Original Note:
Andy made an error here in referring to mutations in ACE2. The virus does not have ACE2 (angiotensin converting enzyme); that’s the human protein that the virus binds to. He’s referring to mutations in the ACE2 receptor-binding domain (RBD) here. https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/omicron-keep-calm-and-carry-on-vaccinating/2021/11/27/ee5da4a0-4f86-11ec-a7b8-9ed28bf23929_story.html
