    Ahhh yes - the Queen Victoria hotel is pretty special and you can take a side trip to the Ziika forest. Curious about Pooh, showing up in NIgeria (Christian Happi) and now Poor in Uganda. Not that many sequences from Africa, Something usual in Africans going on which I suspect relates to prior exposure to some yet uncharacterizedbetacornaviruses.

    Lot of immunosuppressed Africans, HIV and other causes, as well. So having the P681 changes may fit that meme.

    Eaak and Pooh are the ones that worry me the most. I think we're in for a wild ride

    I am trying to decide if this is a 'phase-change' in the evolution of the virus (i.e., driven by standing immunity) or is itjust that now there are simple enough cases that these combinations (of previously individual mutations) are startingto appear together and so the synergies are apparent.
