Agree. No comparative rates for RSA. It is just fast growing.
-
Although... there is a Finnish import of the RSA variant that has 681H.

(convergence to the same set of mutations)

Didn't they mention a couple of months ago that they had a really fast moving lineage that didn't lead to symptoms? I'm wondering if any of that might actually be true - not really "fast" moving, but expanding rapidly and if in a lot ofpeople with previously immunity, maybe leading to less symptoms. That wouldn't be too bad.

"They" being RSA

(oh - wait, maybe that was Australia... Somewhere South :wink: )

So just to conclude to see if I got this right: • One lineage rapidly expanding because it's inherently more transmissible - B.1.1.7. • Several other independent lineages - carrying mutations at 417 and 484 - expanding rapidly in areas of high standing immunity, probably due to escape. Possibly, Nelly is innocent - at least partially and she probably isn't alone responsible for the expansion of both theUK and RSA lineages.
-
B.1.1.7 might also have an 'immunity' phenotype in addition to the transmission phenotype. We'll know soon enough.

And Nelly on its own (in Wales) is not doing that much
