2022 has brought new #Covid narrative -
1 #Virus getting weaker
2 #Vaccine situation fine as is
3 We don't need #publichealth measures any more
Really?
Some of my colleagues from academia, @WHO & @ApiJectCorp worked to put together this 🧵

Ummmm... yess but like no
See @nationalpost here's the poignant salient thing...
That much fuel should never be congregated in any setting. In any densely populated setting near critical infrastructure.
@OPSChiefSloly can request that support ready LilyPads...
Here's why?

Leaders lead...
Technically a metric that needs to be thoroughly calculated is... how many litres are "pooled" in the most densley parked areas.
Or newly formed illegal wooden structures. Ottawa is essentially a powder keg... that cannot be ignored

See the aim of this thread is to acknowledge system(s) of governance, are proximal & not independent of. Our confederation is & always has been "decentralized"

Briefing by the Minister of Health, Dr Joe Phaahla and other experts taking place right now where information on the new #COVID19 variant is being shared.

1/1 Let's target #SmartLockdown to address *unavoidable* contact patterns of the precarious #keyWorkers who carry most risk with #SupportToIsolate strategies. #tier4 #lockdown #ThinkLikeAModellerStingLikeABee. Here's why. jackiecassell.com/time-to-suppor… 
2/3 #EssentialWorker jobs, overcrowded #housing, shared #transport, #unpaidcare roles, lack of money - these are major *mechanisms* of transmission, not just statistical associations. See jackiecassell.com/time-to-suppor… & @FinancialTimes #smartlockdown #tier4 #lockdownuk
3/3 This @PHE report says it all. Even before #newvariant effect, we knew it's the people who are out there working who carry our #Covid19 risk. We need a #SmartLockdown that supports every #Essentialworker to #SelfIsolate #tier4 #lockdown gov.uk/government/pub…
There are many, many #SARSCoV2 #COVID19 variants out there! A few have caught the attention of scientists in Europe - we're trying to monitor them!

This site includes a bit about what we know about specific mutations/clusters, including counts of sequences, some graphs, and links to dedicated @nextstrain runs (maintained by @richardneher Lab & myself) focused on each mutation

You can also check out graphs of the prevalence of the clusters in various countries:

As far as I know, the #SARSCoV2 variant identified by Hancock today is defined by a spike mutation at position 501 N->Y & a double-deletion at positions 69/70.
You can see it in orange in the dedicated Neher Lab S:N501 @nextstrain build below

I do not have more information about why scientists in the UK believe this variant may have increased transmission.
However, it does appear the proportion of UK sequences containing S:N501 mutations has increased recently (sorry, hard to see)

This build is from last week (I'll try to update soon), but from this information, it seems like this particular variant has so far only been detected in the UK and Denmark. However, we may simply not have samples from other countries.
