    It's also in that ABC Australian podcast I did the other the day. But you can have it - I'm not 100% convinced yet. I'm not sure why evolution in individual chronic hosts will lead to convergent evolution for increased transmissibility atthe population scale. A few years ago we did a norovirus modelling study that said this sort of thing was unlikely, but that could easily be bollocks. https://academic.oup.com/ve/article/3/2/vex018/4055728

    There is no evidence that there is increased transmissibility in either the Brazilian or South African strain.

    It is clearly fit in the populations it is spreading in.
