I'm looking forward to reading _that_ story! Will it contain a family tree of how you nerds all relate to each other? I for the life of me can't figure it out. [2021-02-04 16:48:01] [Eddie Holmes] There does need to be a nerdology. [2021-02-04 16:48:33] [Kristian Andersen] Make it happen. The world needs this. [2021-02-04 17:00:11] [Eddie Holmes] On it. [2021-02-04 17:23:04] [Eddie Holmes] Actually, I think B.1.1.4 has EriK as default. [2021-02-04 17:35:30] [Kristian Andersen] Unrelated, but related - can I just say, I'm very happy to see "ivar" in that sequence name... :blush: [2021-02-04 17:41:07] [Eddie Holmes] Just for you! The public health people want to if a lineage carrying Erik alone is the cause for concern. In this case I would say no because I think this lineage has been around since 2020-03-23 according to Pangolin. Thoughts? [2021-02-04 17:42:09] [Eddie Holmes] VOC cases are currently subjected to different quarantine procedures in Australia. So, your answer will dictate the quality of uber eats he/she will get. [2021-02-04 17:43:44] [Eddie Holmes] B.1.1.4 is not increasing in frequency that I can see. [2021-02-04 17:44:18] [Kristian Andersen] All SARS-CoV-2 viruses are of concern, the ones containing Erik, a little more so. But yeah - I'm not sure it does all that much by itself and I wouldn't really do anything differently because it's that one. [2021-02-04 17:44:49] [Eddie Holmes] Thanks, that's what I think. [2021-02-04 17:51:37] [Kristian Andersen] [and then Australia had a huge SARS-CoV-2 epidemic because academics didn't take the new variants seriously]. :eyes: [2021-02-04 17:53:42] [Kristian Andersen] Btw. This (hopefully) going online in a couple of days - submitted earlier today. Bob, NOLA study hopefully submitted tomorrow! [shared file(s): medRxiv.pdf]
