Wow, HN is strange sometimes. Have covid19 strains become political/tribal somehow?

I'm just pointing out something interesting in the data I was curious about. It's a pity HN picks out one detail and ignores the interesting thing... but upon reflection, pedantry is typical of today's HN, and partly why pg withdrew.

Regarding Australia, it's often said we are in the Asia region. And for the specific purposes here, of initial transmission, we have much contact with China, through tourism, education, primary produce and trade in general. It's expected we'd get initial infection direct from China (which trwcing shows we did), rather than via Europe.
