If you look at the map around Pokrovsk, you may finally see why I’ve long been worried, about both the city and the trajectory of the war. Talk of big enemy losses, forecasts of economic collapse, or claims I’m “too negative” won’t change it. Change starts by seeing problems

For rhinoviruses, interference "was once exploited on a small scale as an in vitro diagnostic tool, whereby successful experimental HRV infection of organ cultures was indicated by blockading the replication of other, subsequently inoculated, respiratory viruses" pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...
Human rhinoviruses (HRVs) are often concurrently detected with other viruses found in the respiratory tract because of the high total number of HRV infections occurring throughout the year. This featu...
