This one is a corker. I noticed it because MaRNAV-1 is my Plasmodium narnavirus of which I am very proud. No need to read beyond the 3rd paragraph of the Abstract: [shared file(s): Mehta2020.pdf]

In context

A single line often inverts meaning once you see what it answers, so neighbouring messages are always shown.

I don't follow - "The mutation Spike D614G is of urgent concern". Frankly, my concern over the virus has not really changed one jot over this mutation. D614 was associated with a huge epidemic in China that was only controlled through a severe lockdown and don't see any difference in G614.

Yes. It is bollocks. Looking at the Sheffield clinical data too - very weak. We are preparing a rebuttal based on theUK data. This paper will be going to Science I would imagine. Would be good to rebut it before review.
