   But yes if not prayers we at least have hope! Either he gets it or a HCQ/Azithromycin overdose.

   Hmmmm that IS weird. Presumably though, if these reads are real surely they must be contamination from other sequencing experiments at WIV.

   E.g., I know people found plenty of evidence of Lassa in GTEx individuals from the Broad... Obviously there was nooutbreak of Lassa in Boston - just the Broad doing its thing.

   Yeah, I'm pretty sure these are contaminants - you can see the reads via the raw SRA: https://trace.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Traces/sra/?run=SRR11092059 https://trace.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Traces/sra/?run=SRR11092060 https://trace.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Traces/sra/?run=SRR11092061 https://trace.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Traces/sra/?run=SRR11092062 Many other viruses in there too

   I'm now your friend again @Kristian Andersen...I obviously unfollowed by mistake. :older_man:
6. 2020-10-01 20:00 Kristian G. Andersen open
   Of course... It's okay Eddie - I want to unfollow myself as well :wink:

   Have a look at this one: https://trace.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Traces/sra/?run=SRR11092059&krona=on

   Let's hope that Hope was spreading things around on Trump's chopper.

   LOTS of viruses in there - obviously contaminants. I'm surprised the tinfoil hats haven't picked up on it yet. YET.
