matches the table better as it has stall 29 as the 5 pcr positive stall - stall 29 would thus be the back room of the shop that is in Eddie's pic that clearly is labeled stall 28 and 30 in the pic that babar posted.

We discussed the usage of KDEs with Marc a few weeks back and he was okay with it - but I'm not sure we gave him a fair chance to think hard about it. Should you and I maybe have a chat with Mike this weekend to discuss? I think the two stories should go together since having one paper that absolutely nails it is a lot better than have two that kinda nail it. [2021-12-03 09:14:09] [Andrew Rambaut] I agree with keeping them together ideally. And yes - good to have a call. [2021-12-03 09:16:27] [Kristian Andersen] Lemme ping Mike. [2021-12-03 13:08:26] [Eddie Holmes] Great if you can chat with Miike @Kristian Andersen We can't screw this up. [2021-12-03 13:10:27] [Kristian Andersen] Chatting now [2021-12-12 16:28:33] [Robert Garry] WE have about a 100 cases of Omicron on the undergrad campus - they are sending everyone not infected yet home... [2021-12-12 16:36:30] [Kristian Andersen] Lovely jubbly. I'm sure that'll stop it. We seem to be seeing very rapid growth here in San Diego too - unsurprising, of course, but as soon as we had detected that first one, :chart_with_upwards_trend: [2021-12-12 17:11:24] [Kristian Andersen] Although I have not dug into this in detail myself, I'm fairly certain Bill got this wrong - because, convergent evolution. https://virological.org/t/omicron-is-a-multiply-recombinant-set-of-variants-that-have-evolved-over-many-months/775 [2021-12-12 22:41:09] [Andrew Rambaut] Yes - I don't think this is right. [2021-12-12 22:43:31] [Andrew Rambaut] We looked and didn't see any obvious indications of recombination but Bill is very perceptive so possibly needs re-looking at. However, we know these mutations re-occur all the time.
