Derailments:

  • /teeth – And headed for another if I can’t get back into my routine! Grr.

New goals:

  • /genomicsera – For the FutureLearn course on genetics in medicine. Though it’s already annoyed me by asserting that “COVID-19 and SARS-CoV-2” are both names for the virus. (No: SARS-CoV-2 is the name of the virus; COVID-19 is in fact the name of the syndrome it causes. Like the difference between HIV and AIDs. They’re inextricably linked, you can’t have COVID-19 if you aren’t infected with SARS-CoV-2, but that doesn’t mean COVID-19 is the name of the virus. I expect a little accuracy from a course supposedly teaching science…)
