@TheIDApprentice Agreed! @VirusesImmunity is a brilliant scientist and viral immunologist. Dr. Iwasaki doesn't know it yet but she's one of my role models 💯

[MicrobeTV @profvrr]

If you want information on the UK #SARSCoV2 variant, do not turn to mainstream news, try GISAID https://t.co/7OQFfhKEeb their summary: "As seen on many occasions before, mutations are naturally expected for viruses and are most often simply neutral regional markers"
