    Interesting A lineage franken variant we just picked up in Jordan - travel associated case from Sudan. Interesting evolutionary stuff going on on the African continent... [shared file(s): Screen Shot 2021-05-04 at 10.51.46.png]

    I think there is a long hidden history which accounts for most of the ORF1ab changes

    "Interesting evolutionary stuff going on on the African continent..." Yes indeed - "interesting evolutionary stuff," "long hidden history," low case loads in SubSaharan Africa, possible large pool of pre-existing (cross-reactive) immunity. Definitely need to sort out what is going on in Africa....
