@Robert Garry Ooh. Missed that.

In context

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

Any thought if it would likely be an immunecompromised patient - could a weak immune response enhance selection for escape? Or do we know of any asymptomatic shedders - which would allow for the transmission if the person was out and about?

@Robert Garry It's the insertion P in PRRA

@Robert Garry Would be surprising if it didn't affect cleavage...

It's a little weird in that respect - the patient above essentially has no - or very limited - humoral immunity, but thesignatures still look like immune escape - or maybe something else is going on. So yes, even immunecompromisedpatients can shed viruses that may have signatures of immune escape.

@Robert Garry That's the one I'd be concerned about.

@Robert Garry Oh, interesting. It's rare - but parallel evolution? [shared file(s): Screen Shot 2020-12-14 at 10.16.54.png]

@Robert Garry P > H still have FCS, but affects glycans and likely regulation?

Can you send a link to that nextstrain view?
