I’ve always said ‘ones worse experience is usually your best, but it may not seem that way at the time’ originally meant it as work experience.
Since this recent pandemic, I, like most, only knew about the flu and it’s ‘derivatives’, from what we heard in high school. Since this pandemic started, I for one learned quite a bit, and still learning,... and being corrected.
This pandemic reminded me of a time a while back, that an investigation that occurred to look into the Spanish Flu outbreak in 1918. Where they were going to exhume graves of the flu victims and study it.
There was quite an uproar and concern, why do you want to take the chance of reintroducing this deadly flu. But then I never heard much of the results. I have some time on my hands, So I did some digging and came across an article of that, and it’s a pretty interesting read.
After some failed attempt spawned over decades, to secure a live virus, they were finally able to succeed, and in doing so, able to sequence the full length HA gene of the 1918 virus. To be able to understand it better.
I read through this article,... and in the process of rereading it more throughly.
It is pretty interesting article. Thought I’d share it.
