Wildly diverse branch of MC.10.1.7 (KP.3.1.1 descendant, died out early 2025) in Ontario.
It's apparently been circulating at a low level for the past year. ≥6 different people are represented here.
I think this must involve one or more chronic infections + transmission. 1/7
To everyone who helped bring the Obama Presidential Center to life, thank you. Michelle and I are so grateful for all your dedication and hard work over the years.
I got a little teary-eyed tonight thinking about my mother-in-law, Marian Robinson.
Here is a comparison of three “goalie” masks representing different eras of the franchise.
- The mask on the right is from the 2009 #FridayThe13th film
- The mask in the center is from the excellent Wompstomp Films fan film Never Hike Alone
- The mask on the left is one of the original designs from the Jason Universe received at the Sweet Revenge premier last year.
What are your favorite features from these masks and what would you like to see @JasonUniverse13 incorporate into the hock in future redesigns?
BA.1/NB.1.8.1 recombinant uploaded today from Portugal, collection date January 2026. There were two BA.1 collected in Dec 2025 from Michigan uploaded last month as well.
BA.1 not entirely finished with us yet, over 4 years after it disappeared from circulation.
Another fascinating study from the Schreiber lab. When BA.1 emerged, I saw its spike RBD muts & thought Q498R looked familiar. It was, but not because I'd seen it in a virus sequence. It was because this lab predicted it months before BA.1 showed up. 1/37

What a brilliant strategy to help give a snapshot of global viral prevalences in otherwise "dark" regions with no wastewater surveillance. Great work, @SolidEvidence
RFK Jr has cut Alzheimers research.
Alzheimers.
One of the most devastating, urgent and increasing health problems we face today.
He's not interested.
He's a nasty piece of work.
