1. The mysterious case of Eddie Holmes and the SARS-COV-2 genome sequence publication delay

https://t.co/ahWcudTbxd

Seems that Eddie was playing the "innocent card"

@TheSeeker268 @franciscodeasis @ydeigin @AntGDuarte @edwardcholmes @K_G_Andersen


2. Was the motive of https://t.co/nu7hNVhiwPโ€™s rush release due to competition to get the first releaser credit for the sars-cov-2 genome?

3. @GISAID claims 'the access credentials of some of the persons listed as authors of Wuhan-hu-1 were among the access credentials used on January 10, 2020 to access the first genomes available on GISAID'

4. @GISAID formally wrote to the authors who acknowledged Virological,orgโ€™s post as the world's first release of the SARS-COV-2 genome, and penalised the authors of MN908947

5. but @GISAID didn't identify who exactly from Fudan University or University of Sydney ACCESSED and KNEW about IVDC's 'initial' submission of IVDC-01/05 on GISAID on 10th Jan, 2020, via login records of their GISAID account credentials.

Dr Sasa, spokesperson for the exiled opposition National Unity Government (NUG), said the public had no choice but to defend itself:

"The military are not only destroying our democracy and freedom, but they are destroying every day our dignity as human beings"

The residence of coup leader Min Aung Hlaing is a testament to his ambitionโ€”and his fear of the people he seeks to rule

https://t.co/yInq583gI5


Apart from Mansion 1, which serves as his official residence, Min Aung Hlaing is known to have several other homes. One is the Yarzathingaha residence in Naypyitawโ€™s Ottarathiri Township & another is at No.14 Inya Road in Yangon, also properties in Pyin Oo Lwin.


As Myanmarโ€™s most powerful family accumulates vast wealth through military-linked companies like Mytel, the countryโ€™s poverty rate will double by next year due to the combined impact of Covid-19 pandemic & the coup.

Nearly half of Myanmar will be living in absolute poverty

@NCPV @Micro_MDPI 1. "Specificity of S is largely responsible for widespread & rapid communicability of SARS-CoV-2, with relatively low virulence in most infected; in contrast, spread of MERS is more easily contained, but its virulence is much higher, at 35%."

@NCPV @Micro_MDPI 2. A virus with high communicability of SARS-CoV-2 & the virulence of MERS would be apocalyptic in its impact!
There is a breakpoint sequence in MERS S (25215CAGAT) that is similarly very close in relative position to 25047CAGAT in SARS-CoV-2.....

@NCPV @Micro_MDPI 3. There is a 4th breakpoint sequence, between the receptor binding domain of MERS & the S1/S2 junction, that is precisely conserved in sequence & position with the corresponding location of SARS-CoV-2:
23577CAGAC in MERS
23300CAGAC in SARS-CoV-2

"Considering the variability of orf8 in bats, civets and humans, investigating the function of orf8 is a priority, particularly the contribution of these different variants to viral pathogenesis."


2. ORF8 or Fate?
"In addition to receptor binding, proteolytic cleavage of S & potentially other mutations that affect virion & trimer stability may be important for virus transmissibility in different hosts, & these factors need to be studied
