So, here’s my question:

Isn’t every rhinovirus (common cold) a rather unique virus? Isn’t that why it’s so hard to cure the common cold? Because it’s different every time? If this test lists every virus you’ve had, won’t it list about 60 colds that you’ve had in your lifetime? And do they all have names? I mean, the “mumps” virus is one thing, but the cold I had in the winter of 1979 was really bad — but how will it be identified (named)?

Okay. We picked on the common cold. Let’s see the excuse for the common flu that the boy’s can’t cure.

I have a feeling all the colds will be categorized as one species of virus. I don’t think the test will be all that useful for most people.
