    If you think we shouldn’t mandate masks in public spaces because freedom, consider that we don’t have the freedom to assault strangers. We have laws against assault because hurting others is not a right. Refusing masks hurts others. It’s not a right. https://t.co/RBecep0OUR

    The preprint is the outcome of a great collaboration with our Palestinian colleagues, Nouar Qutob, Zaidoun Salah, Hisham Darwish and others, and my wonderful collaborators Damien Richard and @LucyvanDorp. 5/ https://t.co/myVYP82moI

    We estimate the age of introduction of this 'Palestinian lineage' to early February, suggesting #SARSCoV2 was already in circulation in Palestine around a month before its first detection in Bethlehem in early March. 4/ https://t.co/myVYP82moI https://t.co/myVYP82moI

    In addition to strains belonging to cosmopolitan lineages, we identified one locally predominant lineage represented by a cluster of 50 Palestinian #SARSCoV2, grouping with isolated viral samples from patients in Israel and a single one from the UK. 3/ https://t.co/myVYP82moI

    Most countries experienced many introductions of #SARSCoV2 during the early stages of the pandemic. Though lockdown policies and restrictions on travel is leading to more geographically structured viral populations and lineages transmitting locally. 2/ https://t.co/myVYP82moI

  • BallouxFrancois
    Prof Francois Balloux

    We report the first #SARSCoV2 genomes from Palestine. The strains from Palestine fall across the diversity of the global phylogeny of #SARSCoV2, consistent with at least nine independent introductions of #CIOVID19 into the region. 1/ https://t.co/myVYP82moI https://t.co/myVYP82moI
