0:00.0 | This week in virology, the podcast about viruses, the kind that make you sick. |
0:10.4 | From microTV, this is TWIV, this week in virology episode one thousand eight recorded on May 18th, |
0:20.5 | twenty twenty three. I'm Jensit Racken yellow and you're listening to the podcast all about viruses |
0:28.3 | joining me today from New York, Daniel Griffin. Hello everyone. I'm joining you from Geneva, Switzerland. |
0:39.9 | Yeah, it's a different different background. I was, you know, I should have remembered it's only |
0:44.5 | been a few days since you told me you were headed there. So just got off a four-day |
0:50.0 | Nido virus meeting, which was really, really cool. And at the end, maybe this is something you'll |
0:56.2 | cover next time, may a WHO announced its new booster policy. Yeah, you were there for that. And yes, |
1:05.3 | it was, you know, we'll just mention slightly, but yeah, we'll discuss that more next time. But let |

2:02.8 | genomic surveillance still seeing some folks in the hospital with COVID. So it is certainly still |
2:09.9 | with us. But I want to move right into testing. Because this is a question, I think it's a |
2:15.7 | perennial question. And I will get right into it with the article virus variant specific clinical |
