A quick thread on the new variant, pulling together information from news sources, twitter, genomic databases, and word from well-placed peers.


The new variant in the UK consists of several mutations in the spike protein, including ΔH69/ΔV70 deletions & other receptor binding domain mutations such as N501Y.

The variant is described here in this pre-print from @GuptaR_lab.

The ΔH69/ΔV70 variant continues to increase quite rapidly as a proportion of overall positives (roughly doubling in the last 2 to three days), and is apparently now the dominant strain in test positives in some regions.

Extensive efforts have gone into enhanced surveillance for the ΔH69/ΔV70 deletion with and without RBD mutations, and it is good that we are aware of this.

There is a need for calm and rational thinking, and more evidence is needed.

But the early data is certainly concerning

Remember KP Yohanan?
Man behind #Sabrimala & whose NGO ws exposed in recent IT crackdown?
KP cld be connected to "killing" of Malayali journo, SV Pradeep--a man who hd crossed swords with Kerala CM & every Political party.
I hope central agency @NIA_India is aware of it. https://t.co/DyplfAU0Zj

SV Pradeep hd exposed a huge racket-- which he called the COFFIN racket (shava petti racket in malayalam). He apparently hd proof that KP's organisations wr running 20-25 crematories, and that the bodies turned into ashes in these places, wr UNACCOUNTED for.
But y?

SV pradeep ws killed in a hit & run case, on 15th Dec 2020.
This journo hd locked horns with almost every POLITICAL party in Kerala. He ws known for being one of the most brusque journalists in Kerala.
Bt he hd hurt commies & KP the most, with his reports.


4/8
In this youtube report👇 of Pradeep he hd exposed KP Yohanan, bt this ws not the 1st time he hd reported on KP.
He hd been doing it since sometime.

So why wld one suspect KP when Pradeep hd myriads of enemies?

5/8 It ws the TIMING of his killing which makes one suspicious. He ws killed during the LOCAL body elections in Kerala. No POLITICAL party wld want to commit suicide by getting rid of a nemesis during elections or immediately after that-- not even the commies!!!
