Higher? Interesting.

I’d think lower death rate would mean lower affinity.

But it is a complex question that involves more just binding affinity.

True.

If it were just one insertion in the spike protein I’d be less likely to believe it weren’t natural.

2 insertions, still...but spidey sense activated...

3, now you’re cooking with gas...

4?!. odds are teeny.

combined with the fact that wuhan has a bl4 lab?

ya. like my kiddo telling me once she had no idea what happened to the chocolate chips...while covered with chocolate.

We can not trust the death rate published.

No.

Polymorphism so like this are normal.

Compare any proteins and this sort of thing crops up.

Most are silent.

Are you considering recombination in a lab could account for it?

4 places at once?

rilly?

and all make for a gain of function mutant?

With all this other HIV stuff I’m wondering if these insertions give any sort of cross binding reactivity.

Well, there has to be a bit of gallows humor...and that one is spot-on!

That said, this really is no laughing matter - I hope and pray for the spread to be stopped ASAP, and for everyone infected to be cured quickly...even as I know that such will not be happening.
