Yup. We have seen Nelly a couple of times in the US too and never associated with increased transmission (although all of that might just be down to chance). It's very plausible that when Nelly is hanging with her friends she might be naughty, but not when she's alone...

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

(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

"Nelly is innocent" - we should start a campaign.

I wanna be sure before we declare her innocent though. Eeek and Pooh though... Fucking bastards.

Maybe together with Doug and Nelly they're up to no good.

I think Doug did it...or at least maybe started the process -that is of course after the FCS inserted itself.
