1/ There are a couple of reports about bat coronavirus RaTG13 which shares ~96.2% sequence similarity with #SARSCoV2. A report from The Times suggests that RaTG13 is the same virus as RaBatCov/4991, a bat virus discovered in 2013. archive.is/7TCsc Image 2/ A @BBC report: "...had it confirmed, from the researchers running a respected Chinese database, that it (RaTG13) is the same virus as one that WIV previously referred to as RaBatCov/4991 in this paper. There is no explanation for the change of name." bbc.co.uk/news/extra/ews…

A paper just published today in Cell: "A Genomic Perspective on the Origin and Emergence of #SARSCoV2". The lead author Dr. Zhang published the world's first genome sequence of #SARSCoV2 on an open-access site, virological.org on January 10, 2020. cell.com/cell/fulltext/… Dr. Zhang's laboratory at the Shanghai Public Health Clinical Center was ordered to shut down a day after his team first shared the genome sequence of #SARSCoV2 with the world 🤔 scmp.com/news/china/soc…

1/n A letter from Italy, please share: "I am writing to you from Bergamo, Italy, at the heart of the coronavirus crisis.

I am writing this post because each of you, today,@JoyceLauNews @DrEricDing 2/n not the government, not the school district, not the mayor, each individual citizen has the chance, today to take actions that will deter the Italian situation from becoming your own country’s reality. The only way to stop this virus is to limit contagion.
