My professional (biochemistry) twitter feed has been blowing up lately with rapid releases of data on the novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV), and I thought I could give some insight to the scientific front lines.
Main takeaway: because we have the structure of a key nCoV protein, and because it is very similar to the functionally-identical protein in the nCoV relative, SARS, this discovery means we can leap ahead in drug development for combating nCoV infection.

There was also an article posted here recently about the success of AlphaFold predicting protein structure correctly, and a question about why this is important. Here's an excellent example.
