Chise ???? on Twitter: “Guys, B.1.640.2 isn’t new. It actually PREDATES Omicron. It’s a sub-lineage of B.1.640- which caused some concern back in mid-November but couldn’t even compete with Delta. B.1.640.2 was first sequenced OVER a month ago and was officially recognized as a lineage in December.” / Twitter
