Difficult to properly peer review when things are moving so quickly.

Plenty of things are being peer reviewed properly with this outbreak. But you can't take preprints in biology as any more holy writ than you can the occasional post on arXiv where someone claims to have come up with a complete unified model for physics, or solved a previously intractable problem.
True about the complete theory. I would suggest that proper review takes time though. Many eyes.
