@Eddie Holmes Mostly, I'm just a little confused - because these are big and important questions so we all know that we need to be really careful what we say (especially because of a few prior misfires). And some of these mistakes are really simple - as in, I can spot them and I'm still in elementary school when it comes to these types ofquestions (hence I collaborate with people who graduated already - just so I don't cock up too much).

@Eddie Holmes No idea. But the hotel quarantine thing is huge in Australia. There's a formal inquiry at the moment and heads will roll.

@Eddie Holmes My worry is that these young, talented scientists have squandered a huge opportunity to do great science and help understand the pandemic and instead do silly ephemeral shite like this.

@Eddie Holmes Completely agree. They are being dragged along by Trevor's ego.
