   The evidence for the potential involvement of pangolins in the outbreak has not been published, other than by a university press release. This is not scientific evidence, simply reporting detection of viral RNA with sequence similarity of more than 99% is not sufficient. Could these results have been caused by contamination from a highly infected environment?

4. Bryan Clark:

   At the end of WWII we did not have an undersea advantage. The Germans had developed submarines with snorkels and the US was searching for how they would deal with them. The new subs could avoid radar detection and were quiet when using their batteries. Then, nuclear submarines came along. Passive sonar worked really well against them because they make noise continuously. Passive sonar works well against nuclear submarines and is less effective against diesels.

So now can we create a system which can identify the objects and then translate that information to me. That's what we're working on now, some kind of sensor detection system that uses haptic to vibrate different parts of my body.
