If they were doing it in Michigan, what they were doing were pilot experiments to see if the approach, especially the double-stranded RNA approach, reduced virus titers for North American strains. And there's no sarbecoviruses in North America at this time.

So what they would be spraying in the caves would not be the gain-of-function?
-
No.

Okay. Why is that?

So gain-of-function, you're talking about a live virus.
-
What would they be spraying?
-
They're spraying a small, double-stranded RNA molecule that induces host innate immune responses. That's host defense molecules that prevent virus infection, or limit virus replication.
-
Why are they trying to do these two DC.Scheduling@LexitasLegal.com different tasks? So they're doing something to gain function and they're doing something to spread --

No. So you're confounding experiments. The first aim, again, is to sort of walk through this process of what makes a threat virus, how do you identify it, and how do you then try to counter that threat approach.
