Great paper investigating the infamous D614G coronavirus mutation in the lab. Clearly shows G614 better at infecting human cells in a dish, as well as hamsters. A couple of thoughts

So much misinformation and confusion about the circulating #SARSCoV2 variants in India. Leaving aside that the names are scientifically inaccurate, #B1618 ("Bengal variant") is NOT the #tripleMutant. I will try
