Still more on adenovirus

An entire thread on the Website FluTrackers.com http://www.flutrackers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=41234 bears reading and absorbing.  The data seem to be pouring in now on adenovirus, especially ad14, the most interesting subtype.  Follow this thread and download and read the medical texts. 

Apparently, as Dr. Henry Niman and others have observed, this adenovirus is a recombining fool of an organism.  Co-infections with up to three different types of adenovirus are not uncommon.  And the virus has a foothold in other nations as well, including Egypt.

This situation bears very close watching.  In some cases, the Case Fatality Rate for Ad14 approaches 25%.  And testing for Ad14 is hardly ever done.

When I was associated with an IBM reseller, we learned one item from their lexicon:  You don't know what you don't know.  Clearly, we don't know the footprint of this virus, or how many people it actually infects, or how many times adenovirus has been misdiagnosed, or how many people it has actually killed and how many lives it has changed.

It is time to start finding out.
