TWiV 648: Life is for learning

Daniel Griffin provides a clinical report on COVID-19 in TWiV 648, followed by a review of the findings that children shed as much SARS-CoV-2 viral RNA from the respiratory tract as older patients, the lineage giving rise to SARS-CoV-2 has been circulating in bats in China for decades, and answers to listener questions.

For me, the SARS-CoV-2 lineage paper is the standout piece of science in this episode. Some really solid evolutionary virology.
