B.1.1.4 is not increasing in frequency that I can see.

In context

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

Actually, I think B.1.1.4 has EriK as default.

Unrelated, but related - can I just say, I'm very happy to see "ivar" in that sequence name... :blush:

Just for you! The public health people want to if a lineage carrying Erik alone is the cause for concern. In this case Iwould say no because I think this lineage has been around since 2020-03-23 according to Pangolin. Thoughts?

VOC cases are currently subjected to different quarantine procedures in Australia. So, your answer will dictate the quality of uber eats he/she will get.

All SARS-CoV-2 viruses are of concern, the ones containing Erik, a little more so. But yeah - I'm not sure it does all that much by itself and I wouldn't really do anything differently because it's that one.

Thanks, that's what I think.
