We previously analysed recurrent #SARSCoV2 mutations for an association with increased transmission using ~47k genomes. At the time, we found no evidence for any mutation making the virus intrinsically more

0. Obviously it is not ideal that border/MIQ workers were not being tested. But is this failure to blame for the current outbreak? Some thoughts on the "border worker hypothesis...(might
