Alt1: ... that George Hirst invented a way to measure
virus-specific

influenza surveillance, over 70 years later?

virusgenomes could have multiple fragments?

Length, data, QPQ, and image rights check out. POV is balanced, not critical obviously, but serious. The article is well referenced with reliable sources. The first hook is the best, IMHO, but I rephrased it. (Who knows which was the "first" viral enzyme in pre-history? He was the first person to discover a viral enzyme.) Nice work!
