# Transcript

**[2020-10-03T07:22:09] Kristian G. Andersen:** Imagine that - NOBODY could have predicted that something like this could have happened.... Such a bunch of idiots - plain and simple.

**[2020-10-03T08:10:15] Robert F. Garry:** One month and maybe - just maybe - the beginning of the end of the clown show.

**[2020-10-03T08:39:02] Robert F. Garry:** Holy shit Chris Christy positive test.

**[2020-10-03T08:51:08] Kristian G. Andersen:** The only positive thing ever said about Chris Christy.

**[2020-10-03T09:19:27] Robert F. Garry:** Of 6 ppl in Trump's debate prep last Sat. 4/6 now positive (Hicks, Trump, Sepian and now Christy) . Only Rudy andNeonazi Steve Miller yet to announce test results.

**[2020-10-03T09:21:14] Andrew Rambaut:** https://www.theonion.com/rudy-giuliani-tests-positive-for-slew-of-obscure-bat-di-1845255014

**[2020-10-03T09:30:35] Robert F. Garry:** Totally makes sense to me. [shared file(s): image.png]

**[2020-10-03T09:58:09] Robert F. Garry:** Kristian can you verify the metagenomic assembles (assuming the Harvard folks got around to posting them)? We wouldn't want Dr. Yan or Alina questioning the veracity of this important new data.

**[2020-10-03T09:59:51] Kristian G. Andersen:** The Boston outbreak data?

**[2020-10-03T10:01:46] Robert F. Garry:** No - Rudy's bat viruses - sorry not clear on that!

**[2020-10-03T10:02:37] Robert F. Garry:** Should have use the sarcasm mode.

**[2020-10-03T10:03:41] Kristian G. Andersen:** Haha, Garry sarcasm is one step above me... :wink:

**[2020-10-03T10:05:25] Robert F. Garry:** No worries - if you have to explain the jokes they are probably not that good!
