@Kristian Andersen Need to work out where on this tree the VOCy mutations arise

@Kristian Andersen But very 'Egypty' over all

@Kristian Andersen Oh, yeah, that does look very "Egypty". https://outbreak.info/situation-reports?pango=C.36

@Kristian Andersen The blue clade has Spike L452R, Spike Q677H, Spike S12F and the green clade has some extras plus the 69/70 deletion [shared file(s): image.png]

@Kristian Andersen Ah, okay - so not all _that_ mutationally 'saturated'. That's a pretty big clade though - and Ididn't quite realize how many mutations pop up in ORF1ab, although that's of course a very big gene.

I started to write another email to Bonin pointing out the fact-free bullshit. We'll see where this goes - I'm thinking that Eddie is albsolutely right about the pulled punches. We should take some of the worthy facts out of the report and write a punched up PO2 - just the facts - by that I mean the science.
