Finally (for now) there is this thread

And this is VERY important given this is a dynamic situation and we have just had >50k cases in a day

Our poor control of the virus enables greater mutation

Which is EXACTLY what happened in 2018 https://twitter.com/tomaspueyo/status/1342986938677133316?s=20
