This isn't strictly accurate: https://blogs.sciencemag.org/pipeline/archives/2020/05/07/mutations-in-the-coronavirus-spike-protein (yeah, I know they cite a pre-print, but this one looks fairly solid.) Ah, I forgot about this, you're right. I think when I initially read about D614G elsewhere last week I misinterpreted it as an early mutation that likely mixed around the globe already because of selective pressure to better bind with ACE2, but that it would mean nothing for antibody binding. So yeah, this thread from Trevor Bedford is probably the best summation of the situation around it: https://twitter.com/trvrb/status/1257825352660877313 --- Essy <cite>Esuriat posted [p:939242907] in Coronaviru...
