SARS-CoV-2 Was Waving A White Flag By June 2020. Since the onset of the Great Insanity we have been following the COVID-19 mortality rate and total deaths on a daily basis, as mortality rate is ultimately the best measure of infectivity, i.e. the damage to human health that a pathogen can cause. For an explanation […]

What Makes SARS-CoV-2 More Infectious.

The Role Of The RBM:ACE2 Interface. A little over a year ago, we set out how increased infectiousness meant greater vulnerability, i.e. a new variant may be more infectious but it is also more susceptible to destruction by the innate immune response. The chances are that most people now know what a structural spike protein […]

How Each Of Us Causes Every Variant.

The Four Nucleobases. Almost exactly twelve months ago, we explained how increased transmissibility also meant greater vulnerability, i.e. a new variant may be more infectious but it is also more susceptible to detection by the immune system. This was first evidenced by our study of SARS-CoV-2-SG614, also one year ago now. Despite there being virtually […]
