Farming the mink, raccoon dogs, etc, etc, etc - so many opportunities for spillover. Follow the animals...

In context

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

Atlantic article - could have been worse - at least no mention of GVP.

I agree, Kristian, with Pooh being involved in the transmissibility - have thought it from the beginning - too much of acoincidence that B.1.1.7 had a FCS mutation (back when it was very rare). Now with all the other 681 mutations coming up (and 677 possibly). Certainly looks like B.1.351 is not as transmissible as B.1.1.7 and probably not P.1 either - they have not invadedinto new areas in the same way. We are looking at whether the FCS mutations are cropping up / spreading inpopulations with moderate NPI (i.e., like the English November lock-down where schools were still open etc). Total lock down clearly works against B.1.1.7 as much as any and it is possible that no-NPI doesn't really benefit B.1.1.7because it has a shorter (but stronger and earlier) infectious period.

PooH or PooR both bad - would be very surprised if both don't enhance cleavage R>H probably.
