And how could “multiple polytomies” indicate “double zoonosis” when it literally appear in every superspreading cluster and major variant of SARS-CoV-2 today? https://gab.com/Flavinkins/posts/109016556387587166 https://gab.com/Flavinkins/posts/109179292343046033 Your simulation is wrong if what you claim to be extremely unlikely, happens all the time. https://gab.com/Flavinkins/posts/108956120173554636 https://gab.com/Flavinkins/posts/108974982120327267 https://gab.com/Flavinkins/posts/108983088984087090 https://gab.com/Flavinkins/posts/108941081553382213 It just happened that the phylogenetic tree topology of SARS-CoV-2 once you begin to look past 14/02/2020, resemble perfectly that of measles. Another virus with superspreading, one that appears only in humans. https://gab.com/Flavinkins/posts/109025416744564920 https://gab.com/Flavinkins/posts/108860074766577121 https://gab.com/Flavinkins/posts/108922841820898119 https://gab.com/Flavinkins/posts/108763931290402313 Here is why you get the polytomy at lineage B. (28144T and 8782C confers greater disease severity and higher transmissibility, which is also why lineage A went extinct) https://gab.com/Flavinkins/posts/108996982333862686 https://gab.com/Flavinkins/posts/108869387343860968 (Also hint: http://nature.com/articles/s41467-021-26884-7 https://archive.ph/ejdiJ one of the earliest superspreading events of lineage B after the Huanan seafood market superspreading event originated from an infected brain—such compartments accelerate viral evolution and skews the lineage B MRCA backward as the result). Also, quasispecies should not be ignored when it comes to the modeling of phylogenetics and phylodynamics of RNA viruses. https://gab.com/Flavinkins/posts/108861410320430025 https://gab.com/Flavinkins/posts/108864606801240300
