Set my mind at ease, pretty please?

This is your lucky Sunday.

"Researchers have posted huge numbers of SARS-CoV-2 genome sequences online since January 2020. The most popular data-sharing platform, called GISAID, now hosts more than 450,000 viral genomes"

If you don't trust those globalists here's an NIH database with 392K sequences.

How do you think we're identifying the variants if we aren't constantly sequencing?

You're welcome and I hope you can sleep well now that your mind is at ease.

EXCELLENT!!!

I don’t see, or am not clever enough to extract, where these massive sequences are cross checked. Nor the results w.r.t the original sequence the Chinese released.

On honest sequences I’d expect a pretty good match, with minor variations due to unavoidable sequencing errors and genetic drift.

I assume you’ve done, or at least know of such a cross check?

Anyway, thanks for bringing actual data to the table. I wish more people did that in any of these discussions (debates? arguments? flame wars?)...
