Sorry for the confusion. Here is the link to my actual edits. I think I am making revisions in the wrong sandbox!

It is interesting that they mention that "alcohol-based sanitizers " can be used to fight against the virus. While they claim that hand washing is better than these sanitizers, it may be worth looking into if common hand sanitizers are at all effective. Because Norovirus is a naked virus, they may not be.

On the evolution of the virus...

The authors of this article are looking at viral strains from the LUCA perspective. They also mention that Norovirus has a higher mutation rate than most RNA viruses. How can sources accurately claim the evolutionary history of this virus?

Replication cycle: More information could be added about the details. For example, it should be known that Norovirus binds the HBGA receptor sites on human cells, and there are similar receptors on lettuce leaves...

Norovirus seems to have an affinity for lettuce, and it has been found inside of the lettuce mesophyll. This suggests that a simple rinsing of lettuce leaves may be insufficient to protect from all types of food-born illness as it relates to this crop.

Pathophysiology: only highlights U.S. statistics, but it would be good to look at global statistics to show the power of this virus if people are not able to properly hydrate themselves or access clean water. Or, because there are statistics from other countries in the "Epidemiology" section, eliminate these stats from this section and move them to the "epidemiology section"
