Hmmmm that IS weird. Presumably though, if these reads are real surely they must be contamination from other sequencing experiments at WIV.

Eddie Holmes is no longer my friend on Twitter :crying_cat_face: - Eddie, I take this as my queue to shut up... :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:. In better news - we can only hope...

Pretty interesting genomic report from New Zealand (confidential for now, I assume) that looks well-reasoned: https://nextstrain.org/community/narratives/ESR-NZ/GenomicsNarrativeSARSCoV2/2020-10-01

This looks weird: https://osf.io/s4td6/ There was a simultaneous outbreak of the zoonotic Nipah henipavirus in Wuhan - 4 out of 5 patients have the virus in Jinyintan Hospital , along with SARS-Cov2, in their metagenome - which seems to have resolved by itself *AUTHORS* Sandeep Chakraborty

But yes if not prayers we at least have hope! Either he gets it or a HCQ/Azithromycin overdose.

E.g., I know people found plenty of evidence of Lassa in GTEx individuals from the Broad... Obviously there was nooutbreak of Lassa in Boston - just the Broad doing its thing.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure these are contaminants - you can see the reads via the raw SRA: https://trace.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Traces/sra/?run=SRR11092059 https://trace.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Traces/sra/?run=SRR11092060 https://trace.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Traces/sra/?run=SRR11092061 https://trace.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Traces/sra/?run=SRR11092062 Many other viruses in there too

I'm now your friend again @Kristian Andersen...I obviously unfollowed by mistake. :older_man:

Of course... It's okay Eddie - I want to unfollow myself as well :wink:
