   I guess Bette's paper is landing tomorrow in Cell...? @Andrew Rambaut - any new insights on Doug vs Dougless from the UK cohort?

   Yeah. We are just writing it up. We get a marginal signal for higher growth rate in Doug lineages over Dougless but itis a struggle. It is really not clear there is much in it (in terms of transmissibility).

   Okay, thanks. So it might be true that G _may_ be marginally more transmissible than D but that there is not a major effect? Would make sense given some of the hypotheses about how this mutation increases infectivity.

   How do you know Bette's paper is coming out?

   Jim + Ben from NYT asked me over the weekend - I think Marc may be commenting on it (I didn't have time to read it...).
