Playing with faeces again💩! This time, the metabarcoding study about what the amazing endangered Black-faced spoonbill eats 🧬🐟🦐！@sywsin @anson_tcw @ Emily

Our paper on the black‐faced spoonbill is out!

The rules are simple at this deli in the Bronx: solve a math equation and you get five seconds to grab anything you want off store shelves. (But not the cat.) https://t.co/rogCHPcUGM

13/ This review paper suggests that coronaviruses can persist on surfaces like metal, glass or plastic for up to 9d, but can be inactivated by surface disinfection. #2019nCoV #nCoV2019

The most important thing I learned about bats from expert @PeterDaszak? Baby flying fox bats are incredibly cute 🦇

(Unfortunately bats can also carry a lot of viruses, more on that coming soon..)

https://t.co/d77aKN5q6r写了一个R包，可以爬到最新的疫情统计数据。这个R包的特点是用户友好，再菜的鸟都会用。 https://t.co/UdtUfc5oJm 许多人询问有没有各省市的历史数据，于是又更新了历史数据。 有了历史和最新数据，可以做很多分析，希望对大家有用，也算是对控制疫情提供自己的一点点力量。

In the US we plead with @Facebook @Twitter etc to take down false disease claims and rumors. In China such things can get you thrown in prison -- even if what you are saying is absolutely true.

#Coronavirus Pummels #Wuhan, a City Short of Supplies and Overwhelmed. It's nearly impossible to get the care they need to treat, or even diagnose, the coronavirus, say residents at the crisis’ center. https://t.co/LJs7YXOJY6 via @amyyqin

67 organisations, including The Lancet Group, Cell Press, and Elsevier globally, commit to sharing all relevant data on 2019-nCoV fully, freely, and immediately. Global solidarity with WHO, China, and all frontline health workers. https://t.co/9fgD187I1R

Assuming SARS-like variation and Wuhan-like transmission, we estimated that once more than three infections have been introduced into a new location, there is an over 50% chance that an outbreak will occur 7/

Yesterday it was 7000 passengers & crew under lockdown on a cruise ship in Italy. Today 40,000 workers are reportedly quarantined at a vast industrial complex in Indonesia awaiting #coronavirus test results. Includes 5,000 guest workers from mainland China https://t.co/Dnx92p4hio

These short inserts do indeed exist in #nCoV2019 relative to its closest sequenced relative (BetaCoV/bat/Yunnan/RaTG13/2013, seen here https://t.co/Qz2zmZD5yS). However, a simple BLAST of such short sequences shows match to a huge variety of organisms. No reason to conclude HIV.

We Don’t Have Enough Face Masks.

"Stay home as much as possible when in the pathogen-spewing phase of any respiratory disease. Bringing a contagious disease to work or onto the subway poses a hazard to others that can’t be totally eliminated with a mask"

This is unfair. The #coronavirus knows no racial or ethnic bounds, just as MERS isn’t Arab, nor Spanish flu European. It could happen anywhere. Let’s all be more kind to each other. https://t.co/QzS8HLHWhu

17/ Researchers from @JohnsHopkinsSPH created a tracking map 🗺 of the #coronarovirus. Here is the difference of just 2.5 days change. Map updated here: https://t.co/jel2KhkW8i

[Richard Neher @richardneher]

Given the low diversity in #nCov2019 genomes shared so far, the fact that all differences are singletons, and the apparently rapid spread, one can estimate Tmrca assuming a star topology. The big unknown is the rate (and sequencing errors). see also here: https://t.co/Aqf7Xm9Mtm
