Summary

The article discusses the complexity and persistence of rhinovirus infections despite COVID-19 public health measures. It highlights how rhinoviruses spread through multiple genotypes simultaneously, unlike SARS-CoV-2. This reflects core epidemiological insights into viral transmission and mutation patterns relevant to pandemics, zoonoses, and respiratory infections. Stephanie Goya's research emphasizes these points through genetic analysis and potential vaccine development.
