I agree. The other issue here is ego. Cleverly, Trevster does what he does because he is in love with this image inthis pandemic: he feels he is saving humanity and has to fuel an adoring public. His threads have been increasingdogmatic and errors will creep in. Ego also explains some of those early events in China: obviously, all those involved are desperately trying to be the first to publish on the virus and prevent others from beating them. This ishuman nature. It most cases we can handle it. Occasionally, ego and narcissism gets so strong that it is impossibleto handle and is damaging. Alas, the US President is a prime example.

The most annoying thing is Trevor is very clever and very talented and could be doing great science. I think he iswasted doing NextStrain but he has been sucked in by it.

Very true. Believing your own hype never ends well.
