Q

T or F

Sg RNA are directly used after being transcribed from the + strand genome

True

This showed that we were exposed before to those viruses

28

DDP4
Adenovirus vector
30
Q

T or F

DDP4 receptors are found in mice

A

2

Infectious

34
Q

MOT:
Duration of the infection:
MR:

A

35
Q

T or F

N95 is not useful in any case

A

It’s true that a normal mask can protect from covid
