But I guess the point is it is the dominant form and will remain so.

The UK has been playing hard and loose with viruses in the past, so I wouldn't be surprised if we'd see challenge trials from them. IMO, this virus is much too dangerous with too many uncertain long-term effects to deliberately infect people - especially given the HUGE number of cases we have in this country.

Yeah, everything is basically D614G by now, so that's kinda the virus we need to make sure the vaccine works against - but I'm not really concerned there's a difference between Doug and Dougless here.

I agree that it is probably unnecessary - just try the vaccine.

I'm _super_ worried about Moderna... Just not convinced that thing is safe.

Basically for Moderna they are immunizing/placeboing 30,000 people then sending them out to see how many get infected.
