    The fact that US colleges are still trying to open up - it makes my blood boil as it puts the communities they are in atrisk and makes it near impossible to open much more critical things, such as primary school. Do the fucking teachingonline - it cannot be done! Nice quote Andrew - "Don't think any epidemiologist is still thinking that a non-human animal reservoir has had anything to do with the nCoV-2019 epidemic since December. Certainly the genome data doesn't support that." I'm not quite sure that supports their theory though...

    Well, once you rule out spillover from animals, what do you have left? Oh, OK, sick miners and mislabelled samples and nefarious goings on in labs. But then space would be the next thing on the list.

    We start start in 2 weeks. Because students are not being forced to be in Edinburgh we have to provide the option todo it entirely online. So everyone I know is going to do it all online. Even if the students are sitting in the dorm roomor library or whatever. The teachers will be at home.
