Also, how do fish know that there is a huge desert in the middle of Africa or indeed a middle to Australia? I don't think this map has been drawn by fish at all...

HanoiVillan Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 From Twitter: https://twitter.com/gayrauder/status/1233814910234087425 Genuinely absurd nonsense. 'School #10' (it doesn't even have a name! ) serves approximately 3 billion people while the UK has a school to itself. Also, does it really make sense for people in Laos and New Zealand to go to the same school? Or Norway and Macedonia? Also appears that Italy and Afghanistan are uniquely non-magical countries. Baffling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Quiz of English counties: https://www.buzzfeed.com/benarmson90/there-are-50-european-countries-and-ill-be-impres?utm_source=dynamic&utm_campaign=bfsharetwitter&bfsource=bfocompareon&quiz_result=124476496_370320446#124476496&rid=370320446 I got them all right, to my surprise (something is broken with the 'East Riding of Yorkshire' answer, where even if you click it, it will tell you you're wrong, but all the others are good). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VILLAMARV Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 https://nextstrain.org/ncov/global Just put that in the generic virus thread. Perhaps it would be more apt in here.

Total agreement as per 11 hours ago, VILLAMARV said: https://nextstrain.org/ncov/global My little tablet thingy is struggling with that one (as is my brain with the genomic epidemiology bit!) But some rather nice data vis stuff there if anyone is interested or any of vt's medical community want to track biometric mutations. And how they've been tracked spreading around the world.
