A key piece of the #COVID19 #SARSCoV2 origin puzzle emerges: where did the virus's unusual spike protein RBD—the receptor-binding domain that engages human ACE2 protein and allows the virus to

I'm afraid this is a naive view on the virulence / transmissibility tradeoff in pathogens. A reduction in virulence is only expected to happen in strictly vertically transmitted pathogens (e.g.

There have been claims that #COVID19 has acquired mutations leading to more transmissible strains. We formally tested whether this was the case using 15,000 #SARSCoV2 genomes from all over the
