Dr. Niman,
Is this from the new sequence from Sweden that was just released? If so, how was the D225G found in the nasopharyngeal sample, when it has been commented (I think by you) that D225G usually is found deep in the lungs and was not being found higher up in the respiratory tract. Does this mean that the mutated virus is moving higher up in the lungs? I am a little confused. Any clarification would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
