[2021-05-05 10:25:55] [Robert Garry] May be better to just revert to using your HP-87. Probably good to go for another 30-40 years at least.

3 mutations at positions 18060, 8782, and 28144, as discussed in the main text. In this mutation graph, COI for each variant is shown next to the arrow. [2021-05-05 10:27:51] [Robert Garry] Lineage A? [2021-05-05 10:33:47] [Kristian Andersen] No, B. I'm perplexed by that paper - didn't read it in detail, but I don't think they can really do what they do. So many reversions observed during the pandemic and associated dates and biases in sequencing early on likely majorly bias interpretation. @Andrew Rambaut, did you get a chance to read it? [2021-05-05 10:37:07] [Andrew Rambaut] I couldn't face it. I would just get annoyed [2021-05-05 10:42:23] [Kristian Andersen] Agreed. It's a very interesting question, but exceptionally hard to answer - working on some very early attempts with Joel + Marc. [2021-05-05 12:13:29] [Kristian Andersen] Wait, I think the "ProCov" is an A lineage - false classification on my end... That said, I'm not sure I trust the sequence at all - it's basically WA1 with a couple of additional (random?) mutations and then, mysteriously, quite a number of indels. :man-shrugging: [2021-05-05 14:19:12] [Kristian Andersen] This should be interesting [shared file(s): upcoming letter] [2021-05-05 14:29:24] [Eddie Holmes] Would definitely be interesting to see it. Don't like the passive aggressive bit about the UK papers breaking the embargo. [2021-05-05 14:32:05] [Kristian Andersen]
