I'm starting to get worried about POTUS's acute mental status. Yesterday in his video, he simply looked like a typical sick person, tired, seated at a desk, explaining what's been

New preprint. We estimate the transmissibility of #SARSCoV2 lineages based on their genomic makeup. Overall, transmissibility of #SARSCoV2 went up over time, but fitness of individual clades tends to decay
