   @Kristian Andersen Agreed - some really strange things going on in that case report. Plus, unlike the HKU report, the US folks clearly don't understand sequencing very well - it's almost cute when they talk about the virus sequencing part ;)

   @Kristian Andersen Wrote a quick report on the HK phylogenetics for the UK gov people: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1gmK2rYN1qaZOF13y_KPInNexnFzY2njUraWWSLr8p4k/edit# But basically it is either real or a tube mix up with other samples from March.

   @Kristian Andersen Yup, I agree with that assessment. And again - we know that reinfections must occur, so this single case really doesn't tell us anything we didn't already know IMO (and my issue is then that it very well could bea mix-up - because formally showing that reinfections _do_ occur is obviously important. Only, we shouldn'textrapolate from that to concepts of population immunity and vaccines, etc...)
