# Transcript

**[2021-06-03T19:31:17] Kristian G. Andersen:** Just filing here as reference if we later need all of Tony's emails... Guess what, I once again didn't get a chance to look at the paper and I still need to focus on grants for the rest of theevening. I swear, tomorrow will be the day.

**[2021-06-03T20:00:25] Edward C. Holmes:** I'm in the same boat Kristian. Plus I think I am going slowly mad.

**[2021-06-03T20:22:09] Kristian G. Andersen:** Slowly?

**[2021-06-03T20:35:35] Edward C. Holmes:** Fair point. Did you get this? Is it a trap? Might help get some right-wing credit. I feel that I should be open. What doyou think? [shared file(s): Screen Shot 2021-06-04 at 1.33.23 pm.png]

**[2021-06-03T20:37:50] Kristian G. Andersen:** Nope, didn't get that - Bob would be the person to answer if this is a trap... I don't think so though.

**[2021-06-03T20:38:19] Edward C. Holmes:** Yes, I think it's legit. Would you do it?

**[2021-06-03T20:47:25] Kristian G. Andersen:** SLACK_001129 I think probably yes, but need @Robert Garry's eyes on it - he knows all this stuff :wink:

**[2021-06-03T20:47:25] Edward C. Holmes:** a1:

**[2021-06-03T20:47:25] Kristian G. Andersen:** I gotta share this in case any of us can muster the courage - Yuri got on the podcast with Weinstein. It might begood.... for comedic value.https:/Awww. youtube.com/watch?v=q5SRrsr-lug

**[2021-06-03T20:47:25] Edward C. Holmes:** I think I'd rather eat my own head

**[2021-06-03T20:47:25] Kristian G. Andersen:** This is actually very good. [shared file(s): Screen Shot 2021-06-03 at 9.51.00 PM.png]

**[2021-06-03T20:47:25] Edward C. Holmes:** Oh, he's good. I'm now done with Twitter. It's not doing me any good.

**[2021-06-03T20:47:25] Robert F. Garry:** The RAND thing looks legit. It usually does not hurt to teach pp! stuff.

**[2021-06-03T20:47:25] Edward C. Holmes:** Thanks Bob. I'll say yes.

**[2021-06-03T20:47:25] Edward C. Holmes:** vy was upset because she thought I said Rand Paul

**[2021-06-03T20:47:25] Robert F. Garry:** Speaking of Rand, it's not too late Eddie for you to follow Kristian's lead, play both sides and become a double agent.

**[2021-06-03T20:47:25] Kristian G. Andersen:** One has to wonder if these could be reintroductions? I mean, Foshan and Guangzhou - literally the cities SARS popped up in... https://www.shine.cn/news/nation/2106040097/ I hope they sequence them.

**[2021-06-03T20:47:25] Andrew Rambaut:** That would put a new spin on the debate... Perhaps they will have taken SC2 and added sufficient mutations so thatit looks like it is a new introduction. Get them off the hook for WIV
