The good folks @Gisaid have nearly 140,000 #SARSCoV2 viruses genetically sequenced. If you go to their epi section: https://www.gisaid.org/epiflu-applications/hcov-19-genomic-epidemiology/..there are some amazing findings. 1.) Tracing backw

This thread is valuable for a *lot* of reasons in its own right. I am going to use it as an eg of the importance of sampling and genomic epidemiology
