      yes it will. i’m making a diagnostic test that will help doctors identify which drug treatment they should give a patient and which one they shouldn’t because the virus is resistance to it.

      I hope so. The team I’m part of is making a special endoscope that can be threaded into people’s lungs if they’re sick so that we can see directly what sort of bacteria or fungus or damage there is in there and give them the right medicine to help them fix it. I’m just a small part of that team, but everyone together can make a big difference.
