Assuming you mean viral load referring to mucuses or blood of the infected. Given that the human influenza virus’ entry requires the viral surface proteins (hemagglutinin (HA)) to bind to acids present on respiratory epithelial cells along with cleavage of HA by host cell proteases (enzymes that breakdown proteins) to facilitate membrane fusion. These trypsin-like proteases are mainly expressed in airway tissues, restricting influenza viral tissue response to the respiratory tract. I would say it would be highly unlikely for influenza viral replication existing in an environment lacking this crucial interaction let alone a low-pH environment like the GI tract

I have been living in Vancouver’s downtown east side (de facto epicentre of drug use) for nearly a decade and this is the first I’ve heard of the programme. If it’s been on for a while there’s been no change. If it get reversed there will still be no change

Props on the nature subscription, I had a subscription with physical copies that were fun to thumb through to really get a scope on my lack of understanding of everything in the world.

Why acedemic journals? Each article are all bleeding edge experimentation and theory that only the authors a handful of people really understand.

O’Reilly has a great subscription option and their books are very comprehensive and easy to read.

Tbf you are supposed use the signal before turning wheel

Otherwise I’d have to install a gui

This just seems to be detecting if the browser is Firefox. The function is even named isGecko which is Mozilla’s browser engine used by Firefox. Edge, IE (Trident) don’t return true from isGecko

Unless I’m missing something I don’t see where the delay is added

It’s not really like they are storing DNA sequences anyways. They use a genotyping array which just reads ~650k single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs).

An analogy would be 23andme has a 6.4mil page book of DNA for a single customer but they only know the position and letter of single character on every tenth page. Sure it’s enough to identify someone (You can confidently use 50 SNPs to identify these days) but it’s not like 23andme was ever storing a whole genome

What an adorable kangaroo
