They just dumped a whole lot of human data on GISAID but it is all from Apr/May not sure why they did that

    Thanks Andrew - yeah, I noticed Y453F was found in NL as well. Is it public knowledge that these are the four mutations, or is that WHO confidential for now? I have a TON of DK reporters asking about this, but haven't found anything official.

    For this mink stuff - I could totally see selection in mink driving things like immune escape. Presumably selection for transmission (including longer infectious period) is high given that they're caged up.

    Confidential but everyone is going bonkers at Denmark for not giving out any details.

    So ridiculous - they have been sitting on a ton of mink+human sequencing data for months and nothing released. I'll call them out to a couple of journalists
