What a journey it has been! Thanks for writing the story behind the paper. A lot of what I know about how-to-science I learned by working with you all on this over multiple career stages.

The point is much broader than poliovirus and pocapavir: if we're trying to design therapeutics that exploit social interactions between viruses, we need to account for the effects of therapeutic success in diminishing those interactions.

Big picture: the feedback loop between viral density leading to social interaction, which leads to realized phenotype, which alters fitness, leading to new viral densities, should be considered when designing optimal treatments.
