@Andrew Rambaut Agreed. Seems the 2 NSW cases are likely from different families as they have different surnames. Also, they are not in the community here. We have a new outbreak in NSW which we think is linked to flight crew and that is lineage B.1. Phew.

In context

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

I guess they could be seeing an increase in hospitalisation of young and then sequencing those ones.

I thought you should know that we call the N501Y mutation 'Nelly' (under the Doug naming scheme) and thus the new UK lineage is now being referred to internally as 'the elephant'.

@Andrew Rambaut Given Australia sequences everything and Denmark has gone from bottom to 4th place in the sequencing league it seems that the new variant must be in many other countries now.
