A plot of Covid19 varieties.
I found this web side fascinating. An open-source project that “aims to provide a real-time snapshot of evolving pathogen populations and to provide interactive data visualizations to virologists, epidemiologists, public health officials and citizen scientists”.
- This shows the evolution of the virus.
- The coloured dots are reported genomes since June 14. The grey lines are previous history.
- The large blue dots are Victoria. The small darker blue ones are NSW.
- Note first that Victorian cases are not all on the same branch, disproving the theory that they all came from the same hotel quarantine case. If they all came from hotels, then there were multiple escapes.
- Note also the NSW cases are well spread, and not all on branches that contain Victorian cases. Evidence against "Victorians brought it in"
