There is a typo in my affiliation location: it should read "Richmond, VA" not "Richmond, CA".
I am happy to collect and comments and post them if you still cannot access, Jacob.

Dear Jacob and all,
Please find the proof attached.
There are issue that needs attention,
for e.g. Jonathan’s name is missing from the authors list.
Quick corrections from my side:
My last name: Malik-Sheriff
Citation: Malik-Sheriff RS
In the acknowledgement, please change RS -> Rahuman S. Malik Sheriff, to keep it consistent as you have it for Jonathan Karr.
I will read the proof carefully again and report if I find any typos or so. Others can do that too.
Best regards
Sheriff

Hi Marcella,
The link you sent brings back my own loop profile - not the article - I tried multiple times - and I did not get such correspondence myself. So I am confused as well.
If the intention is to update your loop profile, I did this just now.
Hopefully this was the request from the publisher. If you see some other proof document, please provide additional details so we can all respond properly.
Jacob

James - correct me if I am wrong - since if you plan to report this paper in the summary reports for those grants, we must include those grants in the paper which will mean you used taxpayer funds towards this work. So far I am leaving those out since it seems unlikely that multiple grants supported this work and you withdrew your request after my query.

I hope my analysis above is correct and there are no more last minute changes - we had over a year to put those changes in and had multiple approval rounds - hopefully we are really done with this paper and can move forward to other endeavors.

> James and Wiliam, I am not sure how many more revisions there will be for this publication. I did not add several important references of my own in this revision. Frankly I wanted to keep reference changes to a minimum and kept it as close as possible to the origin . However, we are transferring the paper to the publisher under CC license, so it will not be hard to create another derived version with all sorts of additions and modifications in the future where people can edit it as they see fit and add whatever references they want - so after it gets published you can continue working on other versions as you see fit. For now I ask we focus on publishing this version alone and I really hope the editors will not put us through another revision round since it makes no sense at this point - any change is not substantial compared to what we have already and any delay is more damaging than productive.

APPROVE will add your name to the list of authors with all responsibilities and privileges listed or implied , ABSTAIN will put you in acknowledgements without any obligation. So John, please choose if you want your name on the paper or not in this specific version - any decision you make will be ok.

There is no problem in my opinion citing preprints but it is suspect in this case: there's been a ton of work on SARS-CoV-2 infectiousness, why didn't this get published? Probably not best to rely on it as an example of practice. Perhaps to fix on revision.
