    @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).

    Just building a tree now. Initial tree of one sequence shows it is from Denmark: [shared file(s): image.png]

    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).
