Another big update to nextstrain.org/ncov thanks to data sharing via @GISAID. Incl 1st genome from the DRC 🇨🇩 sequenced in-country by @inrb_kinshasa @Eddy_Lusamaki_K Amuri Aziza
& @PlacideMbala. Data is consistent with transmission from France. nextstrain.org/ncov?label=cla… 1/3
@GISAID @inrb_kinshasa @Eddy_Lusamaki_K @PlacideMbala Seven genomes from Finland show no clear clustering, supporting ongoing between-country transmission in Europe. Similarly, a single genome from New York also appears to be an introduction from Europe, but it’s not possible to say more given the current data. 2/3
@GISAID @inrb_kinshasa @Eddy_Lusamaki_K @PlacideMbala Five more genomes from Rio de Janeiro & São Paulo, Brazil 🇧🇷 thanks to @PaolaResende1, @xavier_joilson, @estercsabino @jaquegj @nmrfaria
@fapesp @mrc @NetworkArtic @imtspusp & @caddeproject. A virological post about these is forthcoming. nextstrain.org/ncov?f_country… 🎉 3/3

Update to nextstrain.org/ncov with new #SARSCoV2 / #HCoV19 genomic data from England, Germany and the Netherlands via @GISAID. 1/4
Five new genomes from England shared by @PHE_uk show a diversity of introduction events. nextstrain.org/ncov?f_divisio… 2/4
Three new genomes from Germany shared by the Center of Medical Microbiology, Virology, and Hospital Hygiene, University of Duesseldorf. Germany currently shows a mix of separate introductions alongside a community cluster in North Rhine Westphalia. nextstrain.org/ncov?f_country… 3/4

Today we reinstated the ancestral location inference (the lines on the map) by incorporating known travel history to help with sequencing bias (thanks to @hamesjadfield here). 1/4 Image
@hamesjadfield Important to remember that these are our best estimate given current data, and should be interpreted with a cautious eye.

Here is our reconstruction of spread inferred from Lombardy nextstrain.org/ncov?label=cla… 2/4 Image
@hamesjadfield And cases with travel history to Iran, where we don't yet have sequences 3/4 Image

Thanks to open data sharing via @GISAID, we've updated nextstrain.org/ncov with two additional #HCoV19 genomes from Wales and one additional genome from Washington State. 1/3
The two genomes from Wales each group the large European outbreak clade, but don't group together, suggesting separate introductions. Thanks to @SmallRedOne, @tomrconnor, @PublicHealthW, @WalesMicrobiol 2/3
The Washington State genome nests within the clade associated with community spread in King County and Snohomish County. Thanks to @seattleflustudy, @HelenChuMD, @lea_starita, @mjonasrieder, @debnick60, @JShendure, Jover Lee. 3/3

Thanks to @seattleflustudy and @UWVirology, we have new genomic data on the spread of #COVID19 in Washington State with 2 new #SARSCoV2 genomes sequenced today, bringing the total number of WA genomes to five. 1/8
Four of these five genomes are all part of a single cluster that appears to descend from the initial WA1 case identified in mid-Jan, including the case in Snohomish as well as two cases from King County. 2/8 nextstrain.org/ncov?branchLab…
This directly suggests that the transmission chain initiated in mid-Jan by case WA1 in Snohomish is responsible for at least a portion of the cases appearing in Seattle. 3/8

Thanks to rapid global data sharing of #SARSCoV2 genomic data via gisaid.org, we can reconstruct large and small scale patterns of #COVID19 spread. This is a thread discussing this intersection of large and small. 1/7
At this point, a decent fraction (10/43) of sequenced viruses sampled after Feb 1 belong to a particular genetic lineage. This lineage has mutations unique to it that differentiate it from other #SARSCoV2 lineages. nextstrain.org/ncov?c=gt-nuc_… 2/7
This lineage contains viruses sampled from Germany, Switzerland, Finland, Italy, Brazil and Mexico. The Italian sample is from Lombardy, further suggesting this lineage is responsible for a sizable portion of the Italian epidemic. 3/7

[THREAD] China Coronavirus Outbreak
A deadly virus is spreading from Asia, affecting hundreds of people and resulting in dozens of deaths, in what may become a gloabal health epidemic. This thread contains news about the outbreak.
#Coronavirus #WuhanOutbreak #ChinaVirus #WarWatch
On Dec 30, 2019, Chinese authorities confirmed cases of pneumonia of unknown cause in Wuhan, Hubei Province. A team of national experts was sent to carry out detection tests. Patients at a local seafood market were put in quarantine.
#Coronavirus #WuhanOutbreak #ChinaVirus
Liu Youning, a professor of epidemiology and respiratory medicine, told the Global Times that the #coronavirus found in #Wuhan appears to be far less serious than the virus that caused the severe acute respiratory syndrome (#SARS) or the Middle East respiratory syndrome (#MERS).

Looking for reasons to support TRIAL in its fight against impunity?
Here are a few taken from recents weeks:
1. We briefed the UN #SecurityCouncil on the question of #justice and reconciliation in #Bosnia and Herzegovina (5 Nov.) trialinternational.org/latest-post/tr…
2. Erwin #Sperisen, former chief of police of #Guatemala, will have to serve his 15-year prison sentence for complicity in 7 cases of #extrajudicialexecutions of prisoners. So has decided #Switzerland’s Supreme Court (26 Nov.)

#UPDATE
Iranian Ambassador to London: Indian Embassy granted the right to visit 18 Indian crew members of the seized British tanker.

My take:
#Iran's regime has committed piracy & taken these crew members hostage. They must be confronted with a firm response immediately.
#UPDATE
Indian gov: Iranian authorities release nine Indians from Panama-flagged Riah oil tanker seized by #Iran

My take:
Tehran is attempting to "cooperate" after news of Europe & Gulf states weighing separate initiatives to use naval forces to protect ships in regional waters.
#UPDATE
Danish Foreign Minister Anders Samuelsen: We welcome a British plan for a naval mission in the Strait of Hormuz and look positively at our possible participation.

Interesting.. a British tanker in the Persian Gulf has come to a complete stop. Would expect it to start heading south but as of now it's completely stopped.

Boat is the PACIFIC VOYAGER, image of the ship and it's location compared to Iran seen below.
Don't panic or anything, I'm going to monitor this until it makes another movement.
#UPDATE: Boat still stopped, it's status is officially stopped instead of underway using engine. It's at 0.5 knts as of now.
