1. for starters, it's a random gdrive link not on medrxiv or biorxiv. why?
2. it's GPL3'd? Conventionally, we disseminate open access research as CC-BY 4.
3. the first author is who he says he is -- but he is a "managing partner" at blocktown capital not a practicing physician. [0]
4. The second author is a bioinformatics masters student who is also a lawyer and not obviously a practicing researcher. [1]
5. Figures 1 and 2 are presented without obvious attribution from https://virologyj.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1743-42..., which is not about SARS-CoV-2, but about the first SARS from 2002.
This isn't my field, but i am a biomedical researcher and i'm very used to reading the medical literature, and this read deeply strangely in a lot of ways that are hard to quantify. The language isn't what I'd expect for a research paper, but it's kind of written like it wants to be one. I'm not super clear on what's going on.
I have no reason to doubt the intentions of the authors, per se, but this work is super rough around the edges. It reads like a thrown-together collection of notes for a lab meeting, but not something I'd show off in public.
