Virologist. Our cells have the ability to fight common viral infections. Let's use this ability to treat viral infections, prevent progression, and stop the spread of viruses. Back to nature & birds for sanity.

Cells are smart. They convert chloride ion to hypochlorous acid to stop viruses multiplying within the cell. A first line of defense, the mechanism is generic and worked against all the viruses we tested. We can treat common viral infections by supplying the cell with the chloride ion it needs.
A lovely sunny day. Made better by seeing my first Dotterel (Carnethy hill, Pentlands). A very trusting bird, busy feeding after a long trip from Africa @birdinglothian.bsky.social
