Does NOT mean it can grow or reproduce. Just that a sample in some way placed onto a surface, then taken from the surface proved some viability when cultured in, as Woosh said, VSV or whatever other technique. Viruses depend on the activity of other living cells in order to reproduce. Hence...

You can't grow a virus on sterile plates. That approach would apply to some bacteria.

If so, how similar in order to impact our immune systems? For example, a very similar virus might prime the immune system to cope better with SARS-CoV-2 but without being detectable using an antibody test. Something like that might be a part of the explanation of some people having next to no...

Just seen the BBC's headline for this: Brexit: UK starts work on buying own sat-nav system to rival Galileo In what sense will, or even could, our sat-nav system rival Galileo? It would, first of all, need to be at least the equal of Galileo (and the others), then we'd have to manage to flog...
