First, kudos to the Chinese authors doing this work & a shoutout to @edwardcholmes also involved

I already flagged this Wang et al. preprint yesterday but it is worth explaining its significance to both the #origins discussion and the related pandemic #prevention discussion

AšŸ§µ
First: Origins

One thing that goes often down in all the noise surrounding #lableak is the fact that SARS-CoV-2, and actually all CoVs, possess #mosaic genomes.

This is because CoVs evolve not only through mutation but also through exchanging genetic elements with other CoVs
2/
This exchange is called '#recombination'.

One can imagine CoV genomes like colorful Lego brick walls, and recombination as taking one brick from a different virus and putting it in the wall of another; changing the color while keeping roughly the function.

HOW TO USE CASELINES - OPPOSED MOTIONS (PART 1: THE PROCESS PRIOR TO APPLYING FOR AN OPPOSED MOTION DATE)

{THREAD}
1/ Before I get into the CaseLines side of things concerning opposed motion dates, I will briefly explain the process leading up to the point of requesting an opposed motion date.

An opposed motion date will be required when an application becomes formally opposed.
2/ It is not as simple as that however, so let me explain the process.

The following explanation is in line with the Uniform Rules of Court and the Gauteng Divisionā€™s various Practice Directives. Letā€™s start.

#AndrewYang and #KrystalBall have long conversation, on #YangSpeaks (now #Forward) about his new party (arguably NOT a party), what it will do, and why.

#YangGang have been waiting for definitive answers. Well, your wait is... not really overšŸ˜µā€šŸ’«
What do I mean by that? Well...

@AndrewYang said he IS starting a new party...
BUT he "answered" the question of whether the Forward party would run candidates by saying it will back #Democrats and #Republicans who align with Forward policy...
open.spotify.com/episode/0XZgPTā€¦
He said he is forming a new party because he doesn't believe changing #election rules in favor of more parties is likely to happen from within the #duopoly...

BUT, they're going to back duopoly candidates, and didn't mention running their own...

How #American #Elections Work: A ThreadšŸ‘‡

The #TrumpCampaign and its alliesĀ have filed #lawsuitsĀ to try to block some key states from certifying #Election2020results results that show #Democrat @JoeBiden defeating President @realDonaldTrump.

So, whatā€™s the deal with the Polish #ombudsmanā€™s term and the Constitutional Tribunal ruling on that?
The Polish #NHRI, ombudsman, Commissioner for Civil Rights, a man of many talents, @Adbodnar, was appointed for a 5-year term according to the Polish #Constitution. (1/7)
The appointment of an ombudsman requires a vote in BOTH chambers of the Polish #parliament ā€“ the lower one, Sejm (controlled by the ruling party) and the upper one, Senat (controlled by the opposition). Currently, this means a deadlock on any contentious candidacy. (2/7)
What happens if both chambers of the parliament canā€™t agree? The #Constitution is silent on this, but according to the #law on the ombudsman, the incumbent stays in the office until the parliament decides. Which means that Adam Bodnar is now an on an ā€œextendedā€ term. (3/7)

Is it only the @GOP & those who lean to the right that our #DemocraticNominees need to constantly please? I didn't hear the @GOP candidates straying from THEIR messages in 2016 to woo #Democrats.

In your opinions #Democrats can't try to move the Country forward towards equity, healthcare, student loan forgiveness, better education, housing, or fair criminal justice system...why? Why is that?
Yes. We need to put up an inspiring #Candidate & mobilize voters

...And by overcoming overt voter suppression every step of the way by the @GOP.
We can & should do better than this.

What do you do when you disagree with someone ? ... How do you handle a different perspective? ... I check we are talking about the same thing... consider the logic and evidence and finally stress test their conclusions...
I did that and I disagreed with @CarolineLucas my leader
First off @CarolineLucas is #spectacularly bright, #hardworking and a #visionary who pulled me into @TheGreenParty orbit. There are very few... perhaps no other UK politicians with a more determined record of standing up for our collective #environmental #rights #newgreenpolitics

A friendly #reminder. Once the #Primaries are done, and you have who's ever leftover (#firstchoice or not)

From there, Pick the #candidate who is most likely to treat #humans as #humanbeings.

I like #Polis. I like #Kennedy.
I can only have 1.
but they both see me as a human.
There's no extra choice to this.
The GOP governor candidates have made their stances that some humans are better than others.

so.... yeah.
That's how I pick. After I'm done hoping for the best, I will work with the rest.
I just find it's really hard to work with a candidate's "promises to protect blah" when they could care less about the people who inhabit the area.
