Great study!
1️⃣ 686 sequences, ~13% of cases (‼️)
2️⃣ Evolutionary rate of 8.7×10-4 s/s/y (a little slow vs EBOV)
3️⃣ Doubling time: ~2 weeks
4️⃣ Timing: late February 2026
5️⃣ Slow start in in Mongbwalu, amplification in urban center(s)
6️⃣ No evidence of majority mutations linked to fitness increase
👏
