I just don't get how BioEssays took this shite.

I love their discussion of the furin site - "This furin cleavage site, *which is poly or multibasic by definition since itscomposed of multiple basic amino acids*". Smart people, them."In addition to the inexplicable genetic distance from its sister strains, which screams out for an intermediate relativeto complete the phylogenetic picture, SARSnCoVn2 [...]".Fuck it, I'm going to use that in one of my upcoming publications too - the tree SCREAMS out for an intermediate relative!!!
