MP>JK>Thanks for proving what I said in this one essentially true:
MP>JK>MP>JK>MP>JK>Finding a virus is just about an impossible job. They are
MP>JK>MP>JK>MP>JK>very, very tiny when compared to other microbes.  I had a
MP>JK>MP>JK>MP>JK>researcher as a patient one time at Swedish who told me
MP>JK>MP>JK>MP>JK>what had to be done.  It is worse than looking for a
MP>JK>MP>JK>MP>JK>needle in a haystack! At least the needle can be seen.
MP>JK>MP>JK>MP>Jane, I deal with a virus every day. Your information is
MP>JK>MP>JK>MP>woefully out of date. The use of various types of electron
MP>JK>MP>JK>MP>microscopes, etc. has made the job quite easy.
MP>JK>MP>JK>I was told that the virus itself isn't seen, the "shadow" it
MP>JK>MP>JK>makes is. If this is now untrue, what is? And why does it still
MP>JK>MP>JK>take a long time to find any "new" virus?
MP>JK>MP>It is an electron image. Sort of like a "shadow".
MP>JK>The virus itself is not seen, which is what I was told.
MP>JK>MP>As for finding a new virus, I have no solid experience. My bugs
MP>JK>MP>are well known, and really are easy to find. They are quite
MP>JK>MP>plentiful.
MP>JK>MP>However, to find a new virus, you first have to find a location
MP>JK>MP>where they might be. The area scanned by a e-scope is so small it
MP>JK>MP>makes anything, even the area scanned, hard to find.
MP>JK>In short, they are hard to find, which is also what I was told.
MP>JK>So why is my information so out of date?
MP>Because it is YOUR information, gathered from sitting on hard chairs in
MP>hard science courses in the 1940's.
Nope.  It was gained from a man who did this sort of work in the 1970's,
late 1970's.  And it has since been validated by a man who is doing this
kind of work today and has posted in this conference.
Just because you have lived a dull and rather uninteresting life and
remained in one place doesn't mean that others stay put and do not
encounter new people, new ideas, and new experiences.
