Also I have always considered transcription to be DNA->RNA?

The old schoolers call the first round "replication" (generates the replicative intermediates). The second round they call "transcription"- generates the mRNAs.

Although with all the sub-genomic mRNAs being created in the second round perhaps it is worth distinguishing the actual production of the gRNA from mRNAs

@Robert Garry The 'second round' takes place in the ER so might be more likely to have lots of other templates toswitch too, I guess. But first round will be way more consequential as all progeny would have the insert and the spike proteins would have the FCS.

@Andrew Rambaut Agree - I don't like the terminology either - usually just say + to - or - to +. and for a positive virusof course as you say - to + can also be creating genomes so "replication" in my mind.

Yes indeed - lots of the accessory proteins are just so the replicative intermediates can associate with membrane.
