[2020-12-17 05:33:19] [Andrew Rambaut] But it was back at the end of November. Could this have taken off? [2020-12-17 05:34:04] [Andrew Rambaut] Actually I am guessing not - there are lots of new NSW genomes in GISAID and they are not N501Y [2020-12-17 05:34:10] [Andrew Rambaut] Stand down. [2020-12-17 07:09:12] [Robert Garry] Hmmm...https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.12.12.422516v1 - this is pretty out there, but these ppl are pretty solid... [2020-12-17 07:22:23] [Andrew Rambaut] That is being pulled apart on Twitter... [2020-12-17 07:44:37] [Robert Garry] It's pretty bad actually - disappointing - however, it does have a good collection of SC2 "reactivation" references that might be useful. [2020-12-17 12:50:36] [Eddie Holmes] [thread - ID: 2020-12-17 05:32:32] @Andrew Rambaut Nothing to do with me. But I know who it is and can find out more. [2020-12-17 12:53:03] [Andrew Rambaut] [thread - ID: 2020-12-17 05:32:32] @Andrew Rambaut Leave it for now. I don't think it is our lineage
