Being imagined for receiving data from Gisaid i guess it would not impossibel to get this integrated to COVSPECTRUM , their output seem very interesting ( Effective growth rate, Real prevalence, next exportation predictions etc) .

I am conscious this is a major work but still worth to take a look at this in my view.
