Expanded version of the last graph, both in the number of years & in its horizontal stretching. #AusFlu2025 peaked in July, but has declined slowly, meaning there's been *lots* of #flu around for a long time. Sept-2025 was the 2nd biggest Sept since 2017, and Oct-2025 was the biggest Oct on record

I want to spell this out in case the implications aren't clear: This means all public tools/webapps of GISAID data (all the ones you've been used to seeing thru the pandemic, as far as we can tell) are prohibited. The file allowed this. Cut that - cut off all tools the public & others were using.

Nextstrain@nextstrain.org

On Oct 1, 2025, GISAID informed us that they had ended updates to the flat file of SARS-CoV-2 genomic sequences and associated metadata that we had used to update Nextstrain analyses since Feb 2020. GISAID's stated rationale was that their "resources are limited". 1/5

Communications shutdown. Travel ban. Canceled study sections. Now a hiring freeze? Shutting down the NIH indefinitely without stated cause is literally an act of sabotage. Left: yesterday. Right: today.

The debate / essays about whether Musk did / did not do a Nazi salute is a trap, catching us all up into the granularities of what that salute looks like, etc. The vast majority of us have lived decades knowing never to do anything near, adjacent, kinda, accidentally like a Nazi salute.

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

You are up to date.
