[2021-03-26 10:59:20] [Kristian Andersen] @Andrew Rambaut - have you guys looked into this new variant some more? I don't understand all the mutations in ORF1ab - it seems very peculiar. Limited overlap with previous variants too. [2021-03-26 11:36:52] [Andrew Rambaut] Recombinant? [2021-03-26 11:37:18] [Andrew Rambaut] Will take a look later [2021-03-26 11:55:26] [Kristian Andersen] Possibly, but many/most(?) of these mutations appear to be rare point mutations. It's a real franken lineage - very interesting. [2021-03-26 12:28:21] [Kristian Andersen] I love our bluegrass playing Texas friend.

Whelp. [2021-03-26 13:42:17] [Kristian Andersen] The news has really latched onto the "it's so well adapted to humans" bit. It's so mind numbingly dumb my head hurts. [2021-03-26 13:43:58] [Eddie Holmes] People just need to think it through
