Sucks we don't know by now - I have a feeling deep in my veins that someone should set up some better sequencing infrastructure in Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia.

In context

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

Previously highly successful countries are taking off like crazy - Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, and Fiji, so I'm wondering if that's linked to B.1.617.2 in any way.

Not yet. Nothing on GISAID. In no particular order of likeliness: B117 with some additional mutations, B16172 with some additional mutations (Nelly?), a contaminated sequencing, mixed infection, recombination

Yeah, I don't really give much for the "recombination" aspect of this - but was wondering if this is B.1.617.2. Probablyis.
