      • budding takes place not at the plasma membrane
    • Pandemic potentail
      • eco destruction
      • genetic diversity
      • interspecies transmission
    • Pathogenesis
      • infect respiritory hair cells
      • spikes bind and unravel inserting itself into the membrane allowing fusion
        • sugars make spike proteins less detectable
      • Knot in RNA = allows for less RNA reg proteins vs non structural
      • ribosome starts translation of non structural proteins ( chain cut)
      • viral RNA replicated + nucleocapsid proteins package it
      • once spike preotins made, the nucloecapsid packaged RNA causes membrane to bud off
        • membrane compartment fuses with membrane and virus relasesd
      • causes inflammation and immune injury
