Oh, and if you have XMRV, you are actually probably sicker and in poorer than you feel, which for most of us is saying a lot.
Thats the good news. The bad news if that she apparently does not intend to soft pedal the transmissible nature of XMRV, and stated that it is probably a lot easier to spread around than the aids virus because it is found in saliva.

question: what is UOP and VO2?
Oh, and the German Study. They were using an old test and not looking at the correct tissues to find XMRV (lymphocytes), so they never found any virus. That study will probably get repeated.
Danny,
Right, she knows that, but the context was the apparent spread of the disease in various locations surrounding documented outbreaks like Incline Village or N.C. These outbreaks have resulted in apparent "hot spots" that have a higher incidence of background asymptomatic XMRV in the general population.
She said, "the patients compounded the controls" in these areas particularly Reno, so controls where selected from areas as far away as Maryland, which has a low incidence of XMRV. So she was considering the epidemiology of XMRV when she said that. Follow up studies by epidemiologists will be fascinating.
Danny,
other than that Maryland is apparently pretty clean
