Original Note:
The K18-hACE2 mice used in this study are highly susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 and have a 100% mortality rate when infected with the wild-type virus. While the chimeric virus resulted in an 80% mortality rate, these numbers do not translate to real-world outcomes. https://doi.org/10.1101/2022.10.13.512134 https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-022-04442-5 https://twitter.com/mbeisen/status/1582089949242740736
