    Have you met C.1.2? Our newest addition to the variants list? It emerged in South Africa, & has so many mutations that it seems to be, "accelerated evolution in a single individual with prolonged viral infection through virus-host co-evolution."

    Is there any coronavirologist who thinks is no big deal & that we can be relaxed with high incidence & infection in children? It is a real question! I feel the more you study these viruses, the more careful you are vs. folks who never heard of CoVs before 2020

    Ebolavirus: Discovered in 1976, persistence in semen discovered only in 2014/215, Zikavirus: isolated in 1947, microcephaly discovered in 2015...many more such examples! Emerging viruses are full of surprise - how can some be so sure in kids is not a big deal?

    1: We have just posted a study suggesting there may be no real genomes that are transitional between lineages A and B. Arcane, right? But stick with me - this stuff is *absolutely* crucial to figuring out how the pandemic got started.

    When I was studying biology there was a mantra...Viruses must sacrifice fitness to take on genetic attributes for virulence or transmissibility. It was as if there were a rule about how many great gene sequences a virus could hold. "Well, that was sure wrong," said .

    Now tell us the concentration at which inhibits replication in cell culture and compare it to the concentration that is achievable in human plasma. I'll wait...

    Ivermectin is an inhibitor of the COVID-19 causative virus (SARS-CoV-2) in vitro. • A single treatment able to effect ~5000-fold reduction in virus at 48 h in cell culture. • Ivermectin is FDA-approved for parasitic infections, and therefore has a potential for repurposing.
