   Any competent scientist that does not have a preconceived notion and takes more than a superficial look at the question will come to the same conclusion.

   Quick look - I'll look again in the office. Setting aside the phylogeography (of course) - the additional cleavage ispossible. CoVs likely have more than one "fusion" peptide. There is a cysteine bond following the D614G and priorto the FCS - inbetween is one of the aforementioned putative fusion peptides.
