You could at least say they should contact CoG to collaborate

    There are some intermediates but we believe they are sequences of mixtures (we can look at the BAM files - they are all one ENA unlike the Wuhan genomes)

    I think they have found some dodgy sequence. Jotun Hein also sent us a preprint which claimed to have discovereda recombinant but when we looked, the negative control for that plate was hooching with reads.

    Our job is not to review. I only reject if it is dangerous/malicious/nutso.

    Accept it then - won't hurt anyone

    Yes, that's my inclination. Hopefully people will just shit on it quickly.
