Have you had a look at FCoV (feline coronovirus causing the Feline Infectious Peritonitis) as a model?

some info in the WHO initial risk evaluation here www.who.int/activities/t.... Not more pathogenic (at least with the current data), but quite far away from the vaccine strains and other circulating variants, so more likely to circulate as it evades the population immunity.

Also note I uploaded a partial sequence today from NZ (an RE.1.1), it is the first we see in clinical, more than a month after the first signals in wastewater.

Well, their tools are nowhere near as handy as tools like Nextstrain or outbreak.info...

I wanted to post before leaving work but didn't have time... You've been quick! BA.3.2 was only detected in one sample, so a transient visitor from Australia could also be possible. I guess we'll see what the future brings...

Ah, I had forgotten this (crucial) detail! 😅Thanks! :)
Also, thanks for this beautiful tableau, I find it quite useful!

What alternative to Gisaid do we have?

Whaaaat?? 🙄

Are you missing some? There were 16 (well, 15 +1 in NSW) in gisaid last week... 🤔

Of note, PE.1.4 is a descendant of MC.10.2.1 that has pretty much remained confined to NZ and was able to compete against NB.1.8.1 and against XFG

#MMWR 1: How bad was last year's flu season for kids?
Pretty bad: dx.doi.org/10.15585/mmw...
280 kids in the US died due to flu-related illness 💔
That's the most for any non-pandemic season since 2004 (1st year of required reporting of pediatric flu deaths)

Tree made using UShER I assume? Was it showing more than one maximally parsimonious placement?
