Haha, thanks Ry. I agree. This kind of stuff is seeping into the collective consciousness, although people aren't paying massive attention to it. Yet. It's funny, cos I actually started off on a rant but all that fell away as I dug more into the microbiome/virome connections. It then made no sense to rehash old ground. At least I feel like I'm contributing something new here (although none of the research is mine obvs) by pulling all this together in regular speak.

Pulling it together in regular speak is important. I think it's one of the things the media is supposed to do but well they do an awesome job of that don't they.
