Covid is a fu*king retrovirus.

And there is a baby boom right now because of the lockdowns. * +

You can't vaccinate against something that has integrated itself into your genome.. surely? * +

This is why people still test positive after they get it.. make sense to you now? * +

CRISPR gene editing tech could be the solution. * +

The rise of the mammals may be feel like a familiar tale, but there's a twist you likely don't know about: If it wasnt for a virus, it might not have happened at all.

One of the few survivors of the asteroid impact 65 million years ago was a small, furry, shrew-like creature that lived in underground burrows and only ventured out at night, when predators werent active. The critter - already the product of some 100 million years of evolution - looked like a modern mammal, with body hair and mammary glands, except for one tiny detail: according to a recent genetic study, it didn't have a placenta. And its kind might never have evolved one if not for a chance encounter with a retrovirus.
