From Bette's paper "A two-sided Fisher's exact test compares the counts in the pre-onset period to the counts after the two-week delay period and provides a p- value against the null hypothesis that the fraction of D614 vs G614sequences did not change". Really? This got through peer review? @Eddie Holmes, I'm pretty darn sure you must have flagged this - that's not how that test works. Or is she just using this as an inclusion criteria?

In context

A single line often inverts meaning once you see what it answers, so neighbouring messages are always shown.

And counts are just numbers of sequences in gisaid?

Yes. Solid stuff.

I said the whole analysis was crap and needed to be redone. I never saw any response to this.

I submitted my review on June 12th (I only reviewed the revision). Given the speed of all this - and they wanted totake a look in 48 hours - it was clear that Cell were going to take it whatever I said. I've not looked at the paper - Ican't stand to - but I assume they've not made any of the revisions I suggested.
