Uhh, got DMed by Tami Leiberman after my tweet. Doesn't seem to know the difference between infectivity and transmissibility.

In context

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

    I'm not sure what the point of Jim's article was (if there was one), but strong quotes from you Bob!

    What did she DM? I know Tami relatively well and she's good, but some of her SC2 stuff has been really disappointing and very naive.

    That's indeed pretty naive thinking - plus, the RBD can be found across multiple different viruses by now, so clearly this isn't "selecting for human transmissibility". And yeah - infection != transmission (although the former is obviously required for the latter).
