Cells under viral attack tend to shed them. Too many of them in the blood can thus be asignal of viral infection. In that case 39 the CDR makes perfect sense.

The Scottish instructor—one of threeBritons employed in the Yemeni school system—was drilling the class in the difference between the “present simple”and the “present continuous”.
