Taxonomy matters and if we call the same strain different names in different countries, we quickly run into problems not knowing what’s happening around us. @sylvainbrisse.bsky.social is defining the main requirements and offers a solution using cgMLST and LIN codes.

Le gouvernement veut restreindre les soins pris en charge par l’AME pour les étrangers sans papiers
L’un des projets de décrets soumis à l’Assurance-maladie exclut notamment de l’aide médicale d’Etat « des actes qui ne sont pas destinés directement au traitement ou à la prévention d’une maladie, pour les bénéficiaires majeurs », selon l’Agence France-Presse.
