Abstract
A localized outbreak of COVID-19 pneumonia in Cyllage City among a population with no history of travel to infected regions has been tentatively linked to consumption of the regional insectivorous zubat (Vespertilio caeruleus sineoculus, Pseudochiroptera), supported by amino acid sequence similarity between SARS-CoV-2 and a related coronavirus from the bats. An increased need for surveillance of bat viruses in Kalos is warranted.

Trump, stress and sex ratios
A year after Trump’s election, liberal leaning Ontario ridings had a change in the sex ratio of their infants. Usually, there are slightly more boys but during stressful times and Trump is considered stressful enough to change the birth ratio.

If I only had a brain!
The rat with no brain found accidentally. R222 doesn’t have ‘no brain’ as such but an abnormal brain imaging that most of the head cavity is just filled with fluid. But the rat looks like all the other rats and behaved within normal parameters for memory and motor function, although it was described as ‘more anxious’ than the other rats.

Why would mutation rates in the Amish be lower than other populations?
Du novo mutations (DNMs) rate for European, African-American and Latino was similar to each other. Is there an environmental connection or another reason?

Tatoo ink ban in Europe
European Commission makes a report that some inks used when tatooing are problematic. Reliable ink vendors should be used.
Pigment blue 15 and pigment green 7 are to be banned. Claims are that the substances are “carcinogenic, mutagenic, or toxic to reproduction; skin sensitizers or irritants; corrosive or damaging to the eye; metal containing; or already regulated in cosmetics.”
