@Andrew Rambaut - do any of you have a read on what's going on in India? I see a lot of anecdotal 'data' of vaccinated people (doctors) getting infected, but I can't get a read on how reliable that data is. With the crop ofvaccines in India and B.1.617 I'm concerned, but I don't really know what to make of it - people are _much_ too quick to dismiss both the variant and breakthroughs though (with no data).

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

I am not sure I do know what is going on. The biggest rise we have seen in imports from India is in the B.1.617.2lineage (which has 484E). But this isn't much in the Indian sequencing. I assume that is because their sampling isreally skewed (probably geographically).

Yeah, there's a massive lack of sequencing in-country. We also picked up B.1.617.2 yesterday - I think a lot of travel cases with that one (and B.1.1.7 - but may skew towards 617)
2021-04-30 12:06 Kristian G. Andersen open

And more so than I'd expect.

yes - we are getting almost all B.1.617.2 in travel cases - I assume it is big in a city that is not covered by sampling but has lots of international travel (Mumbai?)
