@Richardssalvato Sorry for the slow reply! I’ll send you a direct message

Our work on the global origins and spread of canine rabies is now out on @NatureComms. We developed a new method that combines both full and partial viral genome sequences to trace the history of viral diseases more precisely. With @GuyBaele

【393日目】世界中から集めた25787個のRABVの断片と完全長配列の両方を使ってより詳細な進化解析を行った研究。系統関係から分岐年代や過去のRABVの世界での拡散過程を推定した。イヌ媒介性のRABVが1301-1403年頃に出現したことなどを明らかに。#毎日ろんぶん

More news in the medieval origins of infectious diseases. Today's study suggests that canine rabies saw a major proliferation in the 14thC: https://t.co/zlI113DxJf. An RNA virus, no archaic genetic material was found. Rather, this is a phylogenetic study made from modern samples.

[Monica H Green, PhD #VaxTheWorld @monicaMedHist]

This will be an important study to incorporate into any #GlobalHealthHistory courses, as they argue clearly for the role of European colonialism in disseminating canine rabies worldwide starting in the 15thC.

@nj_taxation , I'm still waiting for my 2021 refund. I can see online that my refund has been approved, but I have not yet received it. When will refunds for 2021 be delivered? Thank you :)

Lots of headlines about B.1.1.529 today.

Thoughts: Yes, this variant has a high # of spike mutations, & a few known to cause changes. But, we've seen previous variants that looked worrying & never took off. We should watch & wait for more data to estimate how concerning this is.

@franakviacorka @Ryanair An Irish-owned plane, registered in Poland, is hijacked flying from Greece to Lithuania. 4 EU countries involved. If there was ever a crisis for the EU to prove it actually stands for something other than bureaucratic red tape and the Euro, now is that coming to Jesus moment.

Netanyahu has failed to form a government since 2019. He operates a 'caretaker' gov't. His opposition is about to form a new gov't with the Islamist Ra'am Party. He started this war to prevent this from happening. He is a war criminal. Jews are not Bibi and Israelis are not Bibi

[Ashok Swain @ashoswai]

This is not Israel's war, this is Netanyahu's politics - Airstrikes are to prepare the path for the next elections & to boost his image to win it. https://t.co/urKbRbVGgN

Netanyahu thrives off of fear. If there is a rise in antisemitism, there will be a rise in Netanyahu support. He's almost gone. Don't add fuel to his fire.

[Andrew Holtz @holtzlior]

Israelis haven't given him more than 25% of the vote in the last four emergency elections of 2019(2), 2020, and 2021. Don't blame the Jewish diaspora for the crimes of a war criminal. Netanyahu needs to be removed from power for starting a war to prevent democracy from prevailing

@leoserpaggi Ah weird, when I go online, I can see a couple available at centers around Paris. I can even book my second one if I wanted to. Make sure you are checking for both Pfizer and Moderna at the centers !

[Andrew Holtz @holtzlior]

#Doctolib is making it so incredibly easy now to book COVID-19 vaccinations in France. As of today, people 18+ can sign up for Pfizer and Moderna vaccines up to 48 hours in advance. I just checked, and there are many appointments available. I rarely say it, but good job France 👍

[Dr. Angela Rasmussen @angie_rasmussen]

The sequences from the Ebola virus outbreak in Guinea were posted on virological, and they are, to put it mildly, absolutely stunning.

The sequences are only 12-13 nucleotides different from those circulating in the 2014-2016 epidemic.

This morning I was in a zoom meeting, and I asked- At what time are we resuming?

Then it hit me resuming... REZOOMING. Woah
