LjL | de-facto, from your link... i only skimmed, but | 00:18 |
LjL | "Even accounting for this expected increase in detection power, it is evident that a significant qualitative shift in selective pressures occurred ~11 months after SARS-CoV-2 cases were first reported in Wuhan city in December 2019. Specifically, during November 2020 this shift manifested in substantial increases in the numbers of SARS-CoV-2 codon sites that were detectably evolving under both positive and negative selection. This increase accelerated | 00:18 |
LjL | through January 2021" | 00:18 |
LjL | do they make any hypotheses as to why there is this non-expected shift in selective pressures at a sudden point? | 00:18 |
LjL | skipping down to the conclusion they basically just say again, there is, we see it | 00:18 |
LjL | without alternative explanations i kinda want to go down the tinfoil rabbit hole of AZ trials having caused the mutations again *looks at DocScrutinizer05* | 00:19 |

de-facto | They dont state a reason, they only describe their observations and conclude "We find evidence that the emergence of the 501Y lineages coincided with a marked global change in the selective environment within which SARS-CoV-2 is evolving." | 01:43 |
de-facto | they dont speculate about the nature of the positive or negative selective pressure, but rather focus on the convergent mutations | 01:46 |
de-facto | there probably is even more information in their data and graphs as they mention in the text, imho a very interesting first analysis on where we might be heading with all those mutations | 01:48 |
