Por favor, alertem o Bolsonaro que a Suécia, que ele passou a idolatrar, é governada pela centro-esquerda. O premier Stefan Löfven é do Partido Social Democrata

14 de maio, é dia de grande luz. Nasceu Benjamin Souza Veloso, primeiro filho de Tom Veloso e de Jasmine, primeiro neto de Paula Lavigne. Como eu e todos os meus irmãos, #Benjamim nasceu em casa. ❤️ #CaetanoVeloso #DiaDeAlegria #FiqueEmCasa

We challenge this paradigm, so far, we got 3 COVID-19 papers, 2/3 the 1st author were females (Sarah Cleemput and Carla Mavian), the other 1st sharing author (Marta Giovanetti). All of our GISAID seqs had Jennifer Giandhari as 1st author krisp.org.za #ReimagineResearch

"Excess deaths in UK under coronavirus lockdown pass 63,000" - looking forward for someone with the right expertise to compare this to Sweden and assess differences due to lockdown effects separately from COVID-19 e.g. ➡️ @Alex_Washburne theguardian.com/society/2020/j…

Whole Genome Sequencing of SARS-CoV-2: Adapting Illumina Protocols for Quick and Accurate Outbreak Investigation During a Pandemic biorxiv.org/content/10.110… #Africa #COVID19 #sequencing Illumina

We are really excited to create a simpler protocol on Illumina that saves 9h on hands-on time to sequence SARS-CoV-2. We are now training many African labs on this protocol... Well done Jennifer and Sureshnee for developing this in South Africa and making it public...

De acordo!

Our first narrative on #COVID19 in Africa: > 200 introductions. Early clustered outbreaks fuelling localised transmissions. Thanks #OpenData data, Nextstrain GISAID Initiative Trevor Bedford Richard Neher. All labs fully acknowledged and analysis done in Africa! more: nextstrain.org/groups/ngs-sa/…

For the government, Brazil is a victim of "DISINFORMATION" about forest fires!
