Another covid "death"...

Andrew Brooks, Who Developed a Coronavirus Spit Test, Dies at 51
His breakthrough helped millions get their results quickly in the early days of the pandemic, when tests were scarce and lines were long.
quote:
The resources and experience he accrued at the repository made it relatively easy for Dr. Brooks to develop the coronavirus spit test, which he did in partnership with two other companies, Spectrum Solutions and Accurate Diagnostics Labs.
He was used to doing genetic testing through saliva, and “it wasn’t rocket science,” Dr. Tischfield said, to adapt those techniques to extract RNA from the coronavirus. The company even had thousands of tubes on hand that it could use to collect samples.

Researcher behind COVID-19 saliva test dies unexpectedly, university says
New Jersey native Andrew Brooks, 51, died on Jan. 23

A research professor at Rutgers University who developed the first saliva test for the coronavirus has unexpectedly died, the college said.
New Jersey native Andrew Brooks, 51, passed away on Jan. 23, the university said in a statement, without elaborating.
As the chief operating officer and director of technology development at RUCDR Infinite Biologics, Brooks led the effort to develop the COVID-19 saliva test.

The guy who invented PCR checked out before all the fun began
He would have called the way PCR was used out...

Kary B. Mullis, 74, Dies; Found a Way to Analyze DNA and Won Nobel
His discovery created a new world of possibilities in diagnosing disease, unearthing the past and assisting in criminal cases, including O.J. Simpson’s murder trial.

By Dylan Loeb McClain
Aug. 15, 2019
Kary B. Mullis, a biochemist who won the 1993 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for discovering a way to analyze DNA easily and cheaply and thus pave the way for major advances in medical diagnostics, molecular biology and forensic science, died on Aug. 7 at his home in Newport Beach, Calif. He was 74.
The cause was heart and respiratory failure brought on by pneumonia, his wife, Nancy Cosgrove Mullis, said.
The process for analyzing DNA that Dr. Mullis invented is called polymerase chain reaction, or PCR. It replicates a single strand of DNA millions of times, enabling scientists to pinpoint a segment of the strand and amplify it for identification. Polymerase, an enzyme that synthesizes polymers and nucleic acids, is essential in creating DNA and RNA, the molecules that are responsible for coding DNA.
Before PCR, amplifying DNA took weeks, because it had to be generated in bacteria. Once Dr. Mullis’s process was perfected, it took only hours, opening up a world of possibilities.

Works for flu, but not COVID. Double mask folks....
These viruses also have self awareness of riots vs rallies and political machinations (little devils...)

Simon de Lusignan, professor of primary care at the University of Oxford and director of the Royal College of GPs research and surveillance centre, said influenza had now been “almost completely wiped out”. John McCauley, director of the World Health Organisation's collaborating centre for reference and research on influenza, told the newspaper: “The last time we had evidence of such low rates was when we were still just counting influenza deaths, and that was in 1888, before the 1889-90 flu pandemic.”
quote:
reported that in the second week of January, the number of flu-like illnesses reported to GPs was just 1.1 per 100,000 compared to a five-year average rate of 27 per 100,000.

Experts told the newspaper that the coronavirus pandemic could have contributed to plummeting levels of flu cases with improved hygiene and measures taken to combat the COVID crisis helping limit the spread of flu.

Sir Simon told the Health and Social Care Committee: “it would be great if the Covid vaccine and flu vaccine ends up being combined into a single vaccine, which we might see if not this winter but future winters as well”.

Please explain how this has anything to do with Q.
It’s the new “racist”, “sexist”, “xenophobic”, “homophobic” accusations since they have used them so much till they have lost their intended effect.
It’s for use by simpletons who drool in front of leftist propaganda. Remember..... these people voted for an elderly, dementia riddled puppet because media and propaganda told them to. The same propaganda that made them question Trump’s age.... made them accept Biden’s.
That’s how little they are able to think for themselves.

Wonder what will happen to “cases”..
