OK. Peeps. We are definitely considering the human->animal->human origins of Nu (as it may or may not be called).

In context

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

    We are currently looking for the closest potentially basal genome in humans but at the moment it definitely looks like being 2020. I am struggling to see how a that could be a chronic infection followed by transmission. I doubt an HIV patient would survive that long with a CoV infection doing all this shit.

    A non-human host would also explain adaptation in the RBD to a different ACE-2? It may have antigenic consequences in humans but that is coincidental because it is the RBD

    CHeck out the figure in the other channel - 7-of 7 mutations seen in rodents are in Nu - that's unlikely....
