The funny thing about New Zealand is that the new outbreak has genetics unique to New Zealand. It’s very likely that they never actually rid themselves of it and that it had time to mutate. It could be seen as a warning that suppression works only so long as you keep suppressing even under relatively ideal conditions.
- crummy 6y agoI think it's unlikely that it's been spreading around undetected for 100 days, and suddenly we've noticed it. We've found nearly 100 new cases in the mass testing that has come out of this outbreak, but they all can be traced back to a single source.
- UberMouse 6y agoProvide a source for that? As someone who actually lives in New Zealand that's the exact opposite of what they have said about the outbreaks genetics... iirc it looks like it might have come from the UK or Australia.
