The interesting thing is the new lineage has started to take off in South Wales (who have an amazing surveillance and sequencing team). South Wales already has (a growing) lineage of N501Y so it will be interesting to see how the new lineage competes.

In context

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

Andrew any neut data on that UK lineage? I wouldn't be surprised if this thing is highly resistant. Would also beinteresting to map epitopes from people infected with this lineage vs earlier lineages.A lot of concern at the state/county level about these reports, so please keep us posted.

Obviously a massive effort to look at this with Wendy Barclay leading it. Also to pull out reinfections.

Also it seems curious how N501Y has suddenly come up 3 times independently this Autumn (the other one being in South Africa).
