What are adenoviruses?

In the first place - adenoviruses. Currently, about 40 viruses of this family are known.
The first member of this family was discovered in 1953.
Most of these infections do not require symptomatic treatment.

With every breathing mask, it's essential to consider that - given the high exposure risk - every mucous membrane should be protected, as airborne pathogens like COVID can also enter through the eye mucous membranes. Personally, I'd rather be on the safe side.

P.S. It also provides better protection against chemical hazards, such as tear gas, for example.

Just to clarify, you do not see me in the NBC suit. I would wear gloves to be extra cautious! 
Better safe than sorry!

Ultra-selective give viruses a taste of their own medicine
Inspired by the way attach to cells, EPFL scientists have developed a method for engineering ultra-selective aptamers. The synthetic molecules bind to targets like viral spike proteins, making them useful for and treatments

Inspired by the way #viruses attach to cells, @EPFL scientists have developed a method for engineering ultra-selective #aptamers: synthetic molecules that bind to specific targets like viral spike proteins.

Specifically, the team has published the first technique for producing multimeric aptamers that target protein complexes with unprecedented precision and functionality, making them extremely promising for biomedical diagnostics and treatments!

Viruses that roam the fungal kingdom knowablemagazine.org/content/a

"today, scientists researching fungal #viruses are enjoying a golden age of discovery... finding all sorts of weird and wonderful interactions between #fungi and their viruses and even between fungal viruses and #plants or #animals. Most fungal viruses don’t seem to do much of anything to their hosts, but others cause sickness or offer surprising benefits."

As near as anyone can tell, RFK Jr has never prevented or cured a single disease or helped to eradicate a single virus. In short, RFK Jr is unqualified in every way and should not be making decisions that will adversely affect and kill millions of people.

The West Nile virus is detected in mosquitoes in the UK for the first time.

“Fragments” of West Nile virus have been detected in UK mosquitoes, suggesting that the virus is circulating in the country, probably as a result of the warming climate
