What manner of conversion did you use? From the little I remember of my molecular biology, it sounds like you're using codons, cause you've got those groups of notes - but how are you making the polyphonies?
Great concept, by the way - I've always loved a bit of art based on science.

just because you've made it sound cool? I mean, surely pretty much any stretch of DNA would sound broadly the same if you gave it the same treatment, unless I'm misunderstanding what you did here?

From what I understand, the vast majority of folk who contract the virus will present with symptoms no worse that of a bad cold. If that's the case, then how many of those folk are seriously going to assume they have the virus? Particularly if they haven't recently been abroad (Surrey bloke, for example)?
If the majority of cases don't feel like they have it because they aren't in a hospital bed drowning in their own pus, how does the UK Government plan on containing it? Mass quarantine? That'll be a bit of a shitter.
