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

In context

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

    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...

    "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.

    Let's call that initial event Furio

    Furio > Hugo > Doug > Nelly > Eeek, Pooh. I see a pattern emerging.

    I don't think we have any info from previous immunocompromised cases (noros, flu) for such large-scale convergent evolution. Indeed, while I can see immunocompromised cases leading to lots of mutations, lots of the SAME mutations appearing multiple times does smell of very strong and directed selection.
