Jesse's work is incredible. I had a quick look last night and it shows that there's still room for improvement in termsof better binding. Binding isn't everything though, so I wouldn't conclude it's "not as evolved" as previously thought -the binding is still very very strong (but.... so is the pangolin CoV, of course!).

@Andrew Rambaut have you had a look at the Beijing genomes? I haven't had a chance yet, but that looks like more diversity than expected? I have a hard time believing it has been circulating undetected for quite a while inBeijing, so could it be a virus than went human > animal > human? Clearly not a separate introduction, but it's again linked to a wet market so I'm wondering if it can bounce back and forth (surely this is possible based on e.g.the Dutch mink farms).

Clearly this is from the UK! Denmark is innocent.

I actually think that list is quite amusing. I wonder which of those Beijing is going to blaim?

Well, salmon exports from Faroe Islands to China went from 100% to 0% over the weekend. Faroe Islands = Denmark + your proof. There you go. Faroe Islands.

(I'd personally blame Texas though - clearly ancestral on the tree).
