@mbkasg Thanks! There's a nuance it captures: disorder (death) makes life "better". It just doesn't adapt. also, the idea was inspired by Nassim Taleb's book Antifragile.
@mlq3 We tend to assume that we are the ones who know what game is being played
But what if we are the Clueless and the Sociopaths and the Losers are the ones playing us?

@mlq3@jayfajardo I've paid no attention to PH politics for 2 decades so not sure if I'm reading this right
Most good faith take is perhaps the title is a tactical branding error, like an Irish docu entitled "Papists: the fall of Catholic Ireland"?

So you start with a suspected disease
Then you amplify genes related to that disease and sequence? Custom primers?
MinION?
No issues w IRB?

@concentricbygbw Are you folks open to working with a scrappy open science group?
Project Accessible Genomics was born during the pandemic at @JustOneGiantLab and enabled SARS-CoV-2 sequencing in rural Philippines (got featured in @CNN)

On the eve of the 2016 Philippine pres. elections, I encountered an article that explored the use of Google trends to predict election outcomes, by @kcorazo in Apr 2016. Back-tested with prior elections in other counties. TL;DR It predicted a Duterte win.
