# Transcript

**[2021-05-18T19:00:15] Edward C. Holmes:** No worries. Will need a lot of polishing.

**[2021-05-18T19:13:05] Kristian G. Andersen:** Yeah - we need to get this 100% right.

**[2021-05-18T19:42:20] Edward C. Holmes:** Chatting with someone at EgoHealth now....WIV are sending them all their sequences. Nothing close to SC2.

**[2021-05-18T20:08:16] Kristian G. Andersen:** Well, had SC2 been in there, they'd probably have taken it out... :wink:. Actually, the questions about bats and "how special is Wuhan" may be very good questions for the EgoHealth crew -I expect they might have some insights, so maybe ask? We'd have to independently validate, of course...

**[2021-05-18T20:13:18] Edward C. Holmes:** Very true. I'll see what I can do.

**[2021-05-18T20:45:29] Edward C. Holmes:** When you get to Stephen's doc it's critical that we add all details/facts we can. He's gone for the big statements which is fine, but I strongly feel that we need the details.

**[2021-05-18T20:51:22] Kristian G. Andersen:** Yup - absolutely need the details. I'll find some time tomorrow.

**[2021-05-18T20:53:40] Edward C. Holmes:** :+1: It's too vague at the moment. I added details but he chopped them.

**[2021-05-18T20:54:58] Kristian G. Andersen:** Oh, interesting... He edited text Eddie Holmes added... That's a first.

**[2021-05-18T20:59:13] Edward C. Holmes:** He's young

**[2021-05-18T21:01:40] Kristian G. Andersen:** He'll learn quick...

**[2021-05-18T21:02:37] Edward C. Holmes:** Oh he will
