If we all dig deep and for a moment forget that we are humans that like other people live in part denial, are we truly surprised by these results? It's a general question, because I have observed this in myself since the very beginningof the pandemic - e.g., in the beginning of it communicating that "maybe it isn't going to be so bad" because at the end of the day that's really what I wanted, but deep down my training was telling me I was a wishful idiot.

In context

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

I updated the Christmas Card figure on virological to include P.1. I'm also "done" messing with the new post/figure -Karthik offered no changes [but generated some interesting data on indels that'll be useful later on] and Bill Gallaher suggested several additions which I cut down - incorporating a few. Please let me know if there are any edits that are needed. This whole VoC situation is a rapidly changing mess. Probably be a dozen extra facts that should have been added in a few hours...

Not surprised it has happened, but surprised it has happened so quickly.

Bloody glad I live in Australia - NO community cases here yesterday and all the tennis players are locked up
