And counts are just numbers of sequences in gisaid?

In context

    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?

    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.

    Okay, finally managed to read the full (updated) paper. The analyses are fucking crap and the statistics a completejoke. I'm really surprised this is going through - no way it passed the Eddie smell test
