Do people honestly think magic will save us? Several good quotes by Bob and Andrew though :wink:

In context

A single line often inverts meaning once you see what it answers, so neighbouring messages are always shown.

I'm 100% certain he said a lot more than that - and was very reasonable - but the journo has just picked specific quotes and chosen the context. That particularly Nature reporter has form and I refuse to talk to him.

Yes - but the article also says that OC43 caused the 1898 Russian flu. I thought it was H3N8. Is this true aboutOC43 or don't we know. OC43 has a furin site and O-glycans.

There can't be any evidence it is OC43, surely?
