Andy Hunter decided something needed to be done about the endless rise of Amazon in 2018—the year that the e-commerce giant surpassed 50% of book sales in the U.S. market. “I was concerned at that rate of growth,” says founder and CEO of Bookshop.org.

Viry jsou neustále před námi. Rychle se vyvíjejí a hned reagují na každý náš tah. Týká se to i očkování proti ptačí chřipce. V zemích, kde očkují drůbež ve velkém, jako je třeba Čína, prodělávají viry rychlejší evoluci. Tam, kde neočkují, je zase více infekcí. O to víc platí, že musíme viry závažných infekcí neustále monitorovat, i když máme k dispozici vakcínu. http://www.osel.cz/13885-viry-vzdoruji-ockovani-proti-ptaci-chripce-zrejme-pohani-evoluci-prislusneho-viru.html
