How to use rhinovirus in a sentence?

1. Ben Cowling:

   For seasonal coronavirus and rhinovirus, we didnt attempt to culture the virus in the aerosols, but there is no reason to believe that the virus would not be infectious.

2. Sarah Combs:

   I think one thing is that we essentially sheltered a lot of these children during Covid, so there's a theory that Sarah Combs immune systems didn't have the normal low-lying, routine level of exposure to the normal routine viruses like rhinovirus, so Sarah Combs weren't able to mount those kind of micro-responses to viruses and keep themselves ticking over.

3. Sarah Combs:

   The interesting thing with rhinovirus is that normally it would cause just the common cold, it's normally a very mild virus. It's the most common cause of the common cold, so it is unusual that we're seeing children get sicker than we'd expect. And really what we see is that children are just getting that much sicker, you know, they may be requiring things like BiPap to breathe.

4. Asuncion Mejias:

   Covid is a very proinflammatory virus, so it really weakens your immune response, and when you haven’t recovered yet, and you get a second hit, in this case, RSV or rhinovirus, you develop a more severe disease.
