It looks like we may be headed for an early flu season, especially in the Western region, where test positivity is climbing quickly. www.forceofinfection.com/second-look-...

Due to some really great work from the @nextstrain.org team, it is now easier to put together new builds! We've recently released H7Nx and H10Nx builds onto the main avian-flu page along with all the standard features. Check them out! nextstrain.org/avian-flu/h1...

This has been a big collaborative effort with a huge amount of work from Nyall in particular. Some cool follow ups to this to come including thinking about applying the idea to othe diseases and joint fitting with viral load data. Please reach out if interested in being involved!
