   Yeah, very reasonable. It's unclear to me if B.1.1.7 might also have an "immunity" phenotype - a lot is said about the RSA variant in that regard, but that's because we have _data_ on E484K, but for B.1.1.7 we don't have anything yet. Also, Eeek is already in B.1.1.7 as you say....

   Oh, and to the last part - things over here won't improve quickly, unfortunately. It's rapidly deteriorating - without the effect of the new lineages.

   Students are coming back to Tulane campus - there is an almost desperate attempt to get one of the vaccine manufacturers to vaccinate all or at least part of the undergraduate students for the purposes of doing an vaccine efficacy study. It'ds almost as good as a challenge trial because the undergrads will be tested 2-3 times per week.So far pushback, because corporate think. I don't think they want to know or are afraid to even raise the question hence the Nelly study above. Most of the medical faculty and some of the med students and residents have already gotten the first doses. Faculty, staff, med students, residents and grad students are getting the Pfizer vaccine next week.

   Eddie, you don't look too happy at the prospect of lunch, I think:

   It's like when Jeneba our cook in Sierra Leone kills the chickens [at least I think it's chicken] for dinner. At least itsolves the cold storage problem and it's fresh.

   Nom nom, pumpkin chicken :drooling_face::hatched_chick:. I miss Jeneba's cooking (although, not the leafy green and fishy stuff!)
