Reply to Extracts from two common wildflowers, tall goldenrod and eagle fern blocked SARS_CoV_2, the virus responsible for COVID-19, from entering human cells. The findings could provide a new avenue to develop pharmaceutical treatments for COVID-19. by MistWeaver80
Abstract looks like a pretty well run study with lots of candidates tested:
Evaluation of 1867 extracts and 18 compounds for virus spike protein binding to host cell ACE2 receptors in a SARS-CoV-2 pseudotyped virus system identified 310 extracts derived from 188 species across 76 families (3 fungi, 73 plants) that exhibited ≥ 50% viral entry inhibition activity at 20 µg/mL. Extracts exhibiting mammalian cytotoxicity > 15% and those containing cardiotoxic cardiac glycosides were eliminated. Three extracts were selected for further testing against four pseudotyped variants and infectious SARS-CoV-2 and were then further chemically characterized, revealing the potent (EC50 < 5 µg/mL) antiviral activity of Solidago altissima L. (Asteraceae) flowers and Pteridium aquilinum (L.) Kuhn (Dennstaedtiaceae) rhizomes.

Are there any known environmental causes for degenerative neurone diseases?

True, hadn't considered that. The article does mention that it raises the possibility of Alzheimer's originating in adolescence before late adulthood. So perhaps this is merely very aggressive phenotype as you suggest.

I have friends that like Frank Zappa and SLIPKNOT, respectively, and I can't stand either of those music artists.

"wow a lot of young chinese people are losing their memories to the point that it would be suspicious if we still considered it a rare happening"

it would take a mountain of instances to make it even 20/80. and that's a generous benchmark to dq a description as a rare occurrence.

It's probably just that the more aggressive degenerative process needed for onset at a young age also leads to faster progression.

I do this with both music and books. I know by the first page if I will enjoy a book or not. Readers get very upset that I don’t give books a chance. I know immediately if I like the authors style and cadence.
