@NBA @StephenKissler @yhgrad B.1.1.7 reveals clearly that SARS-CoV-2 is reverting to its original pre-outbreak condition, i.e. adapted to transgenic hACE2 mice (either Baric's BALB/c ones or others used at WIV labs during chimeric bat coronavirus experiments aimed at developing a pan betacoronavirus vaccine)

@EricTopol @NBA @StephenKissler @yhgrad 1. From Day 1, SARS-COV-2 was very well adapted to humans .....and transgenic hACE2 Mice https://t.co/TNE4tuLkqN

@EricTopol @NBA @StephenKissler @yhgrad Mice!
A mink-associated variant carrying Δ(69-70)-Y453F-F486L-N501T-M1229I mutations was also able to utilize mouse Ace2. In addition, all variants carrying an N501Y mutation, a shared feature of UK, South Africa, & Brazil VOC strains, efficiently use mouse Ace2 orthologs.
@EricTopol @NBA @StephenKissler @yhgrad Topolino!
"Moreover, the K417N-E484K-N501Y mutations found in the South Africa variant 501Y.V2 even enable the virus to utilize rat Ace2 more efficiently than using human ACE2. These data suggest that rats and mice may (have) be(en) able to harbor and spread these variants"?

Circulating SARS-CoV-2 variants B.1.1.7, 501Y.V2, and P.1 have gained ability to utilize rat and mouse Ace2 and altered in vitro sensitivity to neutralizing antibodies and ACE2-Ig

Well worth a read!
@EricTopol @NBA @StephenKissler @yhgrad even the mink variants were mouse ACE2 adapted, what a surprise...now, who would have expected that?
@EricTopol @NBA @StephenKissler @yhgrad Serial passaging of virus in mouse lungs results in adaptive mutations that increase viral infectivity
MASCp6 genome contains 5 mutations compared to its parental strain IME-BJ05, resulting in four amino acid residue changes in the ORF1ab, S, and N genes, respectively (Fig. 3A)
@EricTopol @NBA @StephenKissler @yhgrad The N501Y mutation seems to provide a more favorable interaction with mouse ACE2 for docking and entry, thus leading to the increased virulence phenotype in mice.

The best morning routine?

Starts the night before.

9 evening habits that make all the difference:

1. Write down tomorrow's 3:3:3 plan

• 3 hours on your most important project
• 3 shorter tasks
• 3 maintenance activities

Defining a "productive day" is crucial.

Or else you'll never be at peace (even with excellent output).

2. End the workday with a shutdown ritual

Create a short shutdown ritual (hat-tip to Cal Newport). Close your laptop, plug in the charger, spend 2 minutes tidying your desk. Then say, "shutdown."

Separating your life and work is key.

3. Journal 1 beautiful life moment

Delicious tacos, presentation you crushed, a moment of inner peace. Write it down.

Gratitude programs a mindset of abundance.

4. Lay out clothes

Get exercise clothes ready for tomorrow. Upon waking up, jump rope for 2 mins. It will activate your mind + body.
