5. In my opinion we should be focusing our attention on wastewater testing downstream of meat processing plants (for all types of animals). It wouldn't matter what tissue the virus is in, it would end up in the water and give us an early warning.

3. What we should be concerned about is that fact that the viruses is getting way too many chances. It keeps expanding its tropism. The more animals it replicates in, the more chances it gets to sample new configurations.

saliva FTW thanks to Anne Wyllie as usual, can confirm the…“kaleidoscopic” diversity from our in house COVID testing

Ooh look at that, CO2 display monitors at the #ESCMIDGlobal2024 conference poster areas. Not packed but a fair few folks in here 👍

Great to hear from so many people on their experiences of saliva and willingness to use. With trends showing a 7.9% CAGR by 2026 for saliva ID diagnostics this is definitely a space to watch. First ESCMID talk too!

Thanks to ESGREV for the support.

4/ Drinking raw milk can be dangerous.

Raw milk is full of bacteria & viruses.

We pasteurize milk to make it safe for you to drink without getting sick.

Don't drink raw sewage.

Don't drink raw milk.

If you're using Artificial Intelligence to write a literature review, you're missing >95% of the point. Every literature review I've ever written has been more about me growing in actual intelligence and finding new, unexpected questions. The writing was only the motivation

Very important to note here that qPCR positives are not the same as 'virus particles.' It's much easier to detect viral RNA by qPCR than it is to detect infectious virus or intact virus particles (as the article correctly notes).

This finding does have some big implications:
