D614G is pretty much a dead giveaway...

    I'm sure Chairman Xi will welcome this paper with open arms.

    It was sent to me by someone who was reviewing it for advice and I said it was almost certainly just contamination from the major Italian wave...notable that they are getting the sequences from the patients that are PCR negative.

    Why are they saying it came from Wuhan? Why not an Italian lab escape? Bonkers

    Yes, I love the way it goes from Wuhan and then to Italy :zany_face: For the rooting thing, I think it just needs one statement given that we have the 2 lineages x 2 markets story. It doesn't need to be definitive but just to say it iscomplex.

    Argentinian, I believe, but basically the same, so definitely. Just connecting dots here.
