In detection of RNA viruses, which are often present at low concentrations and are prone to degradation, stringent monitoring is needed for all aspects of assay performance, including virus lysis, RNA isolation, reverse transcription, amplification, and detection steps.

  “Parentcare” The erasure of mothers is coming from inside the house MARY HARRINGTON There’s an apocryphal  story  about a young MP being shown around Parliament by Winston Churchill, and referring to the MPs on the other benches as “the enemy”. Churchill reportedly said “That’s the opposition, dear boy. The enemy is behind you.” A common theme in the gender-critical pushback against gender ideology is righteous fury at the methodical erasure of female-specific terms from HR policies, medical documents, NGO communications and the like: “chest-feeders”, “birthing people”, “people with a cervix” and so on. Christine Rosen spoke for many when she  called  this “the new misogyny”: a form of woman-hatred that expresses itself by making femaleness literally unspeakable, and replaces the common-sense gestalt concept ‘woman’ with a jumble of seemingly disconnected physiological functions and body parts.
