Could we expect babies born during the pandemic to have a reduced risk of asthma later on? It will be also interesting to monitor changes in infant antibiotic use this year.
Respiratory viruses in AB all dropped off with COVID containment and remain lower than usual (expand image- have # tests and % pos) but rhino-enteroviruses are coming up (This time of year could be 30-50% positivity, it's lower at 8.5% but dominant.) @MackayIM

Many fundamental scientific questions about the relationships between microbiomes & their hosts remain unanswered. A recent study done in the germ free facility shows fungi have a larger role in the development of the gut microbiome than ever realized: https://t.co/V0w04oA8q5
